Electrical Propulsion Systems Engineer

Design electric propulsion subsystems for MDA Space satellites in Sainte-Anne-de-Bellevue, using electrical power, thermal, and mission-performance analysis.

As a Satellite Electrical Propulsion System Engineer, you will define, design, integrate, and verify EP subsystems for remote sensing and communications satellites. Your work covers thrusters, power-processing units, propellant feed systems, control electronics, and health monitoring. You may serve as technical authority across multiple programs while coordinating requirements, interfaces, testing, and operations support.

Key Responsibilities:

• Translate mission goals into electric propulsion system requirements
• Analyze power, thermal, mass, reliability, and contamination budgets
• Define thruster, PPU, feed-system, and control interfaces
• Develop verification plans, test matrices, and validation procedures
• Oversee hardware-in-the-loop and thrust-stand testing

Requirements:

• Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering, Aerospace, or Physics
• 10+ years of electrical propulsion experience on LEO/MEO platforms
• Knowledge of EP thruster families and performance characteristics
• Experience designing propellant storage and feed systems
• English communication skills and French considered an asset

Apply electrical propulsion, systems engineering, and verification expertise to MDA Space satellite missions in Sainte-Anne-de-Bellevue.
