Responsibilities:
To define and propose solutions to meet customer requirements in compliance with product and / system technical strategy.
To assess technique and technological choices to ensure the best trade-off between customer requirements, technical solutions andcost & risk control.
To guarantee the preparation of technical documentation (specification, design and justification files etc.) with the adequate quality level and to support the subcontractor choice for needed subsystem acquisition, taking into accountpossible export control restrictions.
To contribute to system engineering activity management, within constraints provided by the agreed architecture and design policy in order to satisfy customer requirements, and ensures global development consistency.
To contribute to planning and coordination of system engineering activities by interacting with Project Design Authorities, team of Architects and specialties System Engineers.
To contribute to the identification of WBS, OBS and associated project tasks, tailoring development process and ensuring achievement of the development baselines (functional, allocated and product),
To contribute to identification of Risks & Opportunities of design and development during bid phase, to guarantee programme commitments, including those flown down to subcontractors and partners.
To optimize technical work against costs, schedule and risks from design to validation and acceptance of the solution.
To implement the decisions and actions coming from the Complexity Profiler analysis.
To define and tailor the engineering environment suitable for the Bid or the Project.
To guarantee the proper coordination with Solution/System/Payload Architects, in:ocapturing quantum key distribution(QKD)/opticalrequirements, defining systemand subsystems architectural solutions meeting the requirements, assessingachievable systemand subsystemsperformance for the proposed architectures, identifyingimprovement opportunities;operforming requirements flow-down, from customer specification down-to equipment requirements;ogenerating representative software simulation models for end-to-end systems, for payloadsand advanced architectures focusing on quantum communications, quantum key distribution and optical communications.
To contribute to the development of quantum and optical communication laboratory by:odefining appropriate testbed architecture;
generating specifications for HW and SW equipment to be implemented in the tes-bed;otechnically assessing the offers produced by external suppliers;operforming tests in laboratory and collecting and analyzing the results.
To lead the preparation of review design documentationfor the activity under his responsibility.
To provide technical interface of IVVQ Manager , to guarantee the consistency between design and IVVQ activities.
To support the anomaly management process through anomaly reviews, corrective action development and payload performance analysis.
To participate in AIV/AIT reviews and satellite test activities.Experience /
