About the Role

We are seeking an experienced

Model-Based Systems Engineer (MBSE)

to support the development of advanced satellite systems through modern digital engineering practices. In this role, you will develop and maintain system architectures, create model-based engineering artifacts, and ensure end-to-end requirements traceability while supporting spacecraft commissioning and operations during the

Launch and Early Orbit Phase (LEOP)

. The ideal candidate has a strong background in satellite systems engineering, MBSE methodologies, and mission operations, with the ability to collaborate across multidisciplinary engineering teams.

Key Responsibilities

Develop and maintain system architectures using

Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE)

• methodologies.
• Create and manage

SysML

models using

Cameo Systems Modeler

• .
• Perform functional decomposition and maintain end-to-end requirements traceability.
• Support digital engineering initiatives throughout the system development lifecycle.
• Develop and maintain

Concept of Operations (CONOPS)

• documentation and system behavior models.
• Support spacecraft commissioning and

Launch and Early Orbit Phase (LEOP)

• activities.
• Collaborate with systems, software, hardware, integration, and operations teams to ensure mission readiness.
• Participate in architecture reviews, engineering trade studies, and technical design reviews.
• Support systems integration, verification, validation, and operational readiness activities.
• Prepare engineering documentation and communicate technical recommendations to stakeholders.

Required Qualifications

What We're Looking For

We're looking for an exceptional

Model-Based Systems Engineer

• who combines deep
• MBSE expertise
• with real-world
• satellite operations experience
• . The ideal candidate has successfully applied

SysML

and

Cameo Systems Modeler

to develop robust system architectures while supporting spacecraft commissioning and

LEOP

activities. You are a collaborative systems thinker who can translate complex mission requirements into well-structured system models and deliver practical engineering solutions across the satellite lifecycle.

Montreal-based, on-site candidates remain the preferred choice.

However,

• truly exceptional candidates
• with outstanding MBSE and satellite operations experience may be considered for a fully remote arrangement. Candidates with both

MBSE

and

LEOP

experience will be given the highest priority, as these are mandatory qualifications for the role.
