ARGOTEC
To support the development of next-generation Earth Observation missions, we are looking for a SAR End-to-End Systems Engineer who will drive the design and development of end-to-end SAR-based remote sensing systems, from spaceborne payload definition to ground segment, data processing, and final information products.
DUTIES
As a SAR End-to-End Systems Engineer you will be responsible for the end-to-end architecture and performance of SAR remote sensing systems.
Your activities will include (but are not limited to):
- Define and maintain the end-to-end architecture of SAR remote sensing systems, including space segment, ground segment, and data processing chain;
- Translate mission objectives and user needs into system-level requirements, ensuring traceability across payload, platform, ground, and downstream elements;
- Lead the definition of SAR payload concepts in coordination with payload and systems engineering teams;
- Drive system-level trade-offs involving SAR performance, orbit, revisit time, data volume, onboard processing, and ground processing capabilities;
- Perform and oversee end-to-end performance analyses (e.g. resolution, swath, NESZ, coverage, latency, product quality);
- Ensure consistency between SAR payload design choices and downstream processing, calibration, and product generation;
- Support the preparation and execution of system and payload technical reviews (SRR, PDR, CDR, TRR, QR);
- Coordinate with internal teams (Systems Engineering, Payload, AIT, Ground Segment, Operations) and external partners;
- Contribute to in‑orbit commissioning, calibration, and validation strategies;
- Support the definition of SAR data products, processing levels, and performance KPIs.
GENERAL REQUIREMENTS
- Master’s Degree in Aerospace Engineering, Telecommunications Engineering, Electronic Engineering, or related technical fields;
- Minimum of 5 years of experience in SAR systems, Earth Observation missions, or remote sensing system engineering;
- Proven experience in complex space systems development;
- Strong system-level thinking and analytical mindset;
- Hands‑on, proactive, and results‑driven approach;
- Excellent communication skills and ability to collaborate with cross‑functional and multidisciplinary teams;
- Excellent written and oral communication in English.
REQUIRED EXPERIENCE & SKILLS
- Solid background in Synthetic Aperture Radar principles and spaceborne SAR systems;
- Experience in end-to-end SAR system design, including payload, mission, and downstream aspects;
- Knowledge of SAR performance drivers and metrics (resolution, swath, NESZ, ambiguities, radiometric accuracy, coverage, latency);
- Familiarity with SAR data processing chains and product generation (e.g. focusing, calibration, geocoding);
- Experience with requirements management, system budgets, and interface definition;
- Understanding of Ground Segment architecture for EO missions (data reception, processing, archiving, distribution);
- Knowledge of space engineering standards (ECSS, MIL, NASA STD);
- Ability to communicate system‑level concepts clearly to technical and non‑technical stakeholders.
ADDITIONAL ASSETS
- Experience with SAR missions for small satellites or constellations;
- Knowledge of onboard SAR processing and data compression techniques;
- Experience with EO product definition and user‑driven mission design;
- Familiarity with calibration/validation strategies for SAR missions;
- Experience with engineering and collaboration tools (e.g. Jira, Confluence).
