Then read on…\nWorking in our Chief Operating Office (COO)\nOur COO Teams are the engine that powers Open Cosmos’ operations. This division brings together mission management, supply chain, and quality & product assurance to make sure every mission is delivered smoothly, reliably, and to the highest standards. They turn plans into action, keeping us efficient and mission-ready at all times.\nThe AIT team is at the heart of turning ideas into real, orbit-ready satellites. They’re the workshop where Open Cosmos missions come to life - taking designs from paper to physical hardware.\nFrom assembling delicate electronic boards to fitting structural panels, wiring harnesses, and payloads, AIT ensures everything fits and functions flawlessly. They run rigorous testing - vibration, thermal vacuum, functional, and performance checks - to make sure each satellite can survive the extreme conditions of launch and space.\nIt’s hands-on, fast-paced, and mission-critical - it doesn’t get much cooler than this!\nWhat You'll Be Doing\nYou will be:\nDeveloping and executing spacecraft Assembly, Integration, and Test (AIT) plans and procedures\n\nLeading satellite integration activities including mechanical assembly, electrical integration, and subsystem validation\n\nDefining test campaigns for spacecraft and subsystems including functional, environmental, and performance testing\n\nSupporting the development and verification of electrical harnesses, payload integration, and subsystem interfaces\n\nAnalyzing test results and troubleshoot anomalies, working closely with subsystem engineers to identify root causes and implement corrective actions\n\nPreparing and maintaining AIT documentation including procedures, test reports, and configuration records\n\nEnsuring compliance with cleanroom, ESD, and quality assurance processes during all integration activities\n\nSupporting environmental testing campaigns such as vibration, thermal vacuum, and functional validation\n\nContributing to satellite launch campaign preparation, including final functional verification and integration into deployers or launch adapters\n\nSupporting continuous improvement of AIT processes, tooling, and documentation to improve efficiency and quality\n\nWhat You’ll Bring\nStrong understanding of spacecraft systems and subsystem integration\n\nAbility to develop and execute integration and test procedures\n\nKnowledge of electrical and mechanical spacecraft interfaces including harnessing and subsystem integration\n\nFamiliarity with laboratory test equipment such as oscilloscopes, power supplies, multimeters, and data acquisition systems\n\nAbility to interpret system schematics, interface control documents (ICDs), and engineering drawings\n\nAbility to analyse test results and resolve integration or system anomalies\n\nStrong documentation and configuration management practices\n\nUnderstanding of environmental testing processes including vibration and thermal vacuum testing\n\nThis role will be based onsite in Athens, Greece.\nTo apply, you must have the legal right to work in this location.\nWhen applying, please submit your CV in English.\nWhy Open Cosmos?\nWork at the cutting edge of space technology with customers around the globe\n\nA mission-driven company making space accessible to help solve real-world challenges\n\nA diverse, ambitious, and supportive team\n\nEqual opportunity employer\nAt Open Cosmos, we are dedicated to fostering a workplace built on respect, dignity, and belonging. As an equal opportunity employer, we actively challenge bias to ensure every candidate and employee feels truly welcome. We celebrate diversity in all its forms and are committed to maintaining an inclusive environment where everyone has the opportunity to thrive.","description_format":"text","description_chars":3957,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"Greece","iso":"GR","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Satellite Manufacturing","Earth Observation","Space Services"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-07T10:27:17Z"}],"liveness":{"score":38,"band":"fade","label":"Fading","p_open":1,"p_active":0.637,"p_room":0.6,"age_days":127,"expected_fill_days":137,"reasons":["conf:4","win:late","crowd:"],"computed_at":"2026-09-27T05:45:00Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/open-cosmos-ait-engineer","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/open-cosmos-ait-engineer.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-09-28T01:51:09Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","usage":{"tier":"crawler","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":1024,"day_limit":5000,"remaining_today":3976,"minute_limit":60,"resets_at":"2026-09-29T00:00:00Z"}}}
