Space Domain Awareness (SDA) is the current and predictive knowledge of the space environment. It is fundamental for conducting space operations safely. It includes knowledge
about space systems capabilities, operational readiness, limitations, as well as environmental conditions, events, threats and activities (both current and planned) in, from, toward or
through space.
Several capabilities contribute to SDA: Space Surveillance and Tracking (SST), Space Weather (SWE) and Space Intelligence and Information (SI2).
The Space Domain Awareness System Architect will provide specialized engineering expertise in the frame of SDA End to End systems and components, in terms of analyses and design.
The ideal candidate is passionate about creating well-architected system and solutions. He/She will work closely with our teams to support the release of SDA products and perform System
/ Subsystem specification, design and performance assessment with the aim at delivering real valuable solutions to our customers.
Candidate must be able to work collaboratively in a team environment, yet independently able to identify and propose technical solutions.
