Your mission
Location: Remote-first, with regular on-site visits to Nigrán, Spain
Employment type: Full-time, permanent employee

You will be the technical owner of Kreios Space’s VLEO satellite platform- the person responsible for turning mission needs into a coherent, buildable, testable and reliable spacecraft system.
This is a senior technical leadership position with real engineering authority. You will define the platform direction, connect the different engineering domains and help the team make the decisions required to move from architecture to integrated hardware.
It is not a coordination-only role. We are looking for someone who can operate at system level while remaining close enough to the engineering detail to troubleshoot problems, challenge assumptions and support the team when reality meets hardware.
- Own the technical direction of the platform

Define and drive the satellite platform architecture, system requirements, interfaces, technical budgets and engineering margins, ensuring a coherent end-to-end design.
- Make the key engineering decisions





Lead technical trade-offs across mass, power, thermal, communications, data handling, reliability and performance to converge on a platform the team can build, test and operate.
- Take the platform from architecture to hardware

Define the system-level verification and validation approach and actively support integration, AIT and test campaigns, including test planning, procedures, acceptance criteria, anomaly resolution and reporting.
- Be the go-to technical problem solver

Investigate system-level anomalies, identify root causes, unblock engineering teams and drive technical issues to closure using sound and pragmatic engineering judgement.
- Connect specialists into one system

Align subsystem and domain experts across structures, avionics, ADCS, thermal, propulsion, software, FDIR and operations, ensuring that interfaces, assumptions and technical decisions remain consistent and properly documented.
