System Verification Engineering Specialist

The Systems Verification Engineering Specialist will be supporting the development and execution of key system verification and validation plans as part of the overall constellation “Integration, Verification and Validation” (IVV) Strategy of the Telesat LEO constellation Network.

In addition, they will coordinate and participate in the various development activities with the relevant engineering and integration teams, in preparation of the system verification, for the different Lightspeed Network segments, for Pre-launch preparation as well as post launch Satellite and System level verification activities.

Main Responsibilities

The System Verification Engineering Specialist will report to the Director of Constellation System Verification

In this role, the candidate will be working with the different system segment engineering teams to help developed and plan appropriate system verification strategies and test philosophies to be executed following Launch of the Lightspeed satellite that will make up the Lightspeed constellation.

These plans will influence the system verification and validation of the Telesat LEO system and will be part of the post launch Satellite In-orbit test (IOT) campaign and end to end system acceptance test phase.

Responsibilities are:

· Develop system and subsystem verification plans, processes and procedures with support from the different segment teams

· Support verification strategy, development, and implementation of the test philosophy, including Satellite IOT and Constellation System Acceptance test phases

· Help develop and maintain the system verification matrices against the Lightspeed system requirements

· Support, Coordinate and participate in the various system hardware and software verification processes

· Assist in the implementation of networking verification tasks, ensuring seamless communication between the different segment hardware and software teams

· Contribute to the development of software tools, libraries, and frameworks to enhance overall product quality, efficiency and verification approach

· Participate in software and hardware design and test reviews (PDR, CDR,TRR & TRBs), providing constructive feedback to enhance equipment and code quality and adherence to equipment and coding standards.

· Help to maintain configuration control data for all verification test activities

· Collaborate with the segment teams to troubleshoot and resolve software or hardware defects, bugs and general technical issues raised during system verification tests

· Collaborate with the segment teams to support and develop the industry leading embedded SW test methodologies

· Support the integration of hardware and software components and subsystem, into the final verification of system network

· Assist in the testing and validation of software features, ensuring functionality and performance meet specified requirements

· Collaborate with cross-functional teams, including product managers and designers, to understand verification requirements and contribute to technical discussions

· Maintain clear and organized documentation of software and hardware verification, processes, and verification development tasks

· Demonstrate effective teamwork and communication skills, both orally and in writing

· Work with various Segment Vendors to help integrate the verification and validation process

· Work with partners and other vendors in various verification test campaigns

· Help to further develop the System Verification team

Education and Experience Required
