About the role

We are seeking a Senior FDIR-FSW Systems Engineer to support the design, analysis, and verification of Fault Detection, Isolation, and Recovery (FDIR) systems for advanced LEO and MEO satellite programs.
In this role, you will work closely with multidisciplinary engineering teams to develop robust fault management strategies, analyze satellite systems and subsystems, and ensure flight software reliability through verification, validation, and testing.

Design and analyze Fault Detection, Isolation, and Recovery (FDIR) strategies for satellite systems.
Perform systems engineering analysis for satellite platforms and subsystems.
Develop fault management strategies by tracing failures from system-level to unit-level components.
Support the design, verification, validation, and testing of satellite flight software (FSW) for FDIR.
Collaborate with cross-functional engineering teams to ensure system reliability and mission success.

Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or a related engineering discipline.
10+ years of relevant engineering experience (advanced degrees may be considered in lieu of some experience).
Experience supporting LEO and/or MEO satellite systems.
Strong cross-functional collaboration and systems engineering experience.
Experience analyzing satellite systems and subsystems.
Familiarity with Failure Modes, Effects, and Criticality Analysis (FMECA) and/or Fault Tree Analysis (FTA).
Strong understanding of failure propagation across complex systems.
Ability to decompose system-level failures to the unit level and evaluate their overall system impact.
Knowledge of satellite Flight Software (FSW) and FDIR monitoring concepts.
Experience testing hardware and software components supporting FDIR functionality.

Experience with ECSS-E-ST-70-41C standards.
Experience with PUS-based FDIR verification, validation, and testing.
Experience supporting satellite flight software development and mission assurance.
Familiarity with ESA standards and aerospace systems engineering best practices.

TBD -- based on skills and experience Important Screening Requirements Must be eligible to obtain or hold Controlled Goods Program (CGP) clearance.
H-1B visa holders are welcome to apply.
Relocation assistance is available for qualified candidates.
Candidates working remotely or in a hybrid capacity must be willing to travel and work on-site in Montreal for at least one week per month.
