Your mission
You will be the technical owner of our satellite platform- the person who turns mission needs into a buildable, testable and reliable system, and who is not afraid to go hands-on when reality hits hardware.
- Own the platform technical direction: define and drive the system architecture, requirements, interfaces and budgets to ensure a coherent end-to-end platform.
- Make the right engineering calls: lead trade-offs across mass, power, thermal, data, RF and reliability to converge on a design the team can actually deliver.
- Bring systems to the lab: define the verification approach and actively support AIT and test campaigns (planning, procedures, acceptance criteria, reports).
- Be the “go-to” technical problem solver: troubleshoot anomalies, unblock the team, and push issues to closure with pragmatic engineering judgement.
- Connect specialists into one system: align subsystem/domain experts across departments, ensuring interfaces, assumptions and decisions are consistent and documented.
- Enable execution with structure:



work with a Project Manager who supports planning and delivery tracking, so you can focus on technical leadership and hands-on execution.
- On-site role: work from our facilities in Porto do Molle (Nigrán, Spain), close to the hardware, the lab and the engineering team.

Your profile
