System Integration Senior Engineer (Platform Focus)

Job description

Here at The Exploration Company, we are developing, producing, and operating Nyx, a modular and reusable space orbital vehicle that can eventually be refuelled in orbit and that can carry cargo - and potentially humans in the longer run. The System Integration Senior Engineer will help lead the Nyx system end‑to‑end integration and verification, with a focus on functional platforms (Software in the Loop Platform, Processor in the Loop Platform, Hardware in the Loop Platform, Functional Simulation Facility). You will define and execute test plans, manage requirement traceability, analyse test results, and close verification evidence across SIL/PIL/HIL and physical test campaigns. Working closely with subsystem leads, AIT teams, and external partners, you will identify integration risks, resolve anomalies, and ensure that all mechanical functions perform safely and reliably throughout the mission profile. This position requires a rigorous systems mindset, strong understanding of mechanical behaviour in the space environment, and the ability to lead multidisciplinary verification activities to successful closure. Key Responsibilities In your capacity a System Integration Senior Engineer, your role will continuously evolve, but initially your day-to-day duties will include: Ensure the definition and implementation of the Nyx Earth system integration and verification activities, which meets technical and programmatic requirements and considers the adequacy of model philosophy, facilities availability, planning and costing. Define plans and specifications with clear Success Criteria and support the generation of test procedures with the Functional Platform team. Drive the technical discussions, preparation, organization and execution of the system verification campaigns, to ensure the closure of all system verification aspects, including nominal and off nominal spacecraft behaviors. Organise the different reviews for incremental progress and ultimate closure of verification events. Generate reports and drive the closure of the Items for Verification and Validation covered by the campaign. Collaborate with all Functional Chain responsible and engineering disciplines to prepare and perform the system activities. Process the anomalies occurring during the verification campaign in coordination with the Product Assurance Team and the rest of the Engineering Team. What…
