Senior Electronics Engineer – High-Reliability Space Hardware (m/f/d)

About this role

We are looking for an experienced electronics engineer to help mature our electronic systems toward reliable and qualification-ready space hardware. You will join projects with existing architectures and prototype designs. Your role will be to assess these designs critically, identify gaps in reliability, EMC, verification, component selection, and failure behaviour, and drive the necessary improvements. This is a senior hands-on engineering position without immediate personnel responsibility.

As our electronics team grows, the role can develop toward broader technical responsibility. What You Will Do Assess existing electronic architectures and designs with regard to requirements, robustness, failure behaviour, testability, and future qualification needs. Identify technical risks and recommend practical design improvements. Develop and review mixed-signal and power electronics, including sensor interfaces, power distribution, protection circuits, monitoring, and actuator or valve drivers.

Translate system requirements into hardware requirements, interface definitions, design assumptions, and verification objectives. Perform circuit and subsystem analyses such as worst-case analysis, derating assessment, and electrical stress analysis. Perform electronics-related FMEA/FMECA activities and provide technical input to system-level failure and reliability analyses. Plan and execute structured hardware bring-up, debugging, robustness testing, and fault-injection testing.

Prepare EMI/EMC pre-compliance and formal test activities, including test objectives, configurations, expected results, and acceptance criteria. Select components with consideration for electrical performance, availability, lifetime, derating, failure behaviour, and future qualification constraints. Define electrical PCB layout constraints and review layouts for grounding, return paths, EMC, power integrity, signal integrity, and testability.

Document important requirements, design decisions, analyses, and verification results. Work closely with junior electronics engineers as well as software, control, mechanical, test, and system engineers. A degree in electrical engineering or a comparable technical background. Several years of hands-on experience developing and testing electronic hardware. Experience with complete electronic subsystems rather than only individual circuit blocks.
