How you will make an impact:

At Fluid Wire Robotics, we are taking on the challenge of developing a new generation of dexterous robotic manipulators designed for operating in the most extreme environments, from deep underwater to outer space, and even in radioactive zones. One of the most strategic milestones in our roadmap is the in-orbit demonstration of our Fluid Wire technology planned for 2028 and supported by the EIC Accelerator. In this role, you will help turn that objective into a real mission: defining architecture and developing electronic hardware for our robotic payload for in orbit demonstration.

What you’ll do

You’ll work within our Space Division, and you will be responsible for the electronics hardware development of our robotic platforms to perform missions in the fields of In-Orbit Servicing & Assembly and Debris Removal. You'll have hands‑on access to a broad range of robotic hardware and experimental equipment to test, validate, and refine your hardware. You’ll collaborate closely with world class mechanical and electronics, software and automation teams to ensure cohesive, system‑level development and planning. Specifically, you’ll be responsible for the following main tasks:

• Bringing Fluid‑Wires in Space Applications. The definition of robot electronics architecture and development of hardware for IOD of FWR technology will be the focus of the job. Through day‑by‑day interaction with mechatronic teams, the electronic hardware will become a key component of our space robotic device.
• The integration with space vessel systems is another key aspect which allows us to perform IOD.

What you’ll bring

We’re looking for individuals who are detail‑oriented, thrive with creative autonomy, and are driven to deliver work that their colleagues can be proud of.

To be successful in this role, you should have:

• Electronic hardware design experience
• PCB design prototyping and testing experience
• Electronic components selection experience
• Analog signal conditioning knowledge
• Advanced usage of Altium or similar EDA
• Team working natural attitude
• Problem solving capability
