Description

MDA Space is a pioneer in satellite systems and geointelligence, with a history of over 450 missions. We are looking for an engineering student to support our EGSE and Test Data Processing team.

We’re hiring a motivated, talented student for a 4‑month role (possible extension to 8 months) starting September 2026. The role is similar to a new graduate position, with tasks aligned to your level of schooling and experience.

Role

Under the supervision of the team, you will develop test data processing software in Windows, using Python, for the automation of satellite electronic equipment tests. Interaction with multidisciplinary teams and understanding of hardware measurements (network analyzer, spectrum analyzer, oscilloscopes) are required.

Responsibilities

• Create and modify data‑processing scripts that automate pass/fail criteria and report generation for complex satellite payloads.
• Develop and integrate test‑data automation solutions for high‑volume production of flight hardware.
• Design, code, test, debug, and document high‑quality software.
• Participate in integration, testing, and deployment of test‑data processing.
• Assist in troubleshooting problems in a software production environment.
• Prepare required documentation.

Qualifications

• Minimum of 5 semesters completed of an engineering degree and interest in electronics testing and integration.
• Ability to work with an existing code base or framework.
• Knowledge of electronics and associated test equipment; experience in radiofrequency (RF) measurement is an asset.
• Experience with Excel.
• Demonstrated academic performance (good general average).
• Experience in an electronics lab with test equipment is an asset.
• Good verbal and written communication skills in English and French (contact with customers outside Quebec).
• The ideal candidate is multidisciplinary, proactive, enthusiastic, and result‑oriented.

Comments/Special Considerations

Successful candidates must obtain and pass security assessment for the Controlled Goods Program (CGP).
