Software Engineer
Designs and develops on-board flight software and ground test software for satellite payloads at a space technology company. Day-to-day work involves Python and C/C++ development on Linux, formal development, test and integration processes, and thorough documentation, delivering payload software for space exploration and communications missions.
Engineering Student - FPGA Verification - Winter 2027
A 4-month (possibly 8-month) engineering student internship starting January 2027 in MDA Space's FPGA department in Sainte-Anne-de-Bellevue. The student verifies FPGAs for space applications (robotics, radar imagery, command & control, telecom, DSP) by building SystemVerilog/VHDL test benches using UVM, writing test cases, and supporting lab testing.
Engineering Student - FPGA Designer - Winter 2027
A 4-month (possibly 8-month) winter 2027 engineering internship in MDA Space's FPGA department in Sainte-Anne-de-Bellevue. The student develops VHDL modules for space applications (robotics, radar imagery, telecom, DSP), supports functional verification and lab testing, and contributes to documentation and FPGA dev infrastructure.
Payload Systems Architect
MDA Space's UK team seeks a Payload Systems Architect to design, integrate and test future satellite communications payloads for LEO, GEO and Lunar missions — leading system-level RF/physical-layer architecture, requirements, trade studies and standards engagement. Requires 10+ years in communications systems engineering.
Junior EGSE and Test Engineer
A junior engineer role on MDA Space's Satellite Systems team: designing electrical ground support equipment (EGSE), cable harnesses, and PCBs, and supporting testing of satellite electronic units at the Sainte-Anne-de-Bellevue (Montreal) office. Core stack: electrical/electronic design, PCB CAD (Diptrace), Python/VBA.
EGSE and Test Engineer
Develops electrical ground support equipment (EGSE) and supports testing of satellite electronic units at MDA Space in Sainte-Anne-de-Bellevue — designing test hardware and cable harnesses, producing design documentation, and writing test procedures. Core skills: electrical/electronic design and PCB design.
Power Electronics PCB Designer
Designs power electronics PCBs for satellites and space-based systems at MDA Space — motor drive units, DC power, telemetry, and control circuits. Daily work includes schematic capture, layout, simulation (LTSpice/BoardSim), worst-case analysis, FMECA, and lab debugging/testing of high-frequency power supplies.
