Act as the technical point of contact on the Avionics subsystem with key stakeholders: internal project teams, customers, subcontractors.
Perform requirements engineering (analysis, flow-up and down) related to spacecraft power systems, and the power interfaces of other on-board hardware
Develop and maintain power subsystem architecture for ClearSpace missions
Maintain spacecraft power budgets and parametric models for the power subsystem
Analyse EMC constraints for power subsystem and identify mitigation measures
Support the definition of power related test equipment
Define validation, verification and test plans
Support integration and test of power subsystem, including generation of reports
Support flight operations
Generate documentation for the full project lifetime (e.g. Design, Development and Verification Plan; FMEA; design review documentation; in-orbit subsystem operational procedures)
Support to customer and project reviews
Unit definition and procurement
Write and support Requests for Proposals (RFPs) to external companies for avionics units reviewing responses and supporting-down selections
