Curious about combining systems engineering with microscope solutions designed for space? Join ASRO and help shape the future of space technology

Your role with us

As a Systems Engineer at ASRO, you will take part in developing next-generation microscope solutions for space-based life and biosciences. You will play a key role in translating customer requirements into concrete technical implementations while maintaining a holistic view across electronic, mechanical, and optical subsystems.

Your work will include requirement management, system-level documentation, and coordination of MAIT (manufacturing, assembly, integration, and testing) planning. You will also participate in customer discussions, ensuring that end-user needs are captured and integrated into our product development process. The role offers a unique opportunity to contribute to space-bound instrumentation projects, including a flagship mission with a planned launch in early 2026.

We are currently running development projects to deploy microscopes on different platforms. As such, the Systems Engineer plays a critical role in navigating platform-specific requirements and ensuring that our multidisciplinary development team stays aligned with the broader technical goals.

You can be in the early stages of your engineering career or already have more experience, as long as you are eager to deepen your expertise in a multidisciplinary setting. With some relevant experience already under your belt, you’re comfortable taking technical responsibility while collaborating with customers to align real-world needs with system design. You think in terms of the big picture, enjoy bridging electronics, optics, and mechanics, and bring a precise, proactive, and documentation-savvy approach to your work.

We hope you have:

• Master's degree in a relevant engineering field
• +1 year of relevant engineering experience
• Basic understanding of electronics and some knowledge of optics/microscopy
• Good documentation skills and a structured way of working
• Strong collaboration and communication skills
• Full professional proficiency in English

Additionally, we value:

• Experience with space projects or aerospace system development
• Familiarity with ESA/NASA standards or ISS payload requirements
• Background or knowledge related to biosciences
