Space Systems Engineer - Contract - Luxembourg (€93.50/hr)

Robotic systems for on-orbit servicing. Lunar and Mars surface exploration. Solar array drive mechanisms. If you want your next contract to mean putting real hardware into space, this is it.

We're working exclusively with a cutting-edge space technology company in Luxembourg on a month contract with a strong chance of extension or conversion to permanent as new programmes come online.

Day to day:

• Requirements capture, validation and traceability management
• Test plan development and verification oversight to ECSS standards
• System architecture, CONOPS and technical trade-off analysis
• Risk identification and mitigation across the programme lifecycle
