Cubiq Recruitment; Paris; On-site; EUR 70,000 - 95,000; Full time

Job summary

Cubiq Recruitment is seeking a Senior Embedded Electrical Engineer to own the brain of a satellite's power system in Paris. You will define the embedded architecture, write control code, and design electronics that will fly in space.

You’ll collaborate with teams across power conversion, battery management, and spacecraft interfaces, bringing prototypes from lab to flight-ready state with a hands-on, end-to-end approach.

Qualifications

• MSc or equivalent in electrical engineering or embedded systems.
• 5+ years hands-on in embedded control electronics.
• Proficiency in Embedded C or Rust for real-time control on DSP/MCU.
• Experience designing embedded architectures with multiple subsystems.
• Strong knowledge of MCU peripherals (ADC, PWM, timers, SPI, I2C, CAN, UART).
• Solid grounding in control theory and its digital implementation.
• Mixed-signal design experience and lab autonomy.

Responsibilities

• Define and implement embedded software architecture of the power system (structure, scheduling, interactions between subsystems).
• Implement digital control on DSP/MCU platforms with control loops and MPPT algorithms.
• Develop system-level functions: BMS, charging strategies, telemetry, and spacecraft communication.
• Design MCU-based electronics: selection, schematics, peripherals, and integration.
• Build, bring up, and validate prototypes in the lab.
