Job description

Job Description

To pursue our ambitious vision, we are looking for a Senior Embedded Electrical Engineer. In this role, you will define the embedded software architecture and develop the microcontroller-based electronics at the heart of a satellite power system — coordinating its subsystems, from control loops to telemetry.

Your Mission Will Be To

• Define and implement the embedded software architecture of the power system: software structure and scheduling, interactions between the subsystems (power conversion, battery/BMS, solar array and other subsystems), and interfaces with the rest of the spacecraft.
• Implement digital control on DSP/MCU platforms: control loops, measurements, signal treatment algorithms and MPPT algorithms.
• Develop the system-level embedded functions: BMS functions, battery charging strategies (CC/CV profiles, current/voltage limits over temperature and state of charge), telemetry, and communication with the spacecraft.
• Design microcontroller-based electronics: MCU selection, schematics, peripherals (ADC, PWM, communication interfaces), and hardware/software integration.
• Build, bring up, and validate prototypes in the lab: functional testing, debugging, and hardware/software integration.

Requirements

• Professional engineering education (MSc or equivalent) in electrical engineering / embedded systems, with 5+ years of hands‑on experience in embedded control electronics.
• Embedded C or Rust programming for real‑time control on DSP/MCU.
• Experience designing embedded software architectures for systems with multiple interacting subsystems.
• Strong knowledge of MCU peripherals: ADCs, high‑resolution PWM, timers, and communication buses (SPI, I2C, CAN, UART).
• Solid foundation in control theory (average modeling, loop compensation) and its digital implementation.
• Good mixed‑signal design skills: signal conditioning, sensing chains, protections.
• Autonomy in the lab: oscilloscopes, probes, debuggers, electronic loads.
• Strong analytical skills, a proactive attitude, excellent interpersonal skills and unbounded curiosity.
• You enjoy owning your scope end‑to‑end.
• Professional level English — further languages welcome.

Nice To Have

• Experience in aerospace, automotive, consumer electronics, or other high‑reliability industries.
• Familiarity with power systems including battery, MPPT, control loops and energy conversion.
• Experience with RTOS.
