  • Proven experience overseeing platform manufacturing, assembly, integration and testing at equipment, subsystem and satellite levels.
  • Experience with satellite system budgets, environmental qualification, radiation and electromagnetic compatibility analyses.
  • Experience in LEOP, platform in-orbit testing and anomaly resolution. Experience in major European or ESA programmes is an asset.
  • Proficiency in Python, MATLAB or similar tools, together with strong technical reporting, communication and teamwork skills.
Additional requirements:
  • Must be a national of an EU Member State and willing to undergo the security clearance process.
