Qualifications

• Embedded firmware (Embedded C/C++ for microcontrollers)
• PCB design and hardware bring-up
• Systems engineering and V&V
• Software for hardware control (Python, C++)
• Git version control and Linux scripting

Responsibilities

• Support design, assembly, and testing of satellite subsystems (EPS, Avionics, OBC, Communications, Payloads)
• Contribute to FlatSat integration and test execution with wiring and functional tests
• Develop and debug firmware for microcontrollers and embedded targets
• Assist with PCB bring-up, hardware validation, and V&V activities
• Write and maintain test scripts, automation, and documentation
• Work with version control (Git) and follow structured engineering processes

Job description

Job Summary

About the Job Role: We are building space-grade systems - satellite subsystems, FlatSat platforms, avionics, and payload electronics - and we are looking for a hands-on engineer at the start of their career who already lives and breathes space technology. This is a role for someone who has been building, breaking, and iterating on real hardware and software, not just studying it. You will work alongside senior systems engineers on flight-model hardware, FlatSat integration, firmware development, and end-to-end testing of subsystems destined for orbit.

Responsibilities

• Support design, assembly, and testing of satellite subsystems (EPS, Avionics, OBC, Communications, Payloads)
• Contribute to FlatSat integration and test execution - wiring up subsystems, running functional tests, debugging at the bench
• Develop and debug firmware for micro controllers and embedded targets (STM32, ESP32, or similar)
• Assist with PCB bring-up, hardware validation, and Verification & Validation (V&V) activities
• Write and maintain test scripts, automation, and documentation
• Work with version control (Git) and follow structured engineering processes

Requirements

• Bachelors degree (completed or final year) in a core engineering discipline: Electrical / Electronics, Aerospace, Mechanical, or Computer Science / Software Engineering
• Demonstrable space-related project experience - university satellite programs, CubeSat / FlatSat builds, student space clubs, CanSat competitions, or rocketry teams
• A portfolio (GitHub, project reports, demo videos, or documented builds) showing real hands on work in space tech or complex engineering
• Embedded firmware (Embedded C / C++, microcontroller programming)
• PCB design and hardware bring-up
• Systems engineering, requirements, or test/V&V
• Software development (Python, C++) for hardware control or data processing
• Evidence of initiative and drive - projects you started yourself, leadership in a club, hackathons, self-taught skills

Nice-to-Have

• Direct CubeSat or FlatSat experience (design, integration, or testing)
• Familiarity with space mission lifecycle, mission assurance, or flight qualification
• High-speed PCB design, ADC/DAC, power distribution (EPS), or avionics exposure
• Experience with Nvidia Jetson, Petalinux, LVDS, or rad-hard / edge computing concepts
• Linux, Bash scripting, Makefiles
• Hobbyist background: aeromodelling, FPV drones, software-defined radio, DIY electronics
