Lazio, Lazio

A Joint Venture between Thales (67%) and Leonardo (33%), Thales Alenia Space is a global space manufacturer delivering, for more than 40 years, high-tech solutions for telecommunications, navigation, Earth Observation, environmental management, exploration, science and orbital infrastructures.

Thanks to our diversity of skills, talents and cultures, our customers (governments, institutions, space agencies, telecommunications operators), therefore have Space to Connect, Secure & Defend, Observe & Protect, Explore, Travel & Navigate.

And at the end is placed as a TAS-Thales standard for every vacancy.

Thales Alenia Space conceive, design and deliver high technology solutions for satellites, payloads, equipment, systems and services for telecommunications, observation, navigation and exploration programs, as well as orbital Infrastructures and space transportation systems.

The Rome site is a center of excellence for Earth Observation, Navigation and Telecom programs.

**About us

The "Electrical Power Systems & Harness Engineering" unit belongs to the "Avionics & Electrical

Engineering" department in the Competence Center Platform and Integration - Italy.

We are responsible of the Harness and Electrical Power Subsystem architecture leading relevant engineering activities in the whole lifecycle of projects and/or products, from initial conceiving and feasibility studies, bids and proposal preparation, design and implementation, up to launch, LEOP and in orbit operations and maintenance.

Main responsibilities are:

- Definition of the Harness and Electrical Power subsystem architecture

- Requirement analysis, flow down and subsystem architectures trade-off

- Electrical power and harness analysis and performance verification

- Customer and Subco's technical follow-up

- Electrical Power Subsystem and Harness IVVQ at spacecraft level

- Electrical Power Subsystem and Harness support to S/C AIT tests and launch campaign

- Control account, schedule and risks management

- Participation to bids for solution identification and costing definition

- Afford related R&D activities

**About the job

In this role You will be in charge of

the performance evaluation for specific product lines on LEO inclined orbits, with their variants and relevant project declinations, covering the following main tasks:

- Assess and analyze mission Operational Requirement Documents, ORD.

- Interface main peers, (i. e.

AEL Arch, Sys E2E, Avionics, Payloads. . )

- Implement Electrical and RFC architectures

- Assess electrical I/F resources, sizing and budgets

- Assess RFC issues through modeling and analysis

- Implement Power architecture in simulation environments

- Assess energy balance, resources sizing and justification

- Able to perform System and S/S IVVQ

- Support AIV across Product Life cycles

- Support OPS team for SVTs, FOP, LEOP sims, LEOP and commissioning

This request is for a permanent position.

The working site is Rome, but it might be required working in other locations for short mid-term periods (e. g.

subcontractors technical follow-up, attendance to external test facilities or counseling / support in customer premises)

Short periods of 24h shift working across the full week might be required upon specific program needs (e. g. , AIT or LEOP schedule).
