Thales Alenia Space Jobs in 2025: Your Complete UK Guide to Building Europe’s Next‑Generation Satellites & Lunar Gateways

From pressurised modules orbiting the Moon to broadband mega‑constellations 1,200 km above Earth, Thales Alenia Space (TAS) sits at the heart of Europe’s space ambitions. A joint venture between Thales (67 %) and Leonardo (33 %), TAS employs more than 8,500 people across 17 sites—with growing hubs in Bristol and the Harwell Space Cluster. The firm is lead contractor for Europe’s IRIS² secure‑connect constellation (green‑lit in 2024) and supplies modules for NASA/ESA’s Lunar Gateway. Unsurprisingly, TAS has ramped up hiring: a quick scan of the Thales Alenia Space careers portal shows vacancies in systems engineering, RF payloads, AIT and mission operations. Whether you are a UK graduate dreaming of building communications payloads, a thermal engineer keen to keep lunar habitats at room temperature, or a programme manager itching to deliver the next Copernicus Earth‑observation satellite, this guide explains how to land a Thales Alenia Space job in 2025.

Satellite Engineering vs. Launch Vehicle Engineering vs. Ground Systems: Which Path Should You Choose?

The space sector has experienced a remarkable resurgence in recent years, fuelled by commercial enterprises, miniaturised satellites, reusable rockets, and interplanetary missions. From building satellites that gather climate data to launching payloads on low-cost rockets or orchestrating ground infrastructure for real-time mission control, this industry spans a vast array of engineering and scientific disciplines. If you’ve been browsing space jobs on www.ukspacejobs.co.uk, you’ll likely notice a variety of roles falling into Satellite Engineering, Launch Vehicle Engineering, or Ground Systems. Which path should you pursue if you’re passionate about shaping humanity’s presence beyond Earth? In this comprehensive guide, we’ll define these three primary fields, compare overlapping vs. unique skills, delve into job titles and salary ranges, share real-world examples, and offer career tips. Whether your fascination lies in designing high-performance rockets, creating satellite constellations for broadband coverage, or ensuring seamless ground-to-space communication, understanding these subfields will help you align your talents and ambitions with the right trajectory—both literally and figuratively.

Which Programming Languages Should You Learn for a Career in Space Technology

From satellite constellations delivering broadband internet to Mars rovers and deep-space probes, the space sector is one of the most ambitious and technically challenging industries you can work in. Careers in space technology often blend aerospace engineering, embedded software, scientific computing, and mission-critical systems, each requiring a specific set of programming and engineering skills.
