Description

Your Main Responsibilities To scale our flight and test hardware, we are strengthening our in-house avionics capability. In this role, you will join a lean team with short decision paths and real ownership, helping turn requirements into robust electronics and software that advance our propulsion systems Plan, manage and conduct hardware designs for avionics modules from concept to test: capture requirements, architecture, schematic, component selection, PCB layout, manufacturing and bring-up etc. Create test plans, plan and support in Assembly integration and test of propulsion hardware. Harnessing and running bench tests on PCBs. Validate at module and system level, document results. Manage electronics and avionics projects and the development of ISPTech’s avionics lab. Plan, develop and build prototypes, manage and conduct design reviews, and reengineer existing boards for reliability, manufacturability and performance. Integrate hardware, firmware and software, define and maintain ICDs, support propulsion system integration and testing. Apply relevant standards and best practices, design for EMC, signal/power integrity, derating and radiation mitigations appropriate to mission requirements. Your Qualification At least 5 years of experience in a relevant area. Experience with supplier coordination, project management or team management. Familiar with the space industry and ideally experience with space projects. Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical/Electronics/Computer/ or a related field. Experience in building embedded systems end to end. Working knowledge of EMC design, signal/power integrity, component derating and radiation effect considerations: familiarity with relevant standards is a plus. System integration experience across hardware/firmware/software. Comfortable with ICDs, harnessing and test benches. Knowledge in C/C++ and python for firmware development, test automation and data analysis respectively. Fluent in English: proficiency in German is a plus. Our Benefits Flexible working time. Combination of working in the office, at home, and on the go Professional skills development through a broad base of responsibilities and freedom. You will be an integral part of current projects and work directly with the engineering team. An exciting work environment encompassing the whole process from the development, building and launch of space propulsion systems Engage directly and actively participate in the end-to-end development processes of an expanding New-Space start-up Contact Information About us Space business is booming: the space market is growing rapidly, new market segments are opening, and disruptive changes are taking place. As consequence of this rapid growth, the number of satellites and spacecraft is strongly increasing – and each spacecraft needs a propulsion system to perform its specific task. Here ISPTech’s propulsion technologies come into the play. Based on more than 10 years of research and development work at the German Aerospace Centre (DLR), ISPTech’s founders developed propulsion technologies that work with green (non-toxic) propellants. Our propulsion systems are characterized by a high efficiency, reliability and allow significant cost reductions. By using these advanced propulsion technologies, ISPTech will satisfy the desperate demand for affordable, green and robust propulsion technologies and propel the whole Space ecosystem. ISPTech’s relevance for the NewSpace market is backed by renowned deep tech investors (HTGF, Join Captial, Faber VC, First Momentum, Possible Ventures and others). We recently closed a €5.5M seed round.
