Full Job Description
## Description ispace is seeking a highly motivated and talented GNC Systems Engineer to join the System Design Group under the Global Design division, responsible for the design and development of lunar landers and other transportation and/or communication/navigation platforms. The ideal candidate will have in-depth experience on GNC (AOCS) design, implementation, integration, V&V and operations, good technical knowledge of multiple spacecraft subsystems and experience in the system engineering disciplines for spacecraft design. This is a unique opportunity to join a truly fascinating project, the first stage of ispace’s plans to perform resource prospecting on the moon. In this position, you will be assigned to one or more of ispace's projects, and join a small, international team of engineers working towards the detailed design and qualification of our first missions. Candidates with demonstrated "hands-on" experience in some engineering domains and interdisciplinary experience are preferred. Teamwork is valued, and depending on the strengths of each member of the systems engineering team, the responsibilities listed below will be assigned accordingly. ## Key responsibilities Support the definition of a “product baseline”, creating standard requirements, system architecture, ICDs, design and analysis goals, test plans and operations concepts. Perform system level trade-offs, coordinating inputs from various disciplines within the team, to evaluate any proposed changes of the design baseline to satisfy the need of each individual mission. Take ownership of the technical budgets, such as mass, propellant budget, pointing/landing accuracy for spacecraft performance. Ensure internal interfaces between various spacecraft subsystems are maintained. Contribute to requirements management ensuring all requirements are closed-out at the planned project landmarks. Contribute to risk assessments during the spacecraft development and support the Project Manager in defining ri
