We’re on the hunt for a Mission Systems & Operations Engineer or Member of Technical Staff (MTS) on our Robotics & Space Operations team at our Brampton office. With 40 years of operational experience and proven performance on the iconic Canadarm programs including Space Shuttle and International Space Station robotics and operations support, our Robotics & Space Operations team has 100% mission success in making space dreams come true. We have combined complex robotics with control software to develop mission critical robotic systems such as the Mobile Servicing System (MSS) for the International Space Station (ISS) and, previously, the robotic arms for the Space Shuttle. The MSS serves a vital role in keeping the ISS operational through continuous robotic operations to maintain and repair the space station, enable resupply missions and support a host of daily ISS operations. Today, MDA is developing sophisticated systems for new projects such as an artificial intelligence‑enabled robotic system known as Gateway External Robotics System (GERS) – to assemble and maintain a lunar staging outpost orbiting the moon enabling future exploration missions, human lunar landings, missions to explore Mars and on‑orbit servicing of satellites.

As our Mission Systems & Operations Engineer or Member of Technical Staff (MTS), you will have the opportunity to undertake a variety of exciting and diverse set of engineering challenges on our International Space Station and Gateway External Robotics System (GERS) program.
