Systems & Control Engineer

About Pangea Aerospace: We are a company dedicated to developing advanced propulsion systems for the space industry based on three key principles: high efficiency, sustainability, and reusability. We are revolutionizing the space industry with groundbreaking innovations that allow us to offer the best performance to cost propulsion systems. Our goal is to be the propulsion provider for the next-generation of spacecraft, which are essential to meet the demands and compete in the booming space market of the next decade. We are a passionate, multicultural, and multidisciplinary team pushing the boundaries of what is possible in space propulsion technology. We have already made history by successfully testing the world's first 3D printed Methalox Aerospike engine, marking a significant milestone for the space industry. We are looking for talented professionals to join our international team in Barcelona and Toulouse. We want to be a key player in improving diversity in the Aerospace sector as, in Pangea, we believe that diversity (gender, age, race, sexual orientation, beliefs, disability, culture, etc.) is a key to success. Within Pangea, everyone can grow with the same opportunities. We encourage you to apply. Individually we are different, but together we are an amazing team! We are looking for a Systems & Control Engineer in Toulouse:About your job: In the Systems Department, your role will involve defining, analysing, and interfacing systems and subsystems, with a focus on Control Engineering. You will support the definition and analysis of concepts of operations (CONOPS), requirements (e.g. functional, RAMS, performance, etc.), system models, and system parameters, as well as perform trade-offs, set constraints, and develop conceptual designs. Collaboration with other departments will be crucial to define subsystem and component requirements, and you will assist other departments in defining their requirements. Experience with ECSS standards is expected. You will work closely with all departments and disciplines within Pangea to maintain a holistic view of the entire system. You should be comfortable working with large teams and independently initiating contact to gather necessary inputs from internal and external colleagues. Ideally, your knowledge should be broad in systems engineering, rocketry, and rocket propulsion, with a strong emphasis on control engineering (e.g. closed/open loop control, transfer functions, stability margins, etc.), as this would be your specialty within the systems engineering group. Your main role might to a large degree involve work outside the scope of control engineering; however, you should have a solid understanding of control engineering to be able to confidently evaluate systems from this perspective if needed.Your responsibilities will include: Defining system and subsystem requirements Creating comprehensive CONOPS documents Developing high-level conceptual designs, architectures, and block diagrams Tracking system parameters and budgets Ensuring requirement compliance and verification Supporting documentation and knowledge management processes Modeling and evaluating the system's performance from a control engineering perspective, including control loops, sensors, actuators, and defining control performance requirements Supporting early-stage developments of next-generation rocket engines for both internal projects and collaborations with external partners such as the European Space AgencyWhat you need to be successful: Master’s degree in aerospace engineering, control engineering, or related fields A few years’ experience in systems engineering and/or control engineering Experience working with systems engineering Some experience working with ECSS standards Well-rounded understanding of the relevant disciplines in the field of rocket propulsion Good understanding and knowledge of control engineering Programming skills in MATLAB, as well as experience using Simulink or the MATLAB Control Toolbox, is highly beneficialOther useful skills: Hands-on and in-depth experience with development of rocket engines or launch vehicles Experience in the use of Collaborative Engineering tools (i.e. Valispace, CDP4, OCDT) Capable of working in a flexible and open-minded environment Start-up mindset Creative and with experience in overcoming failure Professional level mastery of French is meritorious Not hitting every requirement? Research suggests that some people tend to hesitate when it comes to job applications if they don't meet all the desired qualifications. Here at Pangea Aerospace, we're committed to fostering a workplace that values diversity, inclusivity, and authenticity. So, if you're enthusiastic about this role but your prior experience doesn't align perfectly with every qualification mentioned in the job description, we still strongly encourage you to apply. You might just be the ideal candidate for this position or other opportunities within our organization.More about us… We are an international and very multicultural team.
