Basic knowledge of EO satellite mission design and trade-offs.
Demonstrated technical experience in working on a specific satellite subsystem.
Experience in working on complex engineering projects in a fast-paced environment.
Ability to clearly define system engineering approaches and objectives.
Basic working experience in programming in Python.
Experience with working on satellite platform or subsystem assembly, integration and test campaigns.
Experience in working with multiple multi-disciplinary teams to realise at least one hardware throughout its lifecycle.

Good to haves

Experience with opto-mechanical systems or space payload structures.
Familiarity with MATLAB/Python, STK and mechanical or optics design tools (e.g., CAD - NX or Solidworks, Zemax), or similar
Developed and maintained interface control documents.
Familiarity with payload alignment and stability requirements.
Understanding of launch load environments and qualification processes
