Electronic Engineer
The Electronic Engineer will join small design team to develop, test, qualify and initialise manufacture of modules for a deep-space avionics stack.
The team will focus on the single objective of building a reliable, performing, and mass-optimised flight avionics system for upcoming deep-space smallsats and landers. You would take the responsibility for the development and qualification of a variety of electronic modules, both digital and power, for this stack.
The operation will aim to blend the responsible, high-quality engineering practices of traditional aerospace engineering while implementing the rapid iterative development methods and dynamic workplace culture of a New-Space style start-up.
