Lead Systems Engineer - Space and Ground

About the Role:

A European NewSpace operator is seeking a Lead Systems Engineer – Space and Ground to take ownership of end-to-end systems architecture across its LEO constellation.

This is a technically hands-on position spanning both space segment (payload, RF, onboard systems) and ground segment (gateways, TT&C, network integration).

You will operate at system level, ensuring integration, performance, and scalability across the full communication chain as the constellation evolves. The role requires a strong systems thinker capable of bridging multidisciplinary engineering teams while remaining technically embedded in architecture, requirements, and validation activities.

The Company:

Headquartered in Luxembourg, this established NewSpace company designs, deploys, and operates a growing LEO satellite constellation.

With assets already in orbit and further expansion planned, the organisation combines advanced payload development with ground infrastructure integration to deliver a fully operational satellite network.

The culture is lean, technically rigorous, and ownership driven.

Benefits & Opportunities

• End-to-end systems ownership across space and ground
• Constellation-level architectural influence
• Scaling European NewSpace environment

To be successful you’ll need to have…

• 10+ years’ experience in satellite systems or communications engineering
• Experience across both payload and ground segment infrastructure
• Background in system architecture, integration, and V&V
• LEO constellation experience preferred
