Pay & benefits

What you'll get

Real impact in space missions: Your designs will be part of high-performance satellite payloads operating in real space environments.
Technically demanding challenges: You'll work on high-speed electronics where signal integrity, power, thermal, and mechanical constraints truly matter.
End-to-end ownership: From requirements and schematic design to integration, testing, and validation. You'll see your work fly.
Autonomy and trust: You'll lead your designs with independence, supported by a team of highly skilled engineers.
Flexible working hours: Organize your time with autonomy in a culture based on responsibility and trust.
Private health insurance: Comprehensive healthcare coverage to support your wellbeing.

Requirements

What we're looking for

Strong background in high-speed electronics design: Your experience designing high-speed PCBs (including controlled impedance and multi-layer stack-ups) allows you to tackle complex signal-integrity challenges with confidence.
Ability to design complete electronic systems: You're comfortable owning the full design cycle: requirements analysis, component selection, schematic/PCB design, and coordination with mechanical and thermal constraints.
Hands-on laboratory expertise: Your ability to troubleshoot with oscilloscopes, logic analysers, and other lab equipment helps you validate designs and solve real-world issues efficiently.
Experience with ECAD tools: Working with professional ECAD software (preferably Altium Designer) enables you to create clean, manufacturable, and well-documented designs.
Communication and interface design skills Experience with high-speed protocols (PCIe, GbE, DDR, CameraLink) and low-speed buses (QSPI, I2C, UART, CAN) allows you to design robust system interfaces.
Senior-level perspective is a plus: More than 3 years of experience in high-speed electronics, multi-layer PCBs (6+ layers), version control systems (Git), or SoC/FPGA-related schematic and PCB design will help you make a strong impact from day one.
Collaborative and solution-oriented mindset: You enjoy working in teams, approaching challenges creatively, and communicating fluently in English within international technical environments.
