Flight Hardware Design Engineer

Several positions of Flight Hardware Design Engineer are now open in Airbus CRISA (Airbus Defense & Space) in Tres Cantos (Madrid area) for different Space business: Launchers, Earth Exploration (Copernicus), Space Exploration (Artemis), Commercial (Telecommunications Satellites). This is an opportunity to join a diverse and dynamic Technical Team focused on:

• Shape the future based on innovation of our products, new technologies and way of working,
• State of the art product consolidation,
• Continuous Performance improvement.

In accordance with the proven Candidate skills, she/he will be part of Power, Analog or Digital team and will report/be supported by the relevant Skill Manager.

Functionally, the Candidate is also part of the Project, with the main mission of developing/designing electronic units for flight equipment to achieve the unit delivery in accordance with project schedule, cost and quality requirements. In a day-to-day basis, she/he will report to Project Manager.

Within each project, the tasks are coordinated by a Technical Responsible in charge of direct reporting to the Project Manager. The Engineer’s tasks comprise the complete development of an electronic equipment: from the analysis of the requirements to the final delivery of the flight model once accepted.

Task and accountabilities:

• Support to the Technical Manager for the analysis of project requirements.
• Architecture analysis at electronic function or module level.
• Detailed electronics design based on electrical simulations at function level.
• Assure of the robustness of the design by means of: part stress analysis, worst case analysis, failure modes and criticality analysis, power budget analysis and Double Insulation requirements compliance.
• Support to Radiation Team to assure the design robustness within the radiation space environment including Single Events Effects (SEE).
• Documentation of the design.
• Laboratory and prototype testing.
• Assure the mechanical and thermal design robustness by supporting the Packaging Team.
• Support to PCB CAD team during the design of the PCB by the reviewing of the PCB layout.
• Support to the Technical Manager in the main project reviews (Requirement Review, Preliminary and Architecture Review, Critical Design Review…)
• Characterization of the flight design in clean room conditions.
• Support to Test Team for the acceptance of flight equipment, ensuring a close monitoring of any change, evolution or discrepancy from the agreed baseline in the characterization phase.
• Support to the Technical Manager in the resolution of boards NCRs (Non-conformance) raised during qualification or acceptance test campaign.

Required skills:

• Educated to Master degree level (or equivalent) in engineering or science discipline.
• Proven experience in the development of any of the following functions: Power, Analog or Digital electronics.
• Proven experience using advanced laboratory instrumentation.
• Good knowledge of design methodologies for space application and tools (Mentor, LTSPice, Matlab, SIMetrix-SIMPLIS).
• Sound mathematical basis for its application to the electronic design analysis.
• English and Spanish must be at least mid-level, both written and spoken.
• Good communication and reporting skills.
• Strong team working and cooperation spirit.
• Independent and accurate way of working.

Recommended skills are:

• Digital mindset (automation of tasks, scripting, use of digital design tools and simulators).
• Knowledge of space environment constraints.
• To be familiar with Agile Methodologies.
• For Candidates with skills on Power & Analog electronics: experience on designs using digital control techniques.
• For Candidates with skills on Digital electronics: experience on designs based on hardware-software interfaces.
• Fast prototyping techniques.
• Happy to learn and teach others.

This job requires an awareness of any potential compliance risks and a commitment to act with integrity, as the foundation for the Company’s success, reputation and sustainable growth.
