Job description

Описание:

Would you like to work on technology that could change the future of space infrastructure? We are looking for a Sales Engineer to join an innovative SpaceTech company developing cutting-edge technologies for the space industry. The company is pioneering 3D printing of structural components directly in orbit, with the goal of transforming how solar panels for satellites and orbital data centres are designed and manufactured. By producing structures in space, the technology aims to overcome the size and volume limitations of traditional deployable solar arrays. This is a unique opportunity to combine your engineering expertise with customer-facing and commercial activities, contributing to projects that are pushing the boundaries of what is possible in space.

Задачи:

Take ownership of technical and commercial proposals, including RFI/RFQ responses, Statements of Work (SOWs), compliance matrices, project schedules and technical documentation. Work closely with engineering teams to gather technical data, validate assumptions and develop customer-specific solutions. Participate in customer meetings and calls as the technical point of contact, explaining the technology, discussing technical trade-offs and addressing customer questions. Translate customer requirements – such as power needs, mass, stowed volume, orbital conditions, interfaces and satellite lifetime – into clear engineering requirements. Assess technical feasibility, identify potential limitations and communicate the advantages and trade-offs of proposed solutions. Prepare technical presentations, datasheets and materials comparing the company's technology with conventional deployable solar array solutions. Represent the company at industry conferences, trade fairs and customer meetings. Gather market and customer feedback and share relevant insights with the engineering team to support further product development.

Требования:

At least 3 years of experience in a Sales Engineer, Application Engineer, Systems Engineer, Proposal Engineer or similar role within the space, aerospace or aerospace hardware industry. A degree in Engineering, preferably in Aerospace, Mechanical, Electrical, Materials Engineering or a related field. Good understanding of satellite and spacecraft design considerations, including power budgets, mass constraints, stowed volume, thermal conditions and launch loads. Ability to understand and explain how technical design choices affect system performance, mass, volume and cost per watt. Previous experience preparing technical proposals, responding to RFIs/RFQs or working on tender documentation. Confidence in communicating complex technical concepts to customers and non-technical stakeholders. Excellent command of English, both written and spoken. Willingness to travel for customer meetings and industry events. Experience with satellite solar arrays, power subsystems, deployable structures or other spacecraft hardware. Familiarity with ECSS standards and ESA procurement or tender processes (e.g. ESA-STAR, ARTES, GSTP). Knowledge of additive manufacturing and 3D printing technologies. Existing contacts within satellite operators, satellite manufacturers, space primes or system integrators. Experience working in an early-stage technology or hardware startup. French or German language skills.

What client offers:

• Contract: Full-time B2B cooperation
• Work model: Fully remote, anywhere in Europe
• Travel: Opportunities to meet customers and attend international industry events

Условия:

You will become part of a small, ambitious team working on a technology with the potential to reshape the future of satellite infrastructure. This is not just about selling a product – it is about helping turn a new engineering concept into a commercially viable solution for the global space industry.
