Today ClearSpace has assembled an expert engineering team and is leading the way toward sustainable space operations. From a garage in Switzerland, we now operate across UK and Europe, and are working with world-leading institutions and companies to bring our dream of a sustainable space ecosystem to life.\nWe are looking for an AIV Engineer to join our Switzerland office who will work on both our current missions and future projects.\nRole Purpose/Summary\nClearSpace is looking for a passionate and driven individual to join our Assembly, Integration and Validation (AIV) team and contribute to the building of a sustainable space.\nYour mission will be to cover all the steps of the spacecraft verification and validation process, from the building of the test environment to the testing of the spacecraft flight model.\nThis is a dream role for space and tech enthusiasts, eager to grow their expertise in spacecraft systems, and put their creativity to work to develop whatever is needed to make a spacecraft project succeed.\nRole Responsibilities\nYou will play a key role in the end-to-end spacecraft integration and testing process, working across all the subsystems. This role requires diving into a variety of activities --expect plenty of software development, alongside tasks ranging from designing and architecting spacecraft digital twins, hands-on electrical integration with shiny satellite hardware and development of innovative test environments and test strategies. Responsibilities include:\nParticipate in the design, development, delivery and maintenance of the test benches and test environments with the AIV team.\nCollaborate closely with the system team to define the test strategy and design the test environment to fully support it.\nActively contribute to the test development and the execution, troubleshooting issues at the software level, hardware interface level, and across all the communication layers.\nDrive continuous improvement in the testing process from test design, implementation and result analysis, to continuous execution and delivery.\nMust have\nYou bring a strong background in software development, with expertise in both software craftsmanship and software development methods and practices (reliable software development, DevOps).\nYou have solid experience in hardware/software integration, including:\nIntegration of embedded or flight software with hardware platforms (e.g. boards, sensors, actuators, communication interfaces)\nDebugging and troubleshooting at system level (interfaces, protocols, timing, performance)\nFamiliarity with integration environments such as FlatSat, test benches, or equivalent setups\nUnderstanding of low-level interfaces (e.g. CAN, SpaceWire, UART, SPI, Ethernet) and their impact on system behaviour\nYou must be able to think out of the box to propose innovate designs, while maintaining rigor and discipline to deliver the implementation on time with the required quality, ensuring seamless integration with the downstream activities and project timelines.\nYou must be agile, flexible and eager to learn, to be able to work with multiple, diverse, geographically distributed teams.\nNice to have\nExperience in the aerospace domain, or another domain involving complex, safety-critical systems is desirable\nInformation about our data processing is set out in our candidate data privacy
