Systems Engineering Architect (m/f/d) Quantum Technologies

For permanent employment OHB System AG in Oberpfaffenhofen is looking for a

Systems Engineering Architect (m/f/d) Quantum Technologies

Your Tasks

• Develop and design technical baseline solutions of satellite-based quantum technologies and systems

• for studies and technology development projects (phases 0 / A / B)
• for implementation projects (phases B / C / D / E)

• This translates into daily work with focus on

• Quantum System Architecture Definition and Justification
• Trade-offs of technical and programmatic solutions
• Coordination of related performance analysis
• Interface Definition
• Definition of Development Logic

• You will lead the engineering team effort and design trade-offs between the involved disciplines such as thermal, structural, mechanical, optical and electrical
• Further, you will act as an interface with the customer and lead technical discussions with regard to understanding the customer's requirements, their feasibility and justification that the system baseline meets the customer's requirements
• In order to turn ideas into reality, you will be working with an experienced team to:

• create and analyse technical specifications of systems and subsystems
• ensure proper allocation of budgets and maintain them up to date
• develop prototypes and carry out tests to validate the system architecture
• conduct feasibility studies and risk analyses, budgets definition

• You will participate in or lead proposal creation with focus on quantum technologies and systems, e.g. by defining the technical baseline and/or work logic

Your Qualifications

• Master/PhD in physics or mathematics, ideally with a focus on quantum optics / quantum technologies
• Strong understanding of quantum technologies and its application for industry, e.g. quantum key distribution, quantum memories, quantum sensing and entanglement as a resource
• Several years of experience in system architectures including design and implementation of secure and quantum communication systems, ideally for ground and space
• Strong solution oriented, self-managed and pro-active working style
• Passion for technology and the motivation to turn ideas into reality
• Experience in inspiring and leading small teams in technical roles
• Experience in system engineering. Experience in MBSE would be an advantage
• Working experience in space industry or space-related projects
