I’m currently supporting a leading European space technology company in the search for an Experienced Systems Engineer to architect next-generation nanosatellite and microsatellite systems.


This is a senior, high-impact role where you will take ownership of spacecraft system architecture from early mission definition through integration, verification, and delivery.

🔎 The Role:

  • Lead end-to-end system architecture for nanosatellite and microsatellite missions
  • Translate mission and customer requirements into technical system solutions
  • Drive system budgets (mass, power, data, thermal, etc.)
  • Support AIT, verification and validation activities
  • Work cross-functionally with avionics, software, mechanical, RF and propulsion teams
  • Interface with customers and external stakeholders


🎯 Ideal Background:

  • Degree in Engineering, Physics, Space/Aerospace, Electronics, Systems Engineering or a related technical discipline
  • 5+ years experience working on complex technical systems
  • Understanding of multi-disciplinary system integration (e.g., electronics, software, mechanical, RF, power, embedded systems, etc.)
  • Exposure to full product lifecycle development - from concept and design through testing and delivery
  • Comfortable working across technical teams and engaging with internal or external stakeholders


🌍 Why Consider This?

  • Work on flight-proven small satellite platforms
  • Be part of a rapidly growing space company
  • Contribute to constellation-scale missions
  • International and highly collaborative engineering culture


If you’re interested (or know someone who might be), please message me directly for a confidential discussion.
