Descripción del empleo

Your mission

As an Electronic Hardware Engineer, you will play a key role in designing and delivering robust electronic systems for space applications. You will be part of a multidisciplinary team and involved throughout the full development lifecycle, from early design concepts to production support, ensuring high reliability and performance in demanding environments.

• Design, test, and validate multilayer PCBs for both high- and low-power systems using tools such as Altium, KiCad, or OrCAD
• Develop and analyse power electronics, including DC/DC converters, DC/AC regulators, protection systems, and thermal management strategies
• Design signal and low-power circuits for sensors, data acquisition, and embedded communication interfaces
• Build, assemble, and debug electronic prototypes, performing detailed characterisation and validation
• Prepare and maintain high-quality technical documentation, including schematics, test procedures, and verification reports
• Support industrialisation and production phases, ensuring smooth transition to manufacturing
• Collaborate cross-functionally with mechanical, software, and systems engineers to guarantee performance and reliability in space conditions

Your profile

We are looking for a structured and detail-oriented engineer with a strong technical foundation and a passion for solving complex challenges.

• A degree in Telecommunications Engineering, Electronics, or a related field (Master’s degree is a plus)
• At least 2 years of experience in PCB design and electronic hardware development
• Proven expertise in multilayer PCB design and EDA tools (Altium, KiCad, OrCAD)
• Solid knowledge of power electronics, including conversion topologies, component sizing, and thermal management
• Experience with low-power and signal electronics (e.g. amplifiers, ADCs/DACs, SPI, UART, CAN interfaces)
• Understanding of high- and low-power coexistence challenges (EMC, noise, plane separation)
• Experience integrating microcontrollers (STM32, ARM Cortex, or similar)
• Hands‑on experience in prototype assembly, testing, and debugging
• Strong ability to create and interpret technical documentation

It’s a plus if you also have:

• Experience working under aerospace standards (ECSS, MIL-STD)
• Familiarity with space qualification testing (thermal vacuum, vibration, radiation, shock)
• Knowledge of space communication buses (SpaceWire, CAN, RS-422, MIL-STD-1553)
• Previous experience in space or defence projects

You are:

• Analytical and solution‑oriented, with high technical accuracy
• Well‑organised and able to meet project milestones
• A proactive team player with strong collaboration skills
• Comfortable working in multidisciplinary and complex engineering environments
• Clear and effective in communication and documentation

Why us?
