Job description

Involve Space is an Italian aerospace company founded in 2021, specializing in the development of pseudo-satellite stratospheric platforms and advanced Earth Observation solutions.

Our mission is to make near-space access more accessible, flexible and sustainable, offering innovative alternatives to traditional satellite systems.

Through proprietary technologies based on space balloons, we enable the collection and analysis of high-resolution data for applications in infrastructure, environment, defense and scientific research.

We operate in an international context, collaborating with companies, institutions and space agencies.

In a phase of strong growth and scaling, Involve Space aims to become a global leader in stratospheric technologies, building a new layer of operations in the suborbtial airspace.

We are looking for an Electronics Technician to join our team and support the assembly, integration, testing, and troubleshooting of onboard electronics and avionics systems for high-altitude platforms. In this role, you will work hands-on with electronic hardware operating in extreme environments at the edge of space, contributing to missions in Earth observation, telecommunications testing, and aerospace research.

Responsibilities

• Assemble, wire, and integrate electronic systems and subsystems for stratospheric platforms
• Support the development and testing of analog and digital circuits for avionics and onboard systems
• Assist in the assembly and inspection of PCB boards for flight electronics
• Set up and operate measurement equipment for hardware testing and validation
• Support integration of communication modules (LoRa, LTE, WiFi, telemetry systems)
• Interface and test sensors and peripherals on embedded hardware
• Troubleshoot electronic devices and systems at component and subsystem level
• Support environmental testing and flight validation activities
• Assist with system integration and flight readiness checks
• Collaborate with engineering teams across avionics, RF, AI, and payload disciplines
• Support mission operations and hardware troubleshooting during campaigns

Must have

• Technical diploma (or equivalent) in Electronics, Electrical Engineering, Mechatronics, or related field — or demonstrated hands‑on experience in lieu of formal qualifications
• Good understanding of analog and digital electronics fundamentals
• Practical experience with measurement equipment (oscilloscope, multimeter, function generator)
• Experience with PCB assembly, soldering, and basic inspection
• Familiarity with embedded systems and microcontrollers
• Ability to read and interpret electronic schematics and wiring diagrams
• Familiarity with communication interfaces (I2C, SPI, UART)
• Ability to troubleshoot hardware systems at component and subsystem level
• Hands‑on approach with strong attention to detail

Nice to have

• Experience with aerospace or high‑altitude systems
• Knowledge of RF fundamentals and antenna integration
• Basic firmware development skills (C/C++ or Python)
• Experience with Linux-based embedded systems
• Knowledge of power systems for battery‑powered platforms
• Experience with avionics integration
• Knowledge of environmental testing (thermal, vacuum, vibration)
• Experience with telemetry systems
