Electronics Technician - Space & Satellite Systems

You will play a hands-on role supporting the assembly, integration and testing of flight-quality electronic hardware, harnesses and propulsion subsystems used within advanced spacecraft platforms. Working closely with electronics, software, systems and spacecraft engineers, you will contribute across the full hardware lifecycle - from board assembly and cable harnessing through to environmental testing and spacecraft integration activities.

The successful candidate will ideally come from the space or satellite sector and have previous experience supporting LEO satellite, spacecraft, propulsion or avionics programmes., * Assemble, rework and inspect electronic boards to IPC-A-610 Class 3 standards

• Build and terminate wiring harnesses and cable assemblies to IPC/WHMA-A-620 standards
• Perform soldering, crimping, cable lacing and connector assembly activities
• Interpret schematics, wiring diagrams, mechanical drawings and assembly procedures
• Maintain detailed build records, test logs and hardware traceability documentation
• Support Assembly, Integration & Test (AIT) activities on spacecraft and electronic systems
• Build mechanical and electrical test setups from engineering drawings and procedures
• Operate and maintain lab equipment including oscilloscopes, multimeters, DAQ systems, power supplies and electronic loads
• Support functional, environmental and performance testing of electronic and propulsion hardware
• Follow strict ESD and cleanroom working practices where required

• Previous experience as an Electronics Technician, AIT Technician, Avionics Technician or similar within the space or satellite industry
• Proven experience working on satellite, spacecraft or LEO-related hardware programmes
• IPC-A-610 Class 3 certification or demonstrable equivalent experience
