SATELITTE SYSTEM ENGINEER* BERLIN

jember GmbH is a specialised technology company that combines professionalism and know how with a modern corporate culture. Together we work on the high end technologies of „tomorrow“ in the automotive and aerospace sectors. For our team in Berlin in our growing company we offer a position in a new Space project with good development opportunities.

DESCRIPTION

Your work task will be as a System Engineer on the Satellite Bus, which is essentially the structural framework of the satellite that houses all the necessary components for its operation. It serves as the backbone of the satellite, providing support for various systems and payloads. The satellite bus is responsible for providing power, propulsion, thermal control, and communication capabilities to the satellite. It is essentially the platform on which all other satellite components are mounted.

YOUR TASKS

Key responsibilities include performing routine analysis, adhering to manufacturer-recommended operations, and investigating and resolving system deviations and anomalies. You will develop satellite operations procedures, products, and processes based on manufacturer documentation and operational protocols. In the event of system anomalies, you will develop and implement recovery procedures, ensuring timely and effective resolution to maintain continuous satellite operations. You will also collaborate with engineering teams to provide technical guidance and ensure safe, efficient, and optimal satellite performance.

You will be responsible for:

• Continuous surveillance and analysis of telemetry data to evaluate satellite health and performance, trending it against models and predictions, and forecasting likely changes, particularly regarding traffic capacity
• Providing engineering support for satellite requirement definitions, proposal evaluations, negotiations, and design analysis, ensuring operational experience is considered in new satellite procurements
• Supporting definition of satellite requirements for integration with satellite operations ground control systems, including the creation of test plans, conducting acceptance tests, and resolving issues
• Preparing for the launch of new satellites, through support to satellite manufacturer mission design reviews and post launch separation and orbit raising phases
• Developing, validating and maintaining operational procedures, tools, and processes to maintain optimal satellite and service performance, with a focus to task automation
• Providing technical advice to internal teams and satellite users regarding satellite capabilities, performance and operations
• Optimizing satellite performance by performing necessary engineering analysis, modelling, and parameter modifications to meet new business needs.
• Support preparation of on-orbit satellite performance reports to internal and external customers
• Perform on-call responsibilities on a rotating basis, available to support satellite operations outside of regular business hours, including weekends, to address requested operations and/or emergencies. On-call response may require travel to the local satellite control centre for support actions
