You’ll take the lead in turning satellite concepts into real spacecrafts — from first sketches and trade-offs to final integration and launch readiness.
You’ll connect all engineering disciplines, guide decisions that shape the mission, and make sure the system works flawlessly as one.
Your mission will include:
- Taking ownership of the complete system engineering life cycle – from concept definition to on-orbit readiness.
- Translating mission goals into clear requirements and system architecture, including interface control and verification plans.
- Coordinating subsystem teams and suppliers, ensuring clear technical communication and system-level integrity.

- Acting as a mentor and system-thinking advocate across multiple projects, helping teams design smarter, more innovative solutions.
🧠 What you bring
- Proven experience in all design phases of a spacecraft design cycle – from concept to launch.
- Solid understanding of spacecraft systems engineering and ECSS-compliant procedures also including ECSS tailoring.
- Experience with interface control, verification & validation including hands-on system-level testing.
