The company provides full relocation support, including immigration assistance, and offers a relocation bonus upon arrival in Montreal. Selected candidates may work remotely during the initial months while their immigration process is being completed; however, the long-term expectation is for the individual to transition to onsite work in Montreal once relocation has been finalized. Tasks summary: Architecture Concept & Requirements

• Gather functional, performance, pointing, environmental and security requirements from mission stakeholders & CONOPs.
• Capture, trace and map payload requirements from mission level to subsystem level
• Coordinate with cybersecurity team for payload‑specific assessments
