Role Purpose

The System Architect will act as the principal expert for the fields of high-throughput satellite architecture, design and operation. You will be involved in current and upcoming projects requiring architectural design of new solutions, integration with 3rd party systems, or/design/procurement. You’ll be working within a team in which you will be a technical escalation point for the Satellite resource Management group.

Key Accountabilities & Responsibilities

• Assist in the development and maintenance of the Sys Engg Space function CONOPS (concept of operations) alongside this you’ll be representing the Sys Engg Space function in incident and anomaly investigations.
• Be the technical SME in system design activities focused on redesign/optimisation of system coverage, capacity, or introduction of new functionality.
• Act as a technical escalation point for the SRM sub-function as and when required.
• In coordination with SRM, contribute to the architecture, implementation and testing of business continuity & disaster recovery designs and processes, ensuring service continuity for all strategic target market segments and customers.
• Create and manage User and System Requirements in close collaboration with the project Technical Management.
