ROLE DESCRIPTION SUMMARY

We are seeking a motivated Junior Electrical Engineer to support the development and validation of advanced satellite electronics, with a particular focus on electronics design and radiation testing activities.

In this role, you will contribute to schematic and PCB design, component selection, and laboratory testing, while gaining hands‑on experience with space‑grade hardware and radiation effects on electronic systems.

As part of an agile, international team, you will work closely with experienced electrical and mechanical engineers, as well as testing facilities and manufacturing partners, to support qualification and reliability efforts.

This is an excellent opportunity to develop your technical skills in space electronics, including radiation testing methodologies, while contributing to real mission hardware.

A curious mindset, willingness to learn, attention to detail, and strong collaboration skills are key to success in this role.

• Primary Responsibilities / Key Result Areas
• Define requirements and specifications for multiple digital hardware subsystems (boards or equipment), including their internal modules and associated documentation.
• Collaborate with internal stakeholders and external partners throughout the full subsystem lifecycle.
• Support the development of electronic subsystems through schematic design, PCB layout, and basic architecture definition under guidance from senior engineers.
• Assist in preparing and maintaining technical documentation, including design descriptions, test plans, and verification reports.
• Contribute to component selection and evaluation, with a focus on reliability and radiation‑tolerant parts.
• Participate in laboratory activities, including board bring‑up, debugging, functional testing, and data collection.
• Support radiation testing campaigns (e. g., TID, SEE), including test preparation, execution, and results analysis.
• Perform basic design trade‑off analyses (e. g., power, performance, cost) with mentorship from experienced team members.
• Collaborate with firmware/software engineers to help validate hardware functionality.
• Work with PCB designers and manufacturing partners to support board production and assembly.
• Assist in the review of designs across electrical, mechanical, and thermal domains.
• Contribute to risk identification and mitigation activities, including prototype testing and validation.
• Support system‑level testing and performance verification activities.
• Help maintain organized records of design data, test results, and lessons learned.
• Gain familiarity with FPGA, digital signal processing, and communication system concepts, and support implementation tasks where applicable.
• Stay up to date with relevant technologies and standards in space electronics and radiation effects.

Qualifications & Competencies

• Bachelor’s degreein Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related discipline.
• Hands‑on experience implementingwithprocessor‑based designs.
• Basic understanding of the electronic product development lifecycle, including design, integration, and testing.
• Foundational knowledge of digital electronics and signal processing concepts.
• Familiarity with PCB design principles and introductory experience with EDA tools (e. g., Altium Designer or similar).
• Exposure to FPGA, So C, or embedded processing concepts, with a willingness to learn design workflows.
• Awareness of common mix‑signal components (e. g., ADCs, DACs) and digital interfaces (e. g., SPI, I2C, UART/Ethernet).
• Understanding of basic laboratory measurement techniques and test equipment (e. g., oscilloscopes, power supplies, spectrum analyzers).
• Interest in radiation effects on electronics and awareness of fundamental mitigation approaches.
• Basic understanding of reliability considerations and component selection for electronic designs.
• Familiarity with documenting technical work, including test procedures, results, and design notes.
• Awareness of system‑level considerations such as power, thermal, and mechanical constraints.
• Understanding of fundamental communication system concepts is a plus.
• Strong willingness to learn about space industry practices, standards, and technologies.
• Good analytical thinking and problem‑solving skills, with attention to detail.
• Strong teamwork and communication skills, with the ability to learn from and support senior engineers.
• Other Key Requirements / Comments
• The candidate must be eligible for a “SECRET” security clearance, in accordance with the national regulations as well as EU/ESA/NATO equivalents
• Willing to work at least 60% onsite from office
• Travel as required for project realization purposes
