About the role

  • Senior FDIR-FSW Engineer working on satellite system designs and FDIR implementation for Fastwater Staffing. Requires collaboration with various engineering teams and significant experience with satellite systems.

Responsibilities

  • Work with operations, systems, subsystems, and payload engineers to document and review system designs for FDIR
  • Define the fault detection actions of the platform at the system and subsystem levels
  • Define and document how the platform will interfact with the payload for satellite level FDIR
  • Work with the operations team to define the contingency scenarios involving FDIR
  • Work with customers to use their input for FDIR strategy to refine MDA’s FDIR strategy ensuring that the strategies are compatible
  • Work with the FSW team to determine the FDIR test plan on the FlatSat and DSS
  • Work with the AI&T team to determine what FDIR needs to be tested at the spacecraft level
  • Work with system, subsystems, payload, and units teams to review FMECAs and provide feedback on the detection, isolation, and recovery of failures modes
  • Provide input to the Operations team for Operations Procedures, Operations Manuals, and Satellite test procedures to ensure that the Operations documents and FDIR strategy are aligned
  • Review ICDs to provide inputs to the satellite DB team for parameters and monitors
  • Review payload, platform, and subsystem design; including block diagrams, ICDs, ConOps, and requirement to ensure that the design is compliant with FDIR requirements
  • Review Operations Procedures to ensure that they align with the FDIR strategy
  • Review FDIR test artifacts to determine if the tests are successful and if they are not, work with the team to troubleshoot how to resolve non compliances
  • Verification & Validation Matrices for platform and payload FDIR requirements
  • Support the payload team in their definition of payload FDIR and how it impacts the satellite level FDIR
  • Support the operations team as needed for In-Orbit Test (IOT), anomaly resolution + FDIR
  • Support the ICD development activities both HW and SW/DB

Requirements

  • Bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering, computer science or in a relevant field
  • At least 10 years of relevant practical experience
  • Previous experience with LEO/MEO satellite systems
  • Strong cross-functional team collaboration
  • Experience with analysis of satellite systems and subsystems
  • Familiarity and/or experience with FMECAs and/or Fault Tree Analysis
  • An understanding of how failures can propagate through a system
  • Ability to decompose system level failures down to the unit level and back up from the unit to the system level
  • Knowledge of satellite FSW and how monitors work for FDIR
  • Knowledge of how to test HW and SW for FDIR
  • Previous experience in Constellation FDIR
  • Creation of Fault Trees and FMECAs
  • Experience with reliability analysis
  • Working knowledge of PUS services
  • Experience with mentoring junior engineers
  • Experience with FDIR on embedded systems
  • Experience with payload FDIR.
  • Knowledge of MS Excel, for the purposes of engineering analyses
  • Knowledge of requirements Management tools such as DOORS/Windchill/Jama
  • Demonstrated capability to efficiently work with little to no supervision
  • Strong written and verbal communications skills in English, knowledge of French will be considered favorably.

Benefits
