OverviewThales Alenia Space is seeking a TCS/ECLSS (Thermal Control System / Environmental Control and Life Support System) Architect Engineer (Senior). Specification, design and implementation of thermal and environmental support systems for complex spacecrafts. The candidate shall manage both passive and active thermal control systems, and all systems relevant to the environmental control (atmosphere control, air revitalization, temperature and humidity control, water management, fire detection and suppression). The candidate shall define the conceptual thermal and environmental control system architecture, their system and subsystem requirements and shall follow the design implementation in accordance with the requirements and the Customer needs. The candidate shall operate inside a system level core team and interface with Agencies and Customers, with strong communication skills, pro-active problem solving and team-working attitude. A solid background in thermal engineering is required to define and manage complex thermal and fluidic system design.ResponsibilitiesDefinition of specific thermal and environmental requirements derived from Customer high level onesDefinition and management of trade-offs to support architectural basic choicesDefinition of ATCS and PTCS architectureDefinition of ECLSS Architectures (Atmosphere Control System, Air Revitalization System, Temperature and Humidity Control System, Water Management System, Waste Recovery System, Fire Detection System)Sizing and design of ATCS and PTCS and ECLSS considering manufacturability and integration constraintsPreparation of Procurement Specifications for ATCS, PTCS, ECLSS, in collaboration with Thermal Design DepartmentTechnical follow-on of ATCS/PTCS/ECLSS procurement up to delivery (Subcontractor management), in collaboration with Thermal Design DepartmentEngineering support to development and qualification of manufacturing processes for ATCS/PTCS/ECLSS hardwareSupport to hardware integration and final testingSupport for thermal aspects to thermal vacuum tests and preparation of Specifications for thermal balance tests, support definition of Hydraulic and Environmental testsSupport to Quality Assurance for discussion and disposition of NCRs during manufacturing, integration and testing activitiesQualificationsMaster degree in Engineering (Aerospace, Thermal, Nuclear, Energetic)Previous work experience in the requested discipline and field (Space) is very appreciatedAbility and experience in managing Subcontractors from both a technical and programmatic point of viewAbility to lead a technical teamKnowledge of Thermal Control and Fluidic Control main requirements and relevant solutions for Space Station manned modules, Satellites and re-entry vehiclesKnowledge of materials, manufacturing processes and techniques relevant to ATCS/PTCS/ECLSS constituentsKnowledge of Codes (ESATAN TMS, Thermal Desktop) for thermal analysisGood attitude towards teaming and multi-disciplinary approachesAvailable to work in shifts if requested by the ProgramGood attitude towards analysis, synthesis and problem solvingExcellent knowledge of English language (spoken and written)
