SPACE ENGINEER (ON-BOARD AND LV VALIDATION) - M/F

>APPLY NOW<

The Position

Kinéis is hiring a Space Engineer to join the team responsible for the operations of Kinéis satellites and to take on software validation tasks for flight platform and payload.

Are you a satellite operations specialist? Would you like to use your skills to enable millions of terminals to access space? Join Kinéis!

You will be part of the Technical and Operations Department at Kinéis, responsible for maintaining the operational readiness of Kinéis satellites and system. You will oversee the command and control operations of satellites, initially focusing on the platform and eventually on the entire satellite.

Your future tasks will include:

Developing and maintaining operational products (Flight Procedures, Visualisation Pages / TM Summary / Constellation Status / Operational Database), and validating them on simulators or FLATSAT.
Improving/maintaining operational sequences for both payload and satellite, particularly automating these sequences to simplify operations on the constellation.
Writing and maintaining operational documentation (via WIKI).
Performing routine and exceptional operations (including occasional shift work and on-call duty).
Monitoring satellites in coordination with satellite and CU experts (defining parameters and alert thresholds), preparing monthly satellite reports, and analyzing long-term TM data of the constellation.
Partial ownership of FDS or other operational components to support on-call duties across other subsystems when needed.
Preparing operations and performing the first operations (launches, commissioning, in-flight acceptance) until the constellation is fully operational at CNES for the platform. After the in-flight acceptance, operations will transition to Kinéis. Initially, you will join the CNES team to prepare the transfer of knowledge to Kinéis. Later, you will participate in satellite command/control operations (platform and payload) at Kinéis (maintenance, reconfiguration, decommissioning, etc.) and MCO of the entire operational system.

In relation to operations, new versions of onboard software will need to be validated before being loaded for flight. In this context, you will participate in:

Managing the operations simulator (context management, configuration setup, launching test scenarios, and first-level analysis) to deploy and validate flight software on simulators.
Tracking technical issues with flight software and validating them on simulators after each new delivery.
Overseeing global MCO of satellites and more broadly the complete Kinéis system (on-board and ground).

Enhancing the wiki to ensure a comprehensive satellite user manual (including workarounds/limitations related to flight software).

Profile Required

Education: General engineering degree (Master's level).
Experience: Strong experience in technical command/control activities and satellite operations and/or flight dynamics.
Hard Skills

Space Sector:

Strong skills in satellite operations (positioning, maintenance).
Knowledge of the various functional chains of a satellite.
Expertise in command/control (satellite modes, monitoring, commandability and observability).
Experience in satellite simulation.
Prior experience with CCC ISIS operations is a plus.

IT:

Operating Systems: Windows and Linux.
Configuration management tools (e.g., git).
Programming/scripting languages (Python, C++, tcl/tk, Java, shell, etc.).

Beyond your technical skills, your soft skills for this position should include:

- Versatility, adaptability, and flexibility.
- Curiosity and proactivity in problem investigation.
- Independence, responsiveness, and a sense of responsibility.
- Rigor and organizational skills.
- Enjoyment of teamwork in a multidisciplinary environment.
- Proficiency in English (reading, speaking, writing).
