Project Design Authority (12 months contract) [25150]

HE Space is a successful international space company. For 40 years, we have been supporting our customers with qualified experts in the field of engineering, science and administration. HE Space has joined forces with CS Group to lead the engineering and digital space market in Europe and to provide highly skilled consulting.

You will lead the technical definition and design of satellite-based solutions that position and connect anyone and anything, everywhere, help observe our planet, optimise the use of our planet's resources, and even to spacecraft to discover the universe!

A solution is understood as a space equipment or subsystem that includes elements of different disciplines: hardware, software, firmware, digital and analogue electronics, radio-frequency, and power electronics.

Position functions:

• Acts as the primary technical leader of the bid or project team, leading the solution design.
• Acts as the lead technical interface with the Customer.
• Assess alternative solutions.
• Ensures the feasibility of the Solution, including:
• the adequacy of the solution in terms of architecture and technology maturity with respect to
• solution requirements,
• The consistency of the Solution with the Product Policy and Make-Team-Buy strategy,
• The feasibility with respect to cost, schedule, skills, resources, and industrial organization,
• The compliance with the contractual requirements,
• The risk assessment and the related mitigation plan.
• Support the capture, bid, and project team to understand the context and customer needs.
