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.\nDUTIES\nAs a SAR End-to-End Systems Engineer you will be responsible for the end-to-end architecture and performance of SAR remote sensing systems.\nYour activities will include (but are not limited to):\nDefine and maintain the end-to-end architecture of SAR remote sensing systems, including space segment, ground segment, and data processing chain;\nTranslate mission objectives and user needs into system-level requirements, ensuring traceability across payload, platform, ground, and downstream elements;\nLead the definition of SAR payload concepts in coordination with payload and systems engineering teams;\nDrive system-level trade-offs involving SAR performance, orbit, revisit time, data volume, onboard processing, and ground processing capabilities;\nPerform and oversee end-to-end performance analyses (e.g. resolution, swath, NESZ, coverage, latency, product quality);\nEnsure consistency between SAR payload design choices and downstream processing, calibration, and product generation;\nSupport the preparation and execution of system and payload technical reviews (SRR, PDR, CDR, TRR, QR);\nCoordinate with internal teams (Systems Engineering, Payload, AIT, Ground Segment, Operations) and external partners;\nContribute to in-orbit commissioning, calibration, and validation strategies;\nSupport the definition of SAR data products, processing levels, and performance KPIs.\nGENERAL REQUIREMENTS\nMaster’s Degree in Aerospace Engineering, Telecommunications Engineering, Electronic Engineering, or related technical fields;\nMinimum of 5 years of experience in SAR systems, Earth Observation missions, or remote sensing system engineering;\nProven experience in complex space systems development;\nStrong system-level thinking and analytical mindset;\nHands-on, proactive, and results-driven approach;\nExcellent communication skills and ability to collaborate with cross-functional and multidisciplinary teams;\nExcellent written and oral communication in English.\nREQUIRED EXPERIENCE & SKILLS\nSolid background in Synthetic Aperture Radar principles and spaceborne SAR systems;\nExperience in end-to-end SAR system design, including payload, mission, and downstream aspects;\nKnowledge of SAR performance drivers and metrics (resolution, swath, NESZ, ambiguities, radiometric accuracy, coverage, latency);\nFamiliarity with SAR data processing chains and product generation (e.g. focusing, calibration, geocoding);\nExperience with requirements management, system budgets, and interface definition;\nUnderstanding of Ground Segment architecture for EO missions (data reception, processing, archiving, distribution);\nKnowledge of space engineering standards (ECSS, MIL, NASA STD);\nAbility to communicate system-level concepts clearly to technical and non-technical stakeholders.\nADDITIONAL ASSETS\nExperience with SAR missions for small satellites or constellations;\nKnowledge of onboard SAR processing and data compression techniques;\nExperience with EO product definition and user-driven mission design;\nFamiliarity with calibration/validation strategies for SAR missions;\nExperience with engineering and collaboration tools (e.g. Jira, Confluence).\nWHY JOIN ARGOTEC?\nOpportunity to work with highly motivated colleagues in a very innovative environment.\nProfessional training and career development opportunities.\nFlexible working time schedule and a hybrid work policy.\nMonthly \"Free-Day\" - every second Friday: time off to dedicate to your family and/or hobbies.\nA diversified community that organizes extra-work and fun activities.\nSALARY RANGE:\n40.000 - 50.000 EUR\nArgotec reserves the right to assess the appropriate job level and compensation package based on objective criteria emerging throughout the selection process.
