Our philosophy is to hire a small number of exceptional people with broad, deep technical capability, strong judgement, and the ability to operate autonomously.
We hire for talent, not rigid boxes. This role represents a business need, but the way it evolves will be shaped by the individual. If you've achieved what others said was impossible, or you bring a unique combination of skills that doesn't fit a traditional mould, we want to hear from you. The work you do here directly contributes to Europe's technological independence.

 * Support integration and test of ground segment hardware and software.
 * Support launch and test campaign operations from the ground segment side.
 * Maintain technical documentation in line with requirements., * A mission-driven environment with the opportunity to work on one of Europe's most consequential defence challenges, with direct impact on sovereign capability and security.

 * A culture that values clarity, integrity, and excellence, and supports people who take initiative and push boundaries responsibly.
