Senior Space Systems Engineer

At INDRA DEIMOS, we design and deliver complete space systems for Earth observation, communications, and scientific missions. Our Systems Engineering Competence Centre leads the technical architecture of satellite platforms, from early concept to on-orbit operations. We are currently working on multiple ESA and commercial projects, applying cutting-edge technologies to shape the future of space.What's the Challenge?As a Senior Space Systems Engineer, you will play a key role in the design, development, and verification of complex spacecraft systems. You will coordinate technical activities across subsystems, define system-level requirements, and ensure architectural consistency throughout the mission lifecycle. Working closely with multidisciplinary teams, you will drive performance, reliability, and innovation across all mission phases.Your Responsibilities Will IncludeLeading the design, development, and verification of critical subsystems (OBDH, AOCS, Propulsion, Communications
