About PLD Space
PLD Space is an international space servicescompany with inhouse engineering and manufacturing. It is dedicated totransporting satellites and humansintospace vertically integrating engineering testing manufacturing anrations of its reusable and sustainable rockets. Headquartered in Elche(Spain) and founded in 2011 by RalTorres and Ral Verd PLD Space has established itself asa global benchmark in the space launcher sector. Its MIURA family of launchersand its LINCE manned capsule position the company as a leader in Europeantechnological sovereignty in space transportation covering the full range ofspace missions.
With a team of more than 280 employees and 170million in total funding PLD Space also has the largest private test benchesin Europe located in Teruel (Spain) and operates two launch bases: ElArenosillo in Huelva (Spain); and the Guiana Space Centre (CSG) in Kourou(French Guiana). In total it has more than 188000m2 of industrialinfrastructures under management.
Mission
As an Avionics Hardware Design Engineer of the Avionics Teamyou will be responsible for all aspects of hardware electronics design anddevelopment lifecycle from highlevel requirements collection to detail designof the different subsystems and avionics components providing also support onthe manufacturing assembly and its integration in launch vehicles.
Responsibilities
- Analyse and trace highlevel avionics subsystem requirements to electrical and electronic specifications at unit and board levels.
- Manage and maintain avionics components requirements.
- Elaborate internal design criteria standards and rules for avionics hardware.
Design anddevelopment
- Participate and collaborate concurrently to consolidate the architecture definition of Electrical Power Systems (EPS) OnBoard Data Handling subsystems (OBDH) and flight instrumentation.
- Drive the design and development of launch vehicle electronics hardware such as flight computers sensors acquisition units power control and distribution systems batteries and actuation systems among others.
- Perform componentlevel architecture definition and detailed design components selection analysis schematic capture board layout place and route.
- Perform technical tradeoff analyses (EEE components selection technologies architectures schemes topologies etc. to make technical decisions.
- Conduct avionics hardware analyses to feed designvalidation loops (singlepoint failure FMEA reliability hazard analysis thermal radiation etc..
- Perform circuit functional checks debugging troubleshooting and confidence testing.
- Coordinate with a multidisciplinary team (software firmware mechanical AIT harness production) to fulfill the quality cost and programmatic objectives.
- Drive improvements and perform investigations and trade studies to push avionics hardware design to new boundaries in terms of reliability capabilities mass and cost savings.
Documentation
- Generate and release on schedule engineering documentation such as schematics BOMs production files 3D models drawings ICDs preliminary and detailed design documents analysis and technical tradeoff reports.
- Document and communicate the design and analysis results thoroughly and clearly via design reviews.
Interfaces
- Collaborate actively with the Supply Chain team to support all the activities related to external developments manufacturing and procurement. Support vendor selection manufacturing monitoring and procurement of EEE components and PCBs according to applicable product assurance standards.
- Collaborate actively as focal point of avionics components design with the AIT team to support the qualification and acceptance test campaigns (functional and environment tests).
- Provide interface support with the AIT and Production team to ensure compliance with the final design and feasibility to fulfill schedule goals.
