We are developing the next generation of satellites that are autonomous, connected, and reconfigurable. Our software-defined platforms are optimized for high data transfer capacity, making them ideal for a wide range of applications, such as Earth observation, telecommunications, and navigation.

We are a rapidly growing company with a strong team of engineers and scientists. We are headquartered in Helsinki, Finland, We are looking for innovative and passionate people to join us on our mission to shape the future of the space economy.

Here are some of the things we do:

• Design and manufacture small satellites
• Integrate satellites with launch and ground segment services
• Provide mission and spacecraft design services
• Develop software technologies for satellite manufacturing
• Conduct research and development in the field of space technology

We are looking for a Mechanical / Aerospace Engineer with experience in satellite projects with electric propulsion to join our team, This is a challenging but rewarding role that will give you the opportunity to make a real difference in the space industry. You will be responsible for the design, analysis, and integration of the electric propulsion system for our next generation of satellites.

You will be responsible for;

• Mission requirements analysis: This is where you will get to be a part of the team that defines the mission for the satellite. You will be responsible for understanding the needs of the customer and translating those needs into technical requirements.
• Physical Architecture trade-off analysis: This is where you will get to explore different design options for the satellite. You will need to consider factors such as the mission requirements, the available technologies, and the budget.
• Launch and Flight Configuration trade-off analysis: This is where you will get to determine how the satellite will be launched and operated in space. You will need to consider factors such as the launch vehicle, the orbit, and the environment in space.
• Mass budget, CoG Height, Alignment, Moments of Inertia and Structural Analysis: This is where you will get to ensure that the satellite is structurally sound and that it can withstand the forces of launch and space. You will need to consider factors such as the materials, the structure, and the loads.
• Field of view and motion mechanism analysis: This is where you will get to determine how the satellite will be able to see its target. You will need to consider factors such as the sensors, the optics, and the mechanisms.
• Harness and waveguide routing analysis (including Cut-Outs definition): This is where you will get to ensure that the electrical and optical cables are routed in a way that minimizes interference and maximizes performance. You will need to consider factors such as the layout of the satellite, the components, and the environment in space.
• Hardware requirement specification support based on the previous analysis (panels, HP, Insert, brackets, supports, etc.): This is where you will get to work with vendors to select the components that will be used in the satellite. You will need to ensure that the components meet the requirements that you have defined.
• Vendors contact and components pre-selection: This is where you will get to interact with vendors and select the components that will be used in the satellite. You will need to negotiate prices and terms, and ensure that the components meet the requirements.
• AIT Flow and GSE trade-off analysis: This is where you will get to determine how the satellite will be assembled, integrated, and tested. You will need to consider factors such as the facilities, the equipment, and the schedule.
• System Alignment Strategy: This is where you will get to develop a plan for aligning the satellite's components. You will need to consider factors such as the tolerances, the environment, and the methods.
• AIT Accessibility trade-off analysis: This is where you will get to determine how the satellite will be accessible for maintenance and repair. You will need to consider factors such as the layout of the satellite, the components, and the environment in space.
• Subsystem documentation shall be performed based on the architecture, analysis and units: This is where you will get to document the design of the satellite. You will need to ensure that the documentation is clear, concise, and complete.

Here are some of the benefits of working here;

• Competitive salary and benefits package
• Challenging but rewarding work environment
• Opportunity to make a real difference in the space industry
• Chance to work with a talented and dedicated team of engineers and scientists
• Flexible work hours and remote work options
• Collaborative and supportive work culture
• Opportunity to grow your career and develop new skills

We are looking for someone who is:

• Highly motivated and results-oriented
• Creative and innovative
• Team player with excellent communication and interpersonal skills
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills
• Experience with satellite design and analysis
• Experience with electric propulsion systems
• Fluent in written and spoken English
