Working for Open Cosmos
Aim high, go beyond!
At Open Cosmos we are solving the world's biggest challenges from space, providing businesses, governments and researchers access to more readily available information than ever before - ready for the challenge? Then read on…
Working in the Electronics Team
Our Electronics Team is responsible for the design, development, integration and maintenance of the electronics hardware & firmware for the entire satellite. The team utilises the concept of "Product Owners"; team members are assigned electronics products, of which they are primarily responsible for the development and will be the point of contact for information on that particular sub-system. This is a great opportunity to own and shape a sub-system design and development roadmap. Our team works collaboratively, discussing and challenging each other's ideas as we tackle a wide array of technical challenges.
Open Cosmos owns the entire satellite platform lifecycle, from Bids to Mission Design through to Development, Build & In-Orbit Commissioning. As such, members of the Electronics Team are required to assist with practical fault finding, testing and debugging of satellite systems on-site, during integration and testing phases.
What will you be doing?
Whilst your main responsibility will be technical lead for digital electronics, the day-to-day will involve communicating with other departments to advise and contribute to technical problems and work toward solutions. You will be collaborating with the Electronics Team to advise on digital electronics design best practice as we continue to develop our On Board Computer (OBC) and Payload Data Processing Unit (PDPU). From a design perspective, your focus will be on:
Optimising high-speed data transfer throughout the system
Ensuring compatibility with an array of communication protocols
Microcontroller firmware programming across all electronics products
Design for manufacture & testability
Your primary responsibility will be to drive the development of digital electronics (both hardware & software) whilst ensuring robust performance, reliability, and efficiency in the harsh space environment. This will involve incorporating best design practice and consideration for radiation tolerance and EMI mitigation.
What you need to be successful
Ability to work effectively in a fast-paced environment whilst managing multiple design topics & issues in parallel
Agility to respond to urgent issues offering technical support & fault diagnosis both on-site & via video-calls.
Strong problem-solving skills, with the ability to effectively diagnose and troubleshoot issues in digital electronics systems using design files, system knowledge, and hands-on testing.
Excellent communication skills, both verbal and written, to collaborate effectively with colleagues, stakeholders and governing bodies with varying degrees of technical experience.
Deep understanding of quality principles and best practices in digital electronics design, including design for reliability, fault tolerance, and radiation tolerance.
Proficiency in CAD (ideally Altium) for schematic capture, PCB layout, and design verification, with a keen eye for detail and accuracy.
