Qualification Checklist:

• Master's degree in systems engineering, aerospace, mechatronics, or a related technical field.
• 3+ years professional experience across multiple engineering domains, preferably in the space sector.
• Proficiency in handling technical requirements: authoring, reviewing, and interpreting specifications.
• Strong analytical skills and experience in technical leadership or mentoring roles.

• Fluency in English (written and spoken).

  Bonus Qualifications:

• Expertise in material selection and manufacturing processes for space environments.
• Familiarity with relevant standards and frameworks (e.g., ECSS, ISO 15288, NASA GEVS).
• Experience with MBSE in active development projects and hybrid system development approaches.

Why join us?:

• Accelerate your personal growth by joining a fast-moving space-tech start-up.
• Play a key role in shaping company strategy and scaling an innovative aerospace venture.
• Join a supportive, ambitious team with room to grow as we scale together.
• Collaborate with global partners and work hands-on with cutting-edge technologies.
