Job Description

What will you work on?

You'll design both digital (SoC/FPGA) and mixed-signal electronics for real space projects. We're looking for a systems-minded approach and the drive to take things all the way to completion.

In practice, this means you will:

  • Start with requirements and define the concept/architecture (digital + analog)

  • Create schematics, design in Altium Designer, and run simulations as needed (e.g., LTspice)

  • Design and finalize the PCB layout (including reviews and design iterations)

  • Participate in bring-up and testing Work hands-on in the lab, including soldering when needed

  • Produce and maintain complete documentation (a must)

Who will you work with?

  • You'll join a smaller team that includes a Systems Engineer, an experienced Hardware Designer, and an Embedded Developer.

  • On projects, you'll also collaborate with others across the company — Project Managers, Analysts/Calculations Engineers, Mechanical Designers, and Quality Engineers.

  • You'll be in contact with external partners (we collaborate with other companies on product development) as well as representatives of the European Space Agency.

Why join us?

  • What you design can fly all the way to Venus — your work will have real impact.

  • Every project is different: interesting challenges, responsibility, and meaningful ownership.

  • You'll see the full cycle: idea → board → bring-up → measurement results.

  • You'll work with a team of people who love space, help each other out, and still give you room to do your thing.

What we're looking for

  • Hands-on experience designing PCBs in real projects (ideally from schematics through bring-up)

  • Strong background in digital electronics (SoC, FPGA) and solid understanding of analog fundamentals

  • Proficiency in Altium Designer (schematics + PCB); simulation experience / LTspice is a plus

  • Documentation is not a burden for you — you know how to keep it clear and usable

  • You can communicate in English, both spoken and written

  • If you have overlap into software (embedded, or FPGA/VHDL), that's a plus
