As a Systems Engineer, you will support the space engineering team in the technical execution of our spacecraft missions and ground segment infrastructure. You will work closely with senior engineers and the System Architect to develop, verify, and maintain our SmallSat platforms, contributing hands-on to the end-to-end mission lifecycle.

This is a technical, collaborative role focused on engineering execution, execution of verification plans, and interface control. It does not require team leadership or management responsibilities, allowing you to focus on developing your technical expertise in systems engineering under the guidance of senior mentors., * Support System Baseline Maintenance: Assist in establishing and maintaining the system technical baseline, documenting changes, anomalies, and non-conformances through formal configuration control.

 * Verification & Testing (VCD/AIT): Maintain the Verification Control Document (VCD) baseline and support the coordination of AIT, AIV, and qualification activities at both system and subsystem levels, including hands-on launch campaign support.
 * Interface Tracking: Support the management of technical interdependencies and interface compatibility across the mission ecosystem (Space, Ground, Launch, and User Segments).
 * Technical Documentation: Contribute to the creation and maintenance of mission-level technical interface documentation, spacecraft user manuals, and technical specifications.
 * Analyses & Trade-offs: Perform technical analyses, trade-off studies, and assist in risk management activities (FMEA/FDIR) under the supervision of the System Architect.
