About the role

  • Embedded Avionics Engineer working with flight electronics and software for space manufacturing. Collaborating on avionics architecture and ensuring compliance with European space standards.

Responsibilities

  • Define and maintain avionics architectures spanning hardware, firmware, and system interfaces
  • Support flight software development through hardware knowledge, code architecture input, and ConOps definition
  • Design avionics electronics (PCBs) or lead COTS/custom supplier selection and trade-offs
  • Perform market research and interface with electronics suppliers and manufacturers
  • Write simple embedded software for breadboards, hardware bring-up, and test stands
  • Design and build test boards and electrical ground support equipment (EGSE)
  • Conduct functional electronics laboratory testing and support system integration
  • Build and maintain lab-level wiring harnesses
  • Ensure avionics development follows ESA / ECSS standards and best practices
  • Produce clear technical documentation and test reports
  • Provide technical guidance to junior engineers and working students

Requirements

  • MSc in Electrical Engineering, Embedded Systems, Aerospace Engineering, Software Engineering, Mechatronics or related field
  • Professional experience in space avionics or embedded systems (not a first job)
  • Experience working on space, aerospace, or other safety-critical embedded systems
  • Proven ability to work across hardware and software domains
  • PCB design (ECAD)
  • Microcontrollers and onboard computers
  • Embedded C/C++ (reading, debugging, writing simple code)
  • Electrical interfaces (SPI, I2C, UART, RS485/RS422, CAN, SpaceWire or similar)
  • Lab testing and instrumentation (e.g. LabVIEW)
  • Familiarity with ECSS standards
  • Understanding of space avionics constraints (radiation, redundancy, reliability, testing philosophy)

Benefits

  • High level of ownership across the full avionics lifecycle, from concept to flight
  • Direct impact on novel space manufacturing and deployment technologies
  • Close collaboration between hardware and software in a lean, fast-moving startup environment
  • Opportunity to shape avionics architecture rather than maintain legacy systems
