  • 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.
