Payload Test Engineer

Join a pioneer in the satellite industry, owning payload testing in their brand-new, state of the art satellite manufacturing and test facility in the heart of Luxembourg. This isn't a role where you follow a 20-year-old manual; you will help define the testing standards, own the lab environment, and see your hardware integrated onto a rocket.
