Nano-Satellite Trainer

Job Overview

We are seeking an experienced nano-satellite Engineer with at least three years of professional hands-on experience in nano-satellite design, development, and deployment. The successful candidate will leverage their technical expertise to conduct training programs in nano-satellite engineering for undergraduates, young professionals and youths. This role involves both technical development and educational outreach, ensuring participants gain practical skills in satellite design, assembly, and operation.

Key Responsibilities

Training Program Development and Delivery

1. Design and deliver comprehensive training programs on nano-satellite building, covering topics such as

- Systems engineering

- Subsystems (power, communication, attitude control, etc.)

- Payload integration

- Satellite testing and deployment protocols

2. Develop instructional materials, including manuals, presentations, and hands-on projects, to suit various audience levels (youth, professionals, and educators).

3. Conduct hands-on workshops and labs, guiding participants through real-world nano-satellite assembly and testing activities

4. Collaborate with academic institutions, industry partners, and space agencies to expand training opportunities and resources.

5. Other Topics outside of Nano-Satellite Engineering that would be good to cover:

- Space mission design and planning

- Principles of Space Engineering and Applications

- Project Management in Space

Evaluation and Continuous Improvement

1. Evaluate training program outcomes through feedback, assessments, and participant performance.

2. Continuously update training content to reflect advances in nano-satellite technology and industry trends.

3. Provide mentorship to participants during and after training programs to support their career or project goals.
