Description
Here is why you are going to love this role

As an Embedded Avionics Engineer (f/m/d) in our In-Space Manufacturing team, you sit at the interface between flight electronics, embedded software, and testing. You design or source avionics hardware, support flight software development on microcontrollers and onboard computers, and lead functional validation in the lab. Your work ensures that avionics systems are robust, testable, and aligned with European space standards.

Your daily work will consist of the following:

  • Define and maintain avionics architectures spanning hardware, firmware, and system interfaces

  • Support flight software development through hardware knowledge, code architecture input, andConOpsdefinition

  • Design avionics electronics (PCBs) or lead COTS/custom supplierselectionand trade-offs

  • Perform market research andinterface withelectronics suppliers and manufacturers

  • Write simple embedded software for breadboards, hardware bring-up, and test stands

  • Design and build test boards and electrical ground support equipment (EGSE)

  • Conduct functional electronics laboratory testing and support system integration

  • Build andmaintainlab-level wiring harnesses

  • Ensure avionics development follows ESA / ECSS standards and best practices

  • Produce clear technical documentation and test reports

  • Provide technical guidance to junior engineers and working students

The tools you will be using:

  • ECAD tools (e.g.Altium Designer or equivalent)

  • Embedded development environments (C/C++, Python for test automation)

  • Debugging tools (JTAG, logic analyzers, oscilloscopes)

  • Laboratory equipment and EGSE

  • Electronics/electrical equipment

  • Requirements and documentation tools (e.g. JAMA, Confluence, Git)

In this role you will have:

  • High level of ownership across the full avionics lifecycle, from concept to flight

  • Direct impact on novel space manufacturing and deployment technologies

  • Close collaboration between hardware and software in a lean, fast-moving startup environment

  • Opportunity to shape avionics architecture rather than maintain legacy systems

Here is what you bring to the table

  • Education: MSc in Electrical Engineering, Embedded Systems, Aerospace Engineering, Software Engineering, Mechatronics or related field

  • Professional experience in space avionics or embedded systems (not a first job)

  • Experience working on space, aerospace, or other safety-critical embedded systems

  • Proven ability to work across hardware and software domains

  • Technologies

    • PCB design (ECAD)

    • Microcontrollers and onboard computers

    • Embedded C/C++ (reading, debugging, writing simple code)

    • Electrical interfaces (SPI, I2C, UART, RS485/RS422, CAN,SpaceWire or similar)

    • Lab testing and instrumentation (e.g. LabVIEW)

  • Familiarity with ECSS standards

  • Understanding of space avionics constraints (radiation, redundancy, reliability, testing philosophy)

  • Fluent English 

Nice-to-haves: 

  • Experience with AIT or spacecraft integration campaigns

  • Experience with custom EGSE development

  • Knowledge of power electronics for space applications (egMPPTs, Solar array projects, etc.)
