The Role:
The role of a Systems Engineer here at MDA is quite dynamic and varying. From the possibility of writing a proposal in response to an RFP, to working out the costing for a new program, to testing hardware in the lab, no two tasks, assignments, or days are ever quite the same. However each of these tasks all lead back to the one of the most core functions of a Systems Engineer: to plan, develop, and build the design, including the design requirements, of the actual system, without which there would be no program! Our team of Systems Engineers are therefore some of the most intelligent and personable people, always willing to lend a hand where they can and answer any questions customers, management, or indeed other team members may have. It's easy to define our culture as one of collaboration, teamwork, and innovation. All this allows us to be at the forefront of some of the most exciting space programs in Canada!
