We are looking for a candidate to join our small design team to develop, test, qualify and initialise manufacture of a deepspace flight and payload computational platform. 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 the responsibility for the development and qualification of an onboard computer subsystem for this stack. The operation will aim to blend 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 flight computer engineering Good knowledge of embedded computational platforms architectures Practical experience in electronics design, build management, rework, and hardware testing Proficient English language skills Strongly valued skills Familiarity with existing spacecraft flight computer systems OBC, CDHS or OBHD subystems Understanding of space hardware quality standards and the space qualification process Working knowledge of commercial processors e.g. Cortex, microcontrollers and FPGAs Understanding of the space environment, particularly radiation and its effects Experience with memory technologies, management and implementation Working knowledge of encryption techniques and remote node security Past work on computational hardware and software on spacecraft Competent software development skills C, embedded C, VHDL andor Python Buildfortest design, and hardwaresoftware test campaign development execution Buildformanufacture design experience and supplier management 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 flight computer 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 flight computer 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.
