UK Space Jobs

Surrey Satellite Technology · Guildford

Manufacture flight harnesses and test cables for spacecraft assembly, integration and testing, working within the AIT team to implement harness designs that meet electrical, grounding and environmental requirements. Involves liaising with systems engineers on anomalies, progress reporting, test cable build, harness routing discussions and general AIT/EVT support, with possible overseas travel and irregular hours at peak times.

Surrey Satellite Technology · Guildford

Inspects spacecraft electrical and mechanical harnesses against ESA, ECSS and IPC/WHMA-A-620 Space Addendum standards, covering routing, shielding, lacing, strain relief and bend radii. Runs continuity, insulation resistance (Hi-Pot) and connector integrity tests, documents non-conformances and performs Key Inspection Points during build and integration in cleanroom conditions.

Aalyria · London

Join a team building software-defined networking platforms for aerospace, working on orchestration and management of planetary mesh networks across radio and optical spectrum. The role involves developing systems for satellite, airborne, cislunar and deep-space communications, using technology originally acquired from Google.

Aalyria · London

Join a team building laser communications and temporospatial software-defined networking platforms for aerospace, working on satellite and airborne mesh networks plus cislunar and deep-space communications. The role centres on orchestrating and managing planetary mesh networks across any radio or optical spectrum, orbit, or hardware spanning land, sea, air and space.

Eutelsat OneWeb · Issy-Les-Moulineaux, United Kingdom

Develops, validates and maintains in-house system performance simulators for next-generation satellite communication systems, running end-to-end modelling analyses to inform payload, platform and ground network design. Works within the End-to-End Systems Engineering organisation alongside architecture, software and commercial teams, using Julia or Python plus MATLAB, C++ or SQL, and presenting results to technical and non-technical audiences.

CesiumAstro · Milton Keynes

Owns integration and verification of space-communication systems spanning digital and analogue hardware, building and maintaining test setups and software for modem and link validation at baseband and RF level. Involves calibration and metrology analysis, Python-based modular test tooling, and troubleshooting link performance alongside DSP, hardware and software teams.
