Shape the architecture of Earth observation missions

At SATLANTIS, we design advanced space technologies to tackle global challenges from above. Our satellites are conceived, designed, and built to deliver reliable, high-performance Earth observation data in demanding orbital environments.

As a Space Systems Engineer - Satellite Design, you will contribute to the definition, design, and evolution of complete satellite systems, combining technical depth with a system-level vision across the full mission lifecycle.

:
What’s in it for you:
- Real impact on satellite missions: Your work will directly influence the design and performance of Earth observation satellites that operate in orbit.
- System-level exposure: Contribute not only to design, but also to AIT, operations, flight dynamics, and thermal analysis as part of an integrated space team.
- Flexible growth path: Join a role open to different experience levels, with onboarding and learning periods to gradually take on responsibility.
- Technically diverse challenges: Work across mechanics,



systems engineering, budgets, and supplier interfaces.
- Adaptable working hours: Autonomy, trust, and accountability are core to how we work.
- Collaborative space environment: Be part of a multidisciplinary team driven by curiosity, learning, and shared purpose.

Your mission:
Your mission will be to design, analyse, and manage satellite system architectures, ensuring that mechanical, structural, and system-level requirements are met throughout the mission lifecycle.

By combining technical execution with systems thinking, your work will help turn satellite concepts into robust, space-ready platforms.

You will:
- Design satellite concepts using CAD, including structure definition, subsystem layout, cable routing, and launcher compliance.
- Interface with external suppliers for key subsystems such as AOCS, communications, OBC, and propulsion.
- Perform preliminary assessments of structural inte
