ABOUT US

Backed by a legacy of engineering excellence, reliability and industry-leading customer service, Telesat has grown to be one of the largest and most successful global satellite operators.

Telesat works collaboratively with its customers to deliver critical connectivity solutions that tackle the world's most complex communications challenges, providing powerful advantages that improve their operations and drive growth.

Telesat LEO, our Low Earth Orbit network scheduled to begin service in 2022, will revolutionize global broadband connectivity by delivering a combination of high capacity, security, resiliency and affordability with ultra-low latency and fiber-like speeds.

Privately held and headquartered in downtown Ottawa, with offices and facilities around the world, Telesat's principal shareholders are Canada's Public Sector Pension Investment Board and Loral Space & Communications Inc. (NASDAQ: LORL). For more information, visit www.telesat.com.

The Satellite Communications System Engineer will work in collaboration with the different engineering teams within the Telesat LEO program to develop and maintain System level requirement documents to ensure proper flow down of requirements through the different segments of the system. In addition, the resource will assess system level performance of satellite links into user terminals and derive associated throughput performance using Link budget analysis tools based on Matlab or other script programing language.

HOW YOU WILL CONTRIBUTE

• Interface with Product Management to review new or evolving customer requirements and validate compatibility with the system requirements.
• Document proposed changes required to the system requirements and associated flow down so that changes can be reviewed by the Change Control Board
• Work in collaboration with the Verification and Validation group to plan proper validation of the requirements to ensure appropriate system performance.
• Participate to design review with suppliers.
• Review documentation developed and validate compliance to system requirements. Develop Matlab (or other script language) tools to conduct detailed performance analysis of the system performance in terms of data throughput, latency, satellite hand-over performance, availability based on equipment performance specifications.
