Satellite Platform Electrical Systems Engineer

Job Category: Engineering
Location: Quebec, Canada
Employment Type: Contract
Location Terms: Remote

We’re looking for a Platform Electrical Systems Engineer to join a forward-thinking team developing a new generation of telecommunications satellites. This role focuses on the power and electrical infrastructure of the satellite platform — covering everything from interface design to radiation analysis and system-level testing.

If you're a systems-minded electrical engineer with experience in space power generation, distribution, and failure analysis, this is your chance to make a lasting impact on next-gen satellite architecture.

What You’ll Be Doing:

  • Manage electrical interface documentation for power, analog, digital, and RF subsystems

  • Analyze and support the design of power generation, storage, and distribution systems

  • Perform FMEAs and contribute to failure detection, isolation, and recovery (FDIR) strategies

  • Prepare and review test plans, procedures, and reports for platform-level validation

  • Conduct ionizing radiation analyses including total dose and single event effects (SEE)

  • Create systems engineering documents such as requirement specifications, compliance statements, verification matrices, and design descriptions

  • Contribute to satellite concept of operations and payload integration activities

  • Participate in major program milestone reviews: EQSR, SRR, PDR, and CDR

What You’ll Bring:

  • A bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering or related field

  • 5+ years of experience working on spacecraft electrical systems

  • Solid understanding of power systems at the platform level, including generation, storage, and distribution

  • Background in electrical systems engineering, including experience with unit design, harnessing, data bus standards, and system-level testing

Nice to Have:

  • Knowledge of space environments, RF equipment, and power subsystem technologies including solar arrays and batteries

  • Experience mentoring or leading junior engineers

  • Ability to work independently in a fast-paced, cross-functional team

  • Excellent communication skills in English; knowledge of French is a plus
