Lead system engineering activities throughout the complete spacecraft development lifecycle
Define, manage, and maintain system requirements
Develop spacecraft architectures, interface definitions, and technical budgets
Perform trade-off analyses and support critical technical decision-making
Coordinate activities across mechanical, electrical, software, AOCS, thermal, and payload engineering teams
Support integration, verification, validation, and qualification activities
Contribute to major project milestones including SRR, PDR, CDR, TRR, and Acceptance Reviews
Identify technical risks and implement effective mitigation strategies
Support stakeholders interactions and ensure compliance with mission and program requirements
What We Are Looking For
At least 5 years of experience in Space Systems Engineering or spacecraft development programs, otherwise, you have been involved in at least 3 space missions that successfully progressed through development, launch, and in-orbit operations.
Experience in requirements engineering, interface management, and Verification & Validation activities
Knowledge of Systems Engineering methodologies and ECSS standards
Proven ability to work effectively within multidisciplinary engineering teams
Fluent English (C1/C2 mandatory)
Nice to Have
