Job description

Creotech Instruments S.A. is a Polish manufacturer and integrator of satellites and satellite systems. Using our proprietary HyperSat platform, we design, manufacture, integrate and test satellites, and also support their launch and in-orbit operations. We carry out advanced space programmes, including in the fields of Earth observation for defence and dual-use applications, space situational awareness, and enhancing the resilience of navigation systems. We have our own electronics manufacturing facility and a small satellite integration facility certified by the European Space Agency (ESA). Since 2022, we have been listed on the Main Market of the Warsaw Stock Exchange as the first Polish company in the space technology sector. Join the team that is building Poland’s space capabilities.

We are looking for an experienced engineer to join our team, who will take responsibility for the development of the EGSE (Electrical Ground Support Equipment) division, which deals with the design, construction, integration, commissioning and maintenance of systems and test benches used during the integration, testing and validation of satellites and space systems. The role combines technical, systems-related and organisational skills. We are looking for someone who can translate design requirements into working hardware and software solutions, set the direction for the development of test infrastructure, and effectively coordinate the work of the team responsible for developing test environments for advanced space systems.

Your responsibilities:

• Co-ordinating the work of the team responsible for the development and maintenance of EGSE systems;
• Defining the architecture and requirements for systems and workstations supporting satellite integration and testing;
• Overseeing the design, construction, integration and commissioning of EGSE hardware and software;
• Ensuring the test infrastructure is ready for integration, functional and environmental test campaigns;
• Collaborating with the System Engineering, Electronics, Software, Mechanical Design and AIT teams;
• Supporting the process of defining requirements, planning tests and verification activities;
• Analysing and resolving technical issues arising during system integration and testing;
• Developing standards, processes and best practices relating to the design, operation and maintenance of EGSE environments;
• Participation in technical reviews and the assessment of project risks;
• Planning the team’s work and supporting the development of engineers’ skills.

Requirements:

• Higher technical education (electronics, electrical engineering, automation, mechatronics, telecommunications, aerospace engineering, or related fields);
• Experience in the design, integration, commissioning or maintenance of complex test systems;
• Practical knowledge of electronics, measurement systems and laboratory equipment;
• Experience in setting up or operating infrastructure used for testing technical systems;
• Ability to read technical documentation and electrical diagrams;
• Experience in leading technical projects or coordinating the work of an engineering team;
• Ability to work at the interface of multiple technical disciplines;
• Proficiency in English sufficient to work on international projects.

Nice to have:

• Experience in the space, aerospace, defence or other high-tech sectors;
• Knowledge of AIT (Assembly, Integration & Testing) and Verification & Validation processes;
• Experience in the integration of satellites or high‑criticality systems;
• SEP certification;
• Experience of working in accordance with the quality requirements typical of regulated sectors.

You will be responsible for developing the infrastructure used for the integration, verification, and qualification of satellites within the framework of major space programs conducted by Creotech. This role is designed for an engineer who wants to make a tangible impact on how systems destined for orbit are tested, build state‑of‑the‑art test environments, and advance their expertise in EGSE (Electrical Ground Support Equipment) at one of the leading space sector companies in Central and Eastern Europe.
