For those aspiring to advance exploration both in space and on Earth, we offer a journey beyond boundaries.

With our expanding presence in the UK, opportunities abound to collaborate with some of the most dynamic players in the country's space sector. Offering expertise across geointelligence, robotics, space operations, and satellite systems, our UK team supports European-based clients while spearheading the development of advanced space sensors for exploration missions and cutting-edge communication technologies. As our global footprint grows, so too does our need for ambitious individuals eager to help us shape our role in the universe and beyond.

Responsibilities:

  • Develop system, sub-system, product, and software level requirements, specifications, and interface definitions.
  • Conduct payload design trade-offs.
  • Analyze system-level performance requirements and allocate them to subsystems/components.
  • Develop technology maturation and risk reduction plans for critical payload elements and satellite subsystems.
  • Support business development and proposal activities for multiple payload programs and customers.
  • Negotiate specification trade-offs with customers and engineers.
  • Ensure designs meet specifications, resolving discrepancies with customers when necessary.
  • Provide operational support in orbit.

    Required Skills:

  • Bachelor's degree in relevant engineering or related field; Master's or Doctorate preferred.
  • Demonstrated ability to develop and analyze technical requirements, conduct major design reviews, and allocate functions to subsystems and hardware/software.
  • Proficiency in writing proposals, including developing clear technical presentations.
  • 3-5+ years of experience in satellite communications technologies; familiarity with technologies such as phased array antennas, digital processing, DVBS2X standard, beam hopping, and link budgets is advantageous.
  • Extensive experience in end-to-end satellite communications payload design.
  • Strong communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to interact effectively with customers, management, and peers.
  • Experience with ESA processes and projects is highly desirable.

    We are a team of purpose-driven, collaborative, and passionate individuals, always on the lookout for like-minded individuals to join us in pioneering new and innovative approaches to problem-solving. If you're excited about expanding our presence in space and are driven to inspire the next generation, we invite you to join us on this extraordinary journey.

    We are entering a new era of exploration and development, and we welcome all who are eager to join us. As an equal opportunity employer committed to diversity, integrity, and collaboration, we are dedicated to furthering our leadership role in this exciting era of exploration.
