In this role you will become an integral part of Aerospacelab’s V&V team as a Satellite V&V engineer, with the responsibility of being the V&V lead on a variety of space missions and taking charge of daily V&V Megafactory operations in Charleroi.
As a V&V mission lead, you will be fully responsible to coordinate the functional V&V activities of specific space missions. This includes the planning, preparation and execution of V&V campaigns which are performed on representative avionics test benches, as well as on the satellite flight models that will eventually be launched into space. Through scripts and our test management system, you will interact with the satellite or equivalent test setups to verify and validate their design and good workmanship.
In a short timeline, you will have the opportunity to get in touch with the different verification phases of a satellite’s lifecycle (from conception to post-launch). Throughout these campaigns, you will increase your understanding of how the satellite works internally (both flight software & hardware units related to the different satellite subsystems), as well as in the context of its operational usage. A large focus of the mission leading is on the payload-specific tests for the mission you are involved with. You will participate in the launch campaign of the satellite, with satellite preparation & configuration activities on the launcher’s site. After launch, you will be responsible for validating new flight software updates, in close collaboration with the flight software team and mission manager.
In this role, you are also responsible for planning and execution of the daily V&V operations within the Megafactory on satellite constellations, with a continuous contribution to efficiency and automation improvements in the daily way of working.
If you are motivated to explore the combination of V&V mission leading and Megafactory operations within the context of pragmatic & quality-focused satellite V&V… this position is for you.
