About the job AIT Engineer – Power Systems Role Overview An exceptional, hands‑on technical opportunity is open for an

AIT (Assembly, Integration, and Testing) Engineer specializing in Power Systems . This role supports a premier international space technology company that develops and operates Earth observation satellite constellations. Providing mission‑critical insights across maritime awareness, security, and disaster management, the organization is aggressively scaling up its production footprint in Europe.

Based on‑site at their facility in Valencia, you will take ownership of the physical integration, electrical testing, and validation of sophisticated satellite electrical power subsystems (EPS). This position sits at the perfect crossroads of electrical hardware design, floor production, and system‑level qualification.

Key Responsibilities

Hardware Assembly & Integration:

Execute the physical integration and routing of critical satellite power subsystems, including solar arrays, power distribution units (PDUs), battery modules, and regulation electronics.

Electrical System Testing

Plan and perform rigourous subsystem‑level electrical verification, checkouts, and functional validations to guarantee payload and architecture integrity before launch.

Troubleshooting & RCA:

Drive immediate root cause analysis (RCA) and deep technical troubleshooting across complex electrical schematics and wiring layouts to fix failures detected during build phases.

Process Industrialization

Actively support production ramp‑up, helping transition custom prototype builds into highly reliable, repeatable, and scalable manufacturing workflows.

Design Optimization

Collaborate with cross‑functional engineering branches to contribute vital insights for Design‑for‑Manufacturing (DFM) and Design‑for‑Testability (DFT).

Technical Documentation

Author, maintain, and execute highly specific, clear integration procedures, anomaly reports, and verification check‑lists.

Requirements & Qualifications

Education





Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Electronics, Telecommunications, Aerospace Engineering, or a closely matching technical track.

Core Experience

5+ years of direct, hands‑on experience in the development, assembly, electrical integration, or validation testing of complex power or hardware distribution architectures.

Industry Sector

Proven experience with high‑reliability hardware networks. Prior background in Space (NewSpace/Satellite architectures), Defense, or high‑tier Aerospace fields is heavily preferred.

Technical Depth

Extensive familiarity with integration workflows, troubleshooting instruments (oscilloscopes, multimeters, power loads), and software configuration systems.

Leadership & Traits:

Capable of acting as a technical anchor on the factory floor, mentoring lower‑level assembly technicians, and working fluently with multidisciplinary project managers.

Language

Professional‑level written and spoken fluency in

English .
