You will join our Spacecraft & Systems Engineering group (5-10 people and wider projects) and report to the Functional Avionics Lead in our Stevenage site.
The Spacecraft group produce some of our most exciting and innovative products, like the Mars Sample Fetch Rover, Biomass and Solar Orbiter, as well as earth observation satellites. You will be assigned to one of our groundbreaking projects and ensure all functional verification activities are properly executed.
The Functional Verification team is key to ensuring our spacecrafts are successful in space. The team addresses all testing activities set in place for verifying and validating the spacecraft functions. It covers functions implemented by H/W or S/W and ensure that the spacecraft is “fit for customer” & “fit for mission”.
What will you be doing?
You will be responsible for tasks covering the complete test cycles: test specification, test procedure, test execution and assessment. The tests will target both numerical test benches (fully simulated) and hybrid hardware benches. Working closely with the Functional Team, you will lead anomaly investigations when they arise.
Your tasks and responsabilities will include
- Establish the necessary and sufficient configuration to perform the FV task.
- Validation of the functional chains through end to end open loop tests (GNC, DHS, ..)
- Validate the nominal and reconfiguration functions of the sub-assembly through closed loop tests
- Development of Automated Test Procedures (ATP) against a test specification.
- Execution of the ATPs on the various test benches
- Test data analysis and Test Report Compilation (in coengineering with design areas).
- Investigation of anomalies and diagnosis (root cause, solution proposal…)
In addition, you may be exposed to the following aspects:
- Interactions with other design architect/system engineers, AIT and customers
- Schedule, quality, costs and risks for all FV related activities within the Project
- Definition of the whole FV strategy for the project.
- Contribute to Functional Verification Infrastructure architecture, monitoring the development and procurement of FV Infrastructure
