Kayser Space, recently established in the UK, brings a 30year heritage in science payloads and subsystems built up by parent company Kayser Italia, a leading supplier of experimental hardware for the International Space Station, specialising in space electronics and life science experiments in microgravity environments. Kayser is building a technology portfolio in the UK and has a long history of working with universities to bring innovations from the research laboratory into space applications. Kayser Space is currently expanding its team to work on ESA funded projects related to hardware development for life science experiments on board the International Space Station. The company is also involved in a range of other microgravity experiments, space technology development and the translation of space hardware and knowhow to other sectors, particularly within the life sciences remit. Key Tasks Responsibilities Reporting to the Programme Manager Technical Lead the Electronics Project Engineer has main duties and responsibilities that include Definition and analysis of derived requirements applicable to electronics and EGSE subsystems from higher level user and system requirements. In the absence of clearly defined specifications, be able to understand the underlying goals in order to proposeclarify equipment requirements. Undertake the specification, design, implementation and integration of electronics subsystems for experimental hardware, together with any related software and interfaces, in line with space engineering standards and practices. Ability to tradeoff design and technical options and component selection to establish the right solution and where applicable procurement method, e.g. make or buy. Oversee manufacture procurement of EGSE and test systems undertake test and requirements verification activities. Manage delivery of allocated work packages including associated documentation according to standard space engineering practices. Liaise with wider team electronics, software, mechanical design, space systems engineers and scientists, customers, subcontractors and external suppliers on technical matters relating to design, implementation, test and any related systems engineering issues. Provide support in relevant aspects of bidding activities. Essential Skills Experience Qualified to BSc level in Engineering, Physics or equivalent. Experience of analogue electronic circuit design and PCB design. Knowledge in the design, analysis, integration and test of space flight hardware. Knowledge of RadHard components and dosimetry. Familiarity with systems and electronicslevel requirements capture, analysis and verification techniques. Experience in design of rackmounted electrical test benches or control and monitoring systems. Proven ability to work independently and use own initiative to identify, clarify and agree scope of tasks, including required documentation output. Desirable Skills Experience Postgraduate qualifications to MSc or PhD. At least 2year project experience in the space sector or space projects. Knowledge of RadHard components and dosimetry. Knowledge of digital electronics design, FPGA programming. Knowledge of ECSS and quality and safety aspects. Experience of developing test or simulation solutions using LabView. Right to work in the UK. This role is based in Harwell and will require full time attendance at our offices. There will be the opportunity for some occasional international travel to client sites, especially within Europe. The expectation is for the electronics Project Engineer to gain experience through involvement in a variety of projects and technical tasks, as well as commercial exposure to the space industry, to become a Space Electronics Lead Designer or evolve into a Systems Level Engineer. Starting salaries depend on the current level of expertise and experience
