- Oversee the design, development, and delivery of complex satellite systems, ensuring full alignment with mission and operational requirements.
- Lead cross-functional engineering teams across a range of disciplines including RF, thermal, power systems, ADCS, avionics, optics, and mechanical engineering.
- Guide the development and implementation of satellite system architectures, including mission concepts, payload and platform integration, and full lifecycle execution through to launch and commissioning.
- Serve as a technical interface between internal departments (R&D, product, programs) and external stakeholders (OEMs, partners, regulatory bodies, space agencies).
- Ensure compliance with rigorous space, aerospace, and defense standards related to radiation hardening, thermal management, power budgeting, and link budget analysis.
- Champion the adoption of Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) practices and digital engineering tools to drive design consistency, technical rigor, and risk mitigation.
- Lead technical assessments, design audits, milestone reviews, and gate approvals across all satellite programs.
- Support strategic decision-making processes including proposals, bid reviews, and investment evaluations with accurate technical analysis and system-level inputs.
- Promote a collaborative, innovative, and quality-driven engineering culture across the organization.
- Degree in Aerospace, Electrical, Systems Engineering, or a related technical discipline; postgraduate qualifications (Master’s or Ph.D.) are strongly preferred.
- At least 15 years of experience in satellite systems engineering, with a successful track record in LEO/MEO/GEO missions and payload/platform integration.
- Experience leading large, multidisciplinary teams on major space or defense satellite programs.
- Deep technical understanding of payloads and subsystems including SAR, SIGINT, electro-optical sensors, TT&C, propulsion, onboard computers, and power systems.
- Hands-on experience in mission analysis, launch interface planning, and in-orbit commissioning.
- Exposure to UAE space initiatives or other regional/national defense or government space programs is advantageous.
- Broad expertise in space systems design, systems integration, and satellite platform development.
- Proficiency in MBSE tools and frameworks such as Cameo, SysML, STK, DOORS, and MATLAB/Simulink.
- Familiarity with space qualification testing, including thermal vacuum, vibration, and EMI/EMC testing, as well as ICD and space-grade components.
- Strong leadership capability with a track record of fostering high-performance technical teams and delivering under time and budget constraints.
- Ability to engage senior stakeholders and communicate technical strategy clearly at both executive and governmental levels.
- Strategic mindset combined with practical engineering execution and problem-solving skills.
