Job description

Senior Electronics Engineer – Space (Berlin)

Our client, a fast-growing space technology startup, is seeking a Senior Electronics Engineer (7+ years’ experience) to lead the electrical development of an advanced space-based LiDAR payload at their Berlin office.

The role supports a European space agency-funded mission focused on next‑generation spaceborne LiDAR systems. You will work with multidisciplinary teams in Europe and the US to adapt heritage Earth‑observation LiDAR designs for beyond-LEO and deep‑space environments, with ownership of the payload’s electrical, power, data, and avionics systems and their interfaces to the spacecraft bus.

This is a full lifecycle position covering concept, design, AIT, qualification, and flight implementation, working closely with laser, software, mechanical, thermal, and systems engineering teams.

Responsibilities

• Lead electrical, data, power, and avionics development for a space LiDAR payload
• Adapt existing LEO LiDAR electrical designs for non-LEO missions
• Design FPGA‑based systems and associated peripherals (memory, ADC/DAC, transceivers)
• Develop payload and LiDAR timing systems (laser/camera synchronisation and UTC)
• Design power regulation and distribution architectures
• Support flatsat and flight hardware build, test, and space qualification
• Identify and mitigate electrical and radiation‑related design risks
• Produce requirements, test plans/reports, and design review material (PDR, CDR, etc.)

Qualifications

• BSc in Electrical Engineering with 7+ years experience (or MSc/PhD with 5+)
• Experience with space hardware electrical design and qualification campaigns
• Strong background in power and data systems
• Experience with spacecraft C&DH, high‑speed signalling, power electronics, EMC/EMI, and grounding
• Ability to translate system requirements into robust electrical designs

Preferred: Experience with LiDAR, lasers, sensors, PCB/CCA design, and radiation analysis.
