• Hands-on experience with small satellite programmes (Microsats, Cubesats or similar) preferably across the full project lifecycle;
• Working knowledge of typical spacecraft subsystems (AOCS, Comms, EPS, Payloads, OBC/Software, OBDH);
• Experience in defining, managing, and verifying system-level requirements;
• Experience with industry standards (ECSS, NASA, or equivalent);
• Experience with interfacing to external clients and suppliers and reporting project progress to internal and external stakeholders;
• You must be willing and eligible to be submitted for security clearance (minimum SC).
