Electronics Engineer

At Dark, we passionately believe that space represents not only a cornerstone of the modern world but also a catalyst for shaping our future. Our mission is clear: pioneering spacecraft and mission designs for the protection of vital orbits and assets.

That is why we are gathering a team of bright minds to tackle crucial challenges through advanced engineering. Our focus? Velocity. We are kicking in technologies that will enable faster-than-ever orbital missions, ushering in a new era defined by unprecedented agility and boundless opportunity.

Joining the electronics department, you will participate in the development of tailor-made on-board computers and other avionics subsystems integrated within the HADES spacecraft. From concept to manufacturing and space qualification, you will ensure the consistency of your solution with the system's needs and extract sub-components from this design to be replicated for other functions.

First Missions

• Getting up to speed on the avionic architecture and past electronics activities
• Developing a multi-core on-board computer dedicated to imagery and 3D mapping
• Implementing and testing the power supply units for the thermal control function

Responsibilities

• Elaborating the electronic sub-system architecture consistently with the system specifications
• Guaranteeing the performance and reliability of the subsystems being developed
• Simulating analog and digital circuits
• Maintaining our library of components and functions to be reused on multiple boards
• Interfacing with and supporting other engineering fields
• Searching and selecting appropriate components for our mission, and building relationships with providers
• Contributing to the electronics processes and tools, to meet high-quality engineering standards

• 7+ years of experience, and proven knowledge in electronic design and systems engineering
• Ideal background from the Defense / Aerospace industry (e.g. MBDA, Thales, Dassault, Safran, etc.)
• Hands-on experience with industrial or space projects
• Expertise in electronic board design (Altium Designer) and electronic circuit simulation (Spice)
• Knowledge of the effects of space radiation is a plus
• As we have an international team, knowledge of technical English is required. Fluency in French is a plus

Culture
