Role Summary

We are looking for an Avionics Architect to define and lead the avionics architecture for our spacecraft, working from early trade studies through to flight-ready implementation. You will translate spacecraft requirements (defined and driven by Systems Engineering) into a robust and scalable avionics design.


Key Responsibilities:
  • Own the spacecraft avionics architecture

  • Translate system requirements into technical design decisions

  • Manage technical and performance budgets

  • Conduct technical trade studies (e.g. COTS vs. custom solutions, radiation tolerance, redundancy)

  • Review unit designs within your area of expertise

  • Own ICDs and interfaces (internal and external partners), including pinouts, grounding, etc.

  • Lead avionics activities in project reviews (SRR, PDR, CDR, QR)

  • Contribute to product line development (delta vs. heritage approach)


Required Qualifications:
  • 5+ years of experience in avionics, embedded systems, or electronics engineering within New Space companies

  • Proven experience owning the architecture of complex embedded/electronic systems

  • Strong understanding of:

  • Digital electronics and embedded systems (MCUs, FPGAs, memory, peripherals)

  • Interfaces and protocols (e.g. CAN, Ethernet, SpaceWire, SPI, I2C, UART, PUS, CCSDS)

  • Requirements and interface documentation (ICDs), as well as configuration management

  • Verification and test strategies

  • Ability to communicate clearly and make sound trade-offs under constraints (mass, power, schedule, cost, reliability)

  • Hands-on mindset when needed (e.g. design reviews, operational support)

  • Fluent English (written and spoken)


Nice to Have:
  • Experience with space systems (CubeSats / SmallSats) and relevant standards (ECSS, NASA practices)

  • Understanding of radiation effects (TID, SEE) and rad-tolerant design approaches

  • EMC/EMI design and testing experience

  • Experience with:

  • RTOS or embedded Linux

  • Safety concepts (FMEA, fault trees)

  • Spacecraft data handling and FDIR

  • PUS communication standards

  • Familiarity with typical subsystem interfaces (ADCS sensors/actuators, EPS, TT&C radios, payloads)

  • Familiarity with the SpaceVPX standard

We offer

Work in a friendly, well-coordinated team of enthusiasts

Stable employment in a modern company with an established market position

Attractive salary and benefits package (e.g., private medical care, sports card)

Opportunities for professional development and participation in innovative projects
