The posting

Here at The Exploration Company, we are building spacecraft for humanity.

We want you as a talented System Engineer to help us in our mission by contributing to the development of next-generation in-space cryogenic systems, servicing and refueling technologies, as well as other future space systems. Our Future Projects unit conceptualizes and pre-develops new technologies, products and programs for future space applications. You will work across multiple projects and technology development activities, covering System Engineering from early mission studies through system architecture, requirements, interfaces, trade studies and technology maturation. You will work closely with an experienced System Engineer and with specialists in cryogenics, thermal, fluids, mechanical engineering and other disciplines. As your experience grows, you will progressively take ownership of broader System Engineering activities and may take responsibility for the System Engineering of specific projects or studies.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

In your capacity as a System Engineer, your role will be continuously evolving, but day to day your duties will include:

System Architecture & Requirements

- Translate mission use cases, stakeholder needs and project objectives into system requirements and engineering drivers

- Develop and maintain system-level requirements and support their flow-down to subsystem level

- Contribute to functional and physical architectures and to system decomposition

- Define and maintain system interfaces and Interface Control Documents (ICDs)

- Ensure consistency and traceability between requirements, architecture, interfaces and technical analyses

- Support the definition and evolution of project technical baselines

System Analysis & Trade Studies

- Perform system-level analyses and trade studies in collaboration with the relevant technical disciplines

- Define trade study criteria, consolidate multidisciplinary inputs and develop engineering recommendations

- Maintain system-level budgets and performance assessments (mass, power, thermal, fluids, data, etc.)

- Assess the impact of design changes on system requirements, interfaces and performance

- Develop system-level models and engineering tools where appropriate

- Support the assessment and maturation of new concepts and technologies

Multidisciplinary Engineering Coordination

- Own the consistency of interface documentation for your assigned scope, working with technical owners to resolve discrepancies

- Identify technical dependencies, open points and risks, and drive their resolution with the relevant engineering teams

- Prepare co-engineering sessions, technical workshops and trade studies for your scope, and drive the follow-up actions

- Track technical actions and support alignment between system and discipline-level activities

- Take ownership of your assigned tasks on projects, and proactively flag conflicts or priority changes to the lead System Engineer

Engineering Development & Reviews

- Contribute to early development and technology maturation activities, including Phase 0/A/B1 studies and technology demonstrators

- Support early verification and validation activities, including V&V matrices and verification approaches

- Prepare technical documentation and data packages for internal, partner and customer reviews

- Support technical reviews, RID management and closure of review actions

- Participate in technical exchanges with customers, partners and external stakeholders, as part of a team

- As you gain experience, progressively take on more responsibility for specific System Engineering activities of projects or studies

WHAT WE WOULD LOVE TO SEE FROM YOU

In the role of System Engineer, ideally, you will have the following:

- Practical experience in System Engineering activities, such as requirements engineering, system architecture, interface management, system analysis or technical trade studies

- Ability to understand and connect different engineering disciplines rather than working only within a single technical domain

- Structured engineering approach and ability to turn complex technical information into clear conclusions and recommendations

- Ability to work autonomously while knowing when coordination or escalation is required

- Ability to work collaboratively in a multidisciplinary and international engineering environment

- Ability to work across different projects and adapt to changing technical challenges and priorities

- Professional fluency in English

REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS

Education: MSc or equivalent degree in Aerospace Engineering, Systems Engineering, Mechanical Engineering or another relevant engineering discipline.

Experience: First significant professional experience in the space industry or in the development of complex multidisciplinary systems, including practical System Engineering activities. Recent graduates without professional experience are not considered for this position.

Skills and Competencies: Systems thinking, structured technical analysis, clear technical communication, autonomy, and collaboration across disciplines and borders.

NICE TO HAVE

- Experience with early development phases (Phase 0/A/B) and/or technology maturation projects

- Familiarity with ECSS System Engineering practices

- Experience with requirements management and/or MBSE tools

- Experience with cryogenic systems, propulsion, fluid systems, thermal engineering or spacecraft systems

- Basic programming or scripting capability (e.g. Python, MATLAB) for system modelling, engineering analysis or tool automation

- Experience working with industrial partners, agencies or institutional customers such as ESA

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.
