As the SME, you will work and challenge external contractors on technical matters. Together with the team, you will assist with reliability analysis including simulations and design choices with supporting space qualification activities such as bus selection and components. You will also assist with program management and B&P, including collaborating with customers on programmatic and schedule matters. Finally, you will help to support test procedures, participate in the integration, launch, and in-orbit commissioning, and be involved in preparing presentations and reports for the full development (design reviews, test activities, manufacturing, qualifications, progress review, etc.)
