Why should you join us?

We bring together a team of dedicated people from all over the world that are fun and pleasant to work with. We are a very down to earth organization while at the same time being a global leader of nanosatellites.

We greatly encourage new ideas and are open to suggestions from all employees on how to make ISISPACE a better company. Depending on your own interest and qualifications, you can have a career in technology, either as a specialist or a generalist. Alternatively, there are opportunities in a managerial or project management role.

In a fast-growing nanosatellite market, ISISPACE offers a broad portfolio of miniaturized components and subsystems that are both used in ISISPACE designed satellites and sold as standalone products to customers globally. Our challenging CubeSat and NanoSat missions are used for a wide variety of purposes, for example testing out new technologies in space, atmospheric and climate monitoring, and signal intelligence.

As Embedded Software Engineer you will join the Mission Solutions & Engineering team and are made responsible for contributing to the design, development, and verification of (flight) software for our nanosatellite mission projects. You support the entire life cycle of our projects, from preparing proposals, deriving subsystem-requirements, delivery of the software to internal or external customers, and supporting in-orbit operations. In this role, you will work closely together with the various disciplines within the company such as the Project Managers, Systems Engineers, System Assembly Integration and Test Engineers, and others. In addition, you act as a versatile engineer that can support projects where and when needed.
