Space Thermal Systems Engineer

Join our team and build the furure of space technology

The candidate will join the Systems Engineering team in the Missions area, working on various low Earth orbit (LEO) nanosatellite missions. This area is responsible for tasks related to the design and analysis of the satellite's Thermal Control Subsystem (TCS), using advanced design and analysis tools.

The selected person will participate in the detailed design of the nanosatellite's TCS, managing the implementation and testing of the thermal subsystem, ensuring that the design meets the mission requirements. Responsibilities will include system-level thermal analysis, hardware selection, planning and support for thermal vacuum tests, and supplier management. They will also collaborate with other technical teams to ensure compatibility between subsystems, optimizing the satellite's thermal/structural performance.

In addition, the candidate may provide versatile support in defining mission and technical specifications, managing technical budgets, and coordinating internal and external interfaces. They will also participate in the company’s product development projects.
