Senior Avionics Validation

Deimos, a Company within Indra Group, is seeking a highly skilled Avionics Validation to join Functional Avionics team in Bucharest.

The selected candidate will support the development and design of advanced avionics functional validation infrastructures, mainly for the end-to-end validation of Earth Observation missions. This role will focus on the definition and implementation of the validation infrastructure architecture from validation specifications, with a particular emphasis on the Attitude Determination and Control Subsystem (ADCS) and AOCS for space vehicles. The ideal candidate will have extensive experience (at least 10 years) in avionics systems validation, satellite technologies, electrical interfaces and real-time systems, and will play a critical role as functional validation infrastructure technical lead.

The Avionics Validation group is integrated into the Avionics Unit, which is mainly oriented to design avionics architectures especially focused on AOCS subsystems, Functional verification including project phases C/D, FDIR definition for AOCS Subsystem, interfaces definition to support GNC and Flight Software architects. As a matter of reference, DEIMOS’ activities cover:

• Satellite formation flying, rendezvous, in-orbit servicing (IOS) and active debris removal (ADR)
