AAC Clyde Space ’s Post

I applied for a job. I was told that they didn’t hire people without a degree. I have 45 years of experience in the space industry. When I was starting out there were no relevant degrees around Space and Space engineering, indeed the UK had one flying satellite which was not accepting commands. I have experience on ground stations around the world, I have worked on LEO, GEO, MEO and deep space. I have worked on building satellites, the bus and lots of different technologies for payloads, scientific, communications, cube sats. I am a translator of requirements from the engineering to the implementation into manufacture, assembly, integration and testing. I am a facilitator in creating understanding from different groups of people who often talk at cross purposes. I use my experience to seek out and evaluate project, engineering, MAIT and operational risks, highlighting them and proposing mitigation actions. My generation are retiring, the experience is being lost. The skills shortage is acute, people are more and more risk averse proposing the application of standards to the letter, pushing risk into SMEs who don’t understand the costs associated with what they are getting into……... But none of this counts for anything, because I don’t have a degree!

🛰️ From Concept to Cosmos: The Journey of a Satellite's Creation 🌌 Have you ever wondered how those marvels of engineering orbiting our planet are brought to life? The satellite manufacturing process is a complex yet fascinating journey, involving a series of meticulous steps. Let's take a simplified look at the key stages involved: 1️⃣ Design and Engineering: * This crucial phase involves defining the satellite's mission, requirements, and specifications. * Engineers design the satellite's structure, subsystems (power, thermal control, propulsion, etc.), and payload (communication antennas, sensors, etc.). * Rigorous simulations and analyses are conducted to ensure the design's feasibility and performance. 2️⃣ Component Procurement and Fabrication: * Once the design is finalized, individual components are sourced or custom-built. * This includes everything from solar panels and batteries to onboard computers and communication antennas. * Quality control is paramount to ensure each component meets stringent space-grade standards. 3️⃣ Assembly, Integration, and Testing (AIT): * Components are carefully assembled and integrated into the satellite's structure. * Extensive testing is performed to verify functionality, performance, and resilience to the harsh space environment. * This includes thermal vacuum tests, vibration tests, and electromagnetic compatibility tests. 4️⃣ Launch Preparation and Deployment: * The completed satellite is transported to the launch site and integrated with the launch vehicle. * Final checks and preparations are made before the launch. * The satellite is deployed into its designated orbit, marking the beginning of its mission. 5️⃣ In-Orbit Testing and Commissioning: * Once in orbit, further tests are conducted to ensure all systems are functioning as expected. * The satellite is gradually brought into full operational mode. Creating a satellite is a collaborative effort involving engineers, technicians, scientists, and project managers. Each step demands precision, innovation, and a deep understanding of space technology. Which stage of the satellite manufacturing process do you find most interesting?  #satellite #manufacturing #space #engineering #technology #innovation

We are #hiring. We have a unique #postdoc #position in #signalprocessing for #distributed #radar. Background: A Ph.D. degree in a field related to #signal #processing or #communications, preferably connected to the #multiantenna #signal. In this position, you will perform research on signal processing for emerging #radar systems, particularly for novel radars where the receivers and #transmitters are geographically #distributed. Previous first-author publication experience in IEEE journals is mandatory. Chalmers University of Technology and Saab together are pooling resources to develop the ultimate radar system for the future! More information: https://lnkd.in/dNJA4Pcy Deadline: 2024-03-15.

We are #hiring. We have a unique #phd #position #in #signalprocessing for #communications. Background: Applicants should have, or expect to receive, a Master of Science or equivalent in a field related to #signal #processing or #communications, preferably connected to #multiantenna #signals. In this position, you will perform research on signal processing for emerging #radar- and #communication #systems with many antennas (#MIMO). At the start, the focus will be on the case when there is a strong #interfering signal that tends to overshadow the desired receive signal, and by #modeling #interferer and #physical #environment, and by #smart #receiver side #algorithms, we will find the best solution.
