SWISSto SA Switzerland SWISSto 12 Vollzeit
Description

SWISSto12 is one of the world’s fastest-growing aerospace companies, evolving from its pioneering use of 3D printing technologies for high-performance Radio Frequency (RF) products and applications to recently announcing the manufacture of entire geostationary telecom satellites, called HummingSat, that define a new category in space.
HummingSat is the world’s first commercial telecom GEO SmallSat developed in collaboration with the European Space Agency (ESA). Its uniquely compact size combined with highly capable telecom payloads allows telecommunications operators to deploy a cost-efficient, compact, and agile asset without sacrificing performance or security. HummingSat has been selected by Intelsat to build the I-45 satellite, by Inmarsat to build three I-8 satellites, and recently by Astrum Mobile to build the NEASTAR-1 satellite.
SWISSto12 is also a leading provider of Radio-Frequency (RF) products and sub-systems for satellite communication and remote sensing applications. The company’s patented 3D printing technologies and associated product designs are unique to deliver lightweight, compact, highly performing, and competitive RF products.
You join SWISSto12 to contribute to the development of advanced active antenna products, space payloads and electrical subsystems for next-generation satellite missions. In this role, you will be responsible for the architecture, development, verification and qualification of electrical subsystems associated with active antennas and space payload equipment. This includes power conversion and distribution, telemetry and telecommand functions, EMC/EMI compliance, radiation considerations, electronics architecture definition, supplier technical management, and full lifecycle development of flight electronics.
