- Establish additional support from students and external partners in coordination with the project leadership team.
- Develop and execute test plans and procedures, including environmental testing and validation. This includes managing non-conformances and coordinating respective review boards.
You have a background in space mission engineering and architecture development or comparable expertise with space systems. Experience working in an international setting is a bonus. Above all, you should have a passion for learning and a curiosity for understanding how things work, enjoy taking responsibility, be proactive, and work goal-oriented.
We are looking for someone with:
- Master’s degree in aerospace engineering, mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, or related fields.
- 10+ years of practical experience in space systems engineering, mission architecture, or spacecraft engineering.
- Proven experience in the design, development, manufacturing, assembly, integration, and testing of space systems and subsystems.
- The ability to conduct system-level analysis and trade studies to inform design decisions.
- In-depth understanding of space mission requirements, space systems engineering principles, and lifecycle processes.
- Strong organizational and coordination skills to manage and balance project priorities, timelines, and resources.
Candidates who do not completely fulfill the mentioned skills are also encouraged to apply.
Additionally, the following characteristics are a plus:
- Experience working in an international or multidisciplinary environment.
- Knowledge of industry standards and best practices for space systems engineering.
- Experience in early-stage space mission development.
- Awareness of the Swiss and European space ecosystem, including OEMs, industry contractors, and academic partners.
- A dynamic, international, and interdisciplinary work environment at one of the leading technical universities in the world.
- A motivated team of people sharing a passion for space and the vision to strengthen and enhance space research and activities at ETH Zurich.
- An opportunity to help shape space missions from the very beginning.
