Avionics Architect

We are looking for an Avionics Architect to define and lead the avionics architecture for our spacecraft, working from early trade studies through to flight-ready implementation. You will translate spacecraft requirements (defined and driven by Systems Engineering) into a robust and scalable avionics design.

• Own the spacecraft avionics architecture
• Translate system requirements into technical design decisions
• Manage technical and performance budgets
• Conduct technical trade studies (e.g. COTS vs. custom solutions, radiation tolerance, redundancy)
• Review unit designs within your area of expertise
• Own ICDs and interfaces (internal and external partners), including pinouts, grounding, etc.
• Lead avionics activities in project reviews (SRR, PDR, CDR, QR)

• 5+ years of experience in avionics, embedded systems, or electronics engineering within New Space companies
• Proven experience owning the architecture of complex embedded/electronic systems
• Strong understanding of:
  • Digital electronics and embedded systems (MCUs, FPGAs, memory, peripherals)
  • Interfaces and protocols (e.g. CAN, Ethernet, Space Wire, SPI, I2C, UART, PUS, CCSDS)
  • Requirements and interface documentation (ICDs), as well as configuration management
  • Verification and test strategies
• Ability to communicate clearly and make sound trade-offs under constraints (mass, power, schedule, cost, reliability)
• Hands‑on mindset when needed (e.g. design reviews, operational support)
• Fluent English (written and spoken)

• Experience with space systems (Cube Sats / Small Sats) and relevant standards (ECSS, NASA practices)
• Understanding of radiation effects (TID, SEE) and rad‑tolerant design approaches
• EMC/EMI design and testing experience
• Experience with:
  • RTOS or embedded Linux
  • Safety concepts (FMEA, fault trees)
  • Spacecraft data handling and FDIR
  • PUS communication standards
• Familiarity with typical subsystem interfaces (ADCS sensors/actuators, EPS, TT&C radios, payloads)
• Familiarity with the SpaceVPX standard

Work in a friendly, well‑coordinated team of enthusiasts

Stable employment in a modern company with an established market position

Attractive salary and benefits package (e.g., private medical care, sports card)

Opportunities for professional development and participation in innovative projects
