Responsibilities:

• Lead high-speed digital design, including schematic capture, layout, and Design for Manufacturability (DFM).
• Perform critical pre- and post-layout Signal Integrity (SI), Power Integrity (PI), and thermal simulations.
• Collaborate with architects to define board-level requirements and high-speed interfaces (DDR, PCIe, SERDES).
• Select space-qualified components, balancing radiation tolerance with obsolescence management.
• Drive board bring-up and functional testing, troubleshooting issues during environmental qualification.
• Interface with manufacturers and assembly houses to ensure strict compliance with space-grade standards.
• Prepare documentation and lead technical presentations for Preliminary and Critical Design Reviews (PDR/CDR).

Skills/Must Have:

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical/Electronics Engineering.
• 5+ years experience in high-speed digital PCB design, ideally within the aerospace or space sector.
• Proficiency with professional ECAD suites (Altium Designer, Cadence Allegro, or Mentor Graphics).
• Deep understanding of impedance control, differential pair routing, and FPGA/microprocessor-based designs.
• Familiarity with radiation-hardened electronics and standards such as ECSS or IPC Class 3.
• Hands-on experience with oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, TDR, and EMC/EMI testing.
• Must be eligible for "SECRET" level security clearance (EU/ESA/NATO equivalents).

Desirable Skills:

• Experience with High-Density Interconnect (HDI) design for space applications.
• Prior involvement in NGSO or MEO constellation programs.
• Knowledge of advanced thermal management techniques for high-power digital boards.

Benefits:

• Hybrid Working Model, flexible onsite presence (minimum 60% onsite).
• Opportunities to grow within a pioneering aerospace team internalizing its supply chain.
• Competitive salary and benefits aligned with senior aerospace engineering roles.
• Professional Development: Exposure to state-of-the-art testing and manufacturing environments.
• Contribute to a global NGSO constellation providing secure, high-speed broadband.
• Own everything from schematic capture and layout to simulation, board bring-up, and environmental qualification.
• Work within a cutting-edge integration facility focused on proprietary, software-defined payloads.

Salary:

• €100,000
