Role overview:
MDA is seeking a Software Integration System Engineer that acts as the bridge between disparate technologies, designing and implementing solutions to merge software, hardware, databases and networks into a unified system. The incumbent will analyze, develop, test, and maintain these integrated systems to ensure interoperability, functionality, and performance. This role involves also managing the full project lifecycle, creating documentation, maintaining technical interfaces, APIs, and workflows to ensure seamless communication between software applications, on current and next‑generation remote sensing & communications satellite programs.
Tasks Summary:
Architecture Documentation & Requirements
Author and maintain software Test & Validation Plans, system‑test requirements, verification & validation matrices, and detailed test procedures.
Produce Verification & Validation Matrices for payload and platform software features and FDIR requirements according to the program milestones.
Perform requirement management and maintain bidirectional traceability throughout the project lifecycle.
Integration & Verification (IVV) Strategy
Define integration and validation strategies for the DSS (SIL), payload software functions and FSW on FlatSat development platforms.
Lead or coordinate the DSS/FlatSat design team to build and integrate the software features according to specifications and incremental SW load/build specifics.
Software & EGSE Development
Support the definition of EGSE software functions, test scripts, and associated documentation.
Cross‑Functional Coordination, Stakeholder & Program Interaction
Communicate technical status, risk assessments and trade‑study results to senior management and/or customers or partners.
Coordinate the integration work of subsystems on the development platforms.
Review Interface Documents (ICDs) and provide inputs to the Satellite Reference Database team for parameters and monitoring.
Support Satellite Reference Database development and validation
