Security Internship Jobs in Quebec (NOW HIRING)

Role overview:

Our client is seeking a Satellite C&DH System Engineer to support and/or design, integrate, verify, and support the onboard command, control and data management functions for current and nextgeneration remote sensing & communications satellite programs. The role will own the C&DH functional architecture, drive tradestudies, and may provide technical authority throughout the spacecraft lifecycle.

Tasks summary:

Architecture Concept & Requirements

• Translate missionlevel requirements into C&DH functional and nonfunctional specifications.
• Produce System Requirements, Interface Control (ICDs), and Description documents.
• Perform requirement management and maintain bidirectional traceability throughout the project lifecycle.
• Collaborate with cybersecurity to embed resilience and security by design, ECU.

Design & Development

• Lead detailed design of onboard processors, databuses (SpaceWire, MIL1553, CAN, Ethernet), memory subsystems, and I/O interfaces.
• Support software architecture: command sequencing, telemetry packetization, healthmonitoring, services, faultdetectionisolationrecovery (FDIR).
• Support Satellite Reference Database development and validation

CrossFunctional Coordination, Stakeholder & Program Interaction

• Communicate technical status, risk assessments and tradestudy results to senior management and/or customers or partners.
• Work with FSW teams to define RTOS, APIs, task scheduling, realtime operating system configuration, services usage.
• Define uplink command formatting, downlink telemetry packet structures, and groundsegment datahandling interfaces (missioncontrol servers, dataarchiving pipelines).
• Coordinate with the TT&C/PDT engineering and Ground Segment ICDs to ensure endtoend data integrity.
• Support B&P (Phase 0 & pre-phase A).

Integration & Verification (IVV)

• Develop verification plans, test matrices, and validation procedures for unit, subsystem, and spacecraft level C&DH tests.
• Execute functional tests, busprotocol compliance, SIL and HIL campaigns.
• Manage anomaly investigations, rootcause analysis, and correctiveaction implementation.

Technical Leadership & Mentorship

• Mentor, guide junior engineers and interns.
• Act as technical liaison with customers, partners and external vendors
• Act as Continuous Improvement stakeholder
• Contribute to our client's knowledgebase, process enhancements, and standards.

Configuration, Documentation & Standards Management

• Author and maintain C&DH standards (bus protocols, dataformat conventions, redundancy policies).
• Ensure all artefacts, analysis and documentations are version controlled in PLM environment.
• Support design reviews (SRR, PDR, CDR, MRR/TRR...etc.).
• Support Technology RoadMapping & Innovation

OnOrbit & Operations Support

• Support launchprelaunch and earlyorbit checkout, validate satellite functions, HK and nominal operation
• Support and analyse onorbit telemetry, update filter parameters as needed.
• Support SOOH development and associated operator trainings

Required Qualifications:

• B.Sc. in Electrical Engineering, Aerospace or related field with 8+years of C&DH engineering experience on LEO/MEO/GEO platforms.
• Deep knowledge of spacecraft databus standards: SpaceWire, MIL1553, CANA, Ethernet, CCSDS packet telemetry/command and PUS services.
• Knowledge in processor, FPGA, firmware and embedded
• Strong understanding of aerospace system engineering fundamentals, space environment and orbit mechanics.
• Hands-on individual who can support systems integration processes and capability to test systems and resolve problems.
• Experience with Confluence and JIRA.
• Demonstrated capability to efficiently work with little supervision.
• Ability to distill complex problems to fundamentals to solve with analysis, similarity, or creativity.
• Demonstrate excellent written and oral communication skills in English; knowledge of French will be considered an asset (Contact with clients outside Quebec and work on deliverables in English).
