ppFounded in 2006, AVS Added Value Solutions is a leading high-tech engineering company with 20 years of experience delivering complex, pivotal projects across Fusion Energy, Scientific Innovation, Particle Accelerators, and Space. /p pOur track record includes three proprietary LUR-family satellites currently in orbit, which have successfully demonstrated the maturity of our platform architecture, subsystems, and LEO operations. Building on this flight heritage, we leverage our modular LUR-100 platform to support demanding institutional missions, including the ESA ARRAKIHS project and the development of the Canary Islands Satellite Constellation (Constelación Canaria). /p pTo drive these ambitious initiatives forward, we are currently scaling our Space Division to advance our SmallSat capabilities. /p h3About the Role /h3 pAs a System Architect, you will serve as the formal Design Authority for the mission-level technical decisions that power our spacecraft missions and ground segment infrastructure. You will bridge mission-level goals and technical execution, leading the end-to-end lifecycle of our SmallSat platforms. Beyond technical leadership, you will play a central role in strategic decisions, acting as the technical conscience of our missions to ensure high-reliability standards while defining the future of our modular satellite platforms and supporting our growth across the space and science sectors. /p h3Key Responsibilities /h3 ul liLead the technical aspects of proposal generation, contract negotiations, and risk management (FMEA/FDIR), acting as the primary arbiter for mission-critical trade-offs.



/li liAct as the formal Design Authority for all mission-level technical decisions, maintaining the Verification Control Document (VCD) baseline throughout the mission lifecycle. /li liEstablish and evolve the system technical baseline from early definition through to launch, managing changes, anomalies, and non-conformances through formal configuration control. /li liOrchestrate technical interdependencies across the entire mission ecosystem (Space, Ground, Launch, and User Segments), ensuring seamless interface compatibility and data flow. /li liOwn the creation and maintenance of mission-level technical interface documentation, spacecraft user manuals, and technical specifications, ensuring full alignment with flight procedures. /li liOversee requirement verification and coordinate AIT, AIV, and qualification activities at both system and subsystem levels, including launch campaign support. /li /ul h3What We Are Looking For /h3 ul liComfortable operating in a lean, fast-paced SME or compact team environment where resourcefulness, pragmatism, and hands-on problem-solving are essential. /li liProven track record of acting as a formal Technical/Design Authority with accountability for high-stakes mission-level outcomes.



/li liExpert-level configuration management; you are comfortable managing the evolution of the technical baseline and tracking all changes/deviations through formal processes. /li liExperience in concurrent engineering methodologies and Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) to accelerate cross-disciplinary decision-making. /li liProficiency in established platforms (e.g., Jira, Confluence, Epsilon 3, Valispace) combined with the ability to develop internal analysis tools and automated scripts. /li liIdeally 8+ years of relevant experience, with a proven record of at least 4 years specifically as a System Architect or Lead Systems Engineer in SmallSat or complex space missions. /li liIn-depth knowledge or practical experience in two or more of the following: Avionics, FDIR, or Electrical Power Systems (EPS). /li liComfortable interacting directly with customers (institutional and commercial), with advanced communication skills in English; fluency in Spanish is a strong asset. /li liUniversity degree in Aerospace Engineering or a related technical discipline. /li /ul h3We Offer /h3 ul liWe can hire talent based in either Spain (our primary location) or the UK. /li liYou will enjoy a flexible hybrid working setup from your local country, collaborating closely with our international teams across borders. /li liWe support a healthy lifestyle with versátil working hours and opportunities for temporary mobile work abroad. /li liA welcoming onboarding process designed to set you up for success, including the assignment of a dedicated "buddy" during your first few months. /li /ul /p #J-18808-Ljbffr
