Join us for a fresh new challenge designing hardware to fly beyond Earth orbit! We are looking for an experienced engineer who can join a small design team to develop, test, qualify and initialise manufacture a lowcost deepspace power conditioning and distribution unit. You will be an instrumental member of a small team building out a full avionics stack product. The operation is new, based in Luxembourg as a spinoff of Deep Space Industries California and Bradford Space Netherlands. Our team in Luxembourg will be kept small 10 people and will focus on the single objective of building a reliable, performing, and massoptimised flight avionics system for upcoming deepspace smallsats and landers. You would take over the lead development and qualification of a power subsystem for this stack. The operation will aim to blend of the responsible, highquality engineering practices of traditional aerospace engineering while implementing the rapid iterative development methods and dynamic workplace culture of a NewSpace style startup. Essential skills Strong background in spacecraft power systems engineering Good knowledge of power control technologies, parts, processes and manufacturers available Practical experience with electronics design, build management, rework, and testing Proficient English language skills Strongly valued Working knowledge of the space environment and spacecraft power systems topologies Understanding of space hardware quality standards and the qualification process Familiarity with voltage regulation, power switching and power measurement implementations Understanding of the nature of, and mitigation strategies for, EMI. Experience with GaN FETs for voltage shifting or load switching Past work with medium power 1001000 W control projects Working knowledge of spacecraft batteries and solar arrays Competent software development skills embedded C, VHDL andor Python Buildfortest design, and hardwaresoftware test campaign development execution Buildformanufacture design experience Familiarity with relevant industry standards e.g. ECSS IPC Ability to build and rework electronics assemblies including SMT soldering Practical experience running test campaigns TVAC, vibration, radiation, extreme temperatures Relevant CAD experience Altium or similar, and thermal FEA Key responsibilities Design, optimise, test and qualify a spacecraft power system for deep space missions Contribute to overall avionics product design and ensure subsystem interoperability Develop and deploy automated test methods and equipment Setup manufacturing processes and procedures Deliver to manufacturing stage, a performing product Manage and maintain a development workshop and tooling What we can offer in return We offer you the chance to develop a completely new type of modular power system that will enable a new class of deepspace missions. An opportunity to be a key part of exciting missions to the Moon and beyond launching in the near future. You would take on an influential role in a new, revenuegenerating company, with a mandate to focus on technical design and implementation on an aggressive development schedule featuring rapid hardware iterations. Youll work closely with a seasoned power engineer who will help to develop your skills. The position is in Luxembourg, a beautiful, cosmopolitan and welcoming country at the heart of Europe, and carries a competitive salary and performancelinked benefits Duty station Belval Luxembourg, with occasional travel needed We would usually expect candidates to have 310 years experience in relevant fields.
