Electrical and EMC Engineer

A Joint Venture between Thales (67%) and Leonardo (33%), Thales Alenia Space is a global space manufacturer delivering for more than 40 years high‑tech solutions for telecommunications, navigation, Earth observation, environmental management, exploration, science and orbital infrastructures. Our diverse skills, talents and cultures enable our customers—governments, institutions, space agencies, telecommunications operators—to Space to Connect, Secure & Defend, Observe & Protect, Explore, Travel & Navigate.
We are looking for an Electrical Engineer with specific knowledge of electric motor drives and RFC analysis. In this role you will be in charge of the system Electrical & EMC design and testing activities covering the following tasks:

Assess and analyze mission System and Operational Requirement Documents, SRD / ORD.
Interface main peers, (i.e., System E2E , Avionics, Payloads..)
Implement Electrical and EMC/RFC architectures
Assess electrical I/F resources, sizing and budgets
Assess RFC issues through modeling and analysis
Implement Power architecture in simulation environments
Assess energy balance, resources sizing and justification
Lead and conduct System and S/S Electrical & EMC IVVQ
Support AIV across Product Life cycles
Support OPS team for SVTs, FOP, LEOP sims, LEOP and commissioning
Lead assessment of motor drives interfaces and performances
Assess mitigation techniques of the impinging Electric field generated by satellite antennas and equipment basing on dedicated radar absorber materials and assessed through dedicated computational solver (e.g. CST)
EMC and RFC satellite architecture definition, sizing and justification
Conducted and Radiated analysis and circuit analyses
ESD (internal bulk charging, external surface charging, discharge) analyses
Magneto static field analyses
RFC and Launch Vehicles compatibility analyses
EMC and RFC requirements specification
EMC budgeting, frequency and control plan definition
EMC corrective actions design (e.g. filtering, shielding, gasketing)
EMC design rules definition for harness
EMC testing at equipment level (setup, requirements, validation)

This is a permanent position. The primary working site is Rome, but may require travel to other locations for short mid‑term periods such as subcontractor follow‑up, attendance at external test facilities or customer premises. Short periods of 24‑hour shift work across the full week may also be required upon specific program needs.
