Our Story

Space is one of the fastest-growing industries in the world. Thousands of satellites launch every year, and the market behind them is booming — with Poland right in the middle of it, home to a fast-rising space sector.

Our Story

Space is one of the fastest-growing industries in the world. Thousands of satellites launch every year, and the market behind them is booming — with Poland right in the middle of it, home to a fast-rising space sector.

Liftero is at the heart of this trend. We build propulsion systems for the thousands of spacecraft coming to orbit, with the ambition to become the global leader in satellite propulsion — the transport layer of the space economy. Our goal is clear: deploy 1,000 propulsion systems in space.

Our core product is Booster, a non-toxic chemical propulsion system built from first principles for the NewSpace era. It has already been validated in space.

As a fast-scaling company, we combine agility with long-term ambition to serve the booming small-satellite market. Joining now means a front-row seat to space technology and real ownership over what we build.

At Liftero, we fly things!

Position Overview

We are looking for an Electronics Engineer to join our team and work hands‑on with hardware — from electronics and PCB design, through prototype development and bring‑up, to testing, troubleshooting, and system integration.

Your Daily Impact

• Designing and developing analog and digital electronic circuits for real‑world applications.
• Creating PCBs, schematics, and comprehensive technical documentation.
• Selecting optimal electronic components based on technical, project, and environmental requirements.
• Building, bringing up, measuring, and testing prototypes using multimeters, oscilloscopes, and logic analyzers.
• Diagnosing and troubleshooting complex hardware issues, from PCB‑level problems to complete devices.
• Designing and commissioning control, measurement, and actuator systems.
• Developing test plans, test benches, and Hardware‑in‑the‑Loop (HIL) systems.
• Executing functional and integration tests and analyzing critical test results.
• Collaborating closely with embedded software, mechanical, and test engineers to bring full systems to life.
• Identifying technical bottlenecks and optimizing existing engineering solutions.
• Taking ownership of selected modules, subsystems, and key project areas as you grow.

Is This You?

• You hold a degree in Electronics, Electrical Engineering, Automation, Mechatronics, or a related field.
• You bring solid practical knowledge of analog and digital electronics.
• You have hands‑on experience in PCB design (ideally using Altium).
• You can easily read and create clear schematics and technical documentation in English.
• You understand microcontroller‑based systems and hardware basics.
• You know how to work with CAN and RS‑232 interfaces.
• You are capable of independently diagnosing and fixing hardware issues.
• You combine an analytical mindset with a systematic approach to problem‑solving.
• You enjoy collaborating across interdisciplinary engineering teams.
• You can simulate electronic circuits using LTspice or a similar environment.
• You have strong hands‑on skills in SMD component soldering.
• You know how to prepare and manage manufacturing documentation.

You Can Score Extra Points For

• Experience with Altium Designer, Mentor Xpedition, KiCad, or other PCB design software.
• Experience with reflow soldering and familiarity with Pick‑and‑Place (P&P) machines.
• Experience in space electronics or standardized electronics design processes (e.g. ISO 26262)
• EMC/EMI compliance and signal integrity knowledge (CISPR 25).

Perks & Advantages

• Stable employment: Polish Employment Contract (UoP) + opportunity to participate in the stock option program.
• Real impact & full ownership: You will shape advanced electronics from initial concept to the final product, taking gradual ownership of your own project areas.
• A team of true hardware enthusiasts: You will collaborate with a sharp, interdisciplinary engineering team that values working devices over corporate bureaucracy.

What Its Like To Work With Us

Working at Liftero is meaningful, fast‑paced, and human. We’re not trying to copy corporate culture or pretend that work is your second home - we respect your time, your life outside of work, and the fact that we’re all just people. If you're having a tough day, say it - we’ll work it out. If you’re in flow and want to build through the night, we trust you to manage your own time.

Building serious space tech takes focus, dedication, and real effort. It can be demanding - but it’s also where you’ll grow, both professionally and personally.

We’ve created a unique company culture that’s shaped by mutual respect and a shared drive to build things that fly. Whether you’re loud and all-in, or more quiet and independent - there’s space for you here.

We work in our own project management framework, refined over years of iteration. It helps us move quickly, stay flexible, and give every team member a real voice in shaping the final product.
