The posting

As a Spacecraft Electronics Engineer, you will be designing and integrating custom components for our next-generation satellite platform.

This includes the design of PCBAs; the selection, evaluation, and integration of various off-the-shelf components and custom sensors, radios, and power systems; making last-minute fixes; working with third-party fabricators and assemblers; and interfacing with the software and mechanical teams. You may also participate in guiding software and mechanical design and may be involved at any stage of development including proof of concept to new product introduction.

What You’ll Do:

  • Electrical Design of Spacecraft electronics including requirement gathering, architecture and detailed design.
  • Component selection and circuit level design and simulation where required.
  • Schematic capture and PCB Layout using Altium Designer.
  • Power supply and power monitoring circuit design
  • Design verification through circuit simulations, including worst-case analysis
  • Signal and Power integrity simulation and analysis
  • Peer review of schematics and layouts
  • Board bring-up, validation and debugging
  • Assisting the validation and qualification process for testing new and existing systems.

Key Skills:

  • Electronics theory, including component knowledge and analogue and digital circuitry expertise.
  • Board design including schematic capture, PCB layout using any enterprise software (Altium preferred) with focus on Design for manufacturing (DFM) principles.
  • Experience with FPGA (Zynq MPSoC/RFSoC or similar platform) based designs for high speed and high data-rate digital signal processing applications.
  • Strong knowledge of High-speed digital layout design practices (matched impedance, stack up and manufacturing restrictions) and experience using SI tools.
  • Experience with digital communication interfaces (I2C, SPI, CAN, UART, USB, RS485, RS422, SpaceWire, PCIe, Gbit Ethernet).
  • Experience with Rigid, Flex and Rigid-Flex PCB design.
  • Strong debugging experience and fault identification.
  • Experience with lab equipment including oscilloscopes, logic analysers, multimeters, spectrum analyzers, VNAs, etc.

Preferred Skills:

  • Design for IPC-6012DS Class 3A or ECSS-Q-ST-70-12C/60C compliance
  • Experienced in High power electronic design and thermal management.
  • SI tools experience like Hyperlynx or equivalent.
  • Experience with environmental and component reliability requirements for space application
  • Design for FPGA Programming (Verilog, VHDL)
  • Embedded and DSP programming (C/C++, Microcontrollers, DSP)
  • Design experience for EMI/EMC, along with use of shields and enclosures.
  • Design experience with RF electronics.

This is a full-time position requiring on-site presence at our office location in Munich.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
