Experienced AIV System Engineer – Build the Systems That Go to Space

Join a dedicated, internationally oriented team with a strong focus on teamwork and shared success.

As an AIV Systems Engineer you'll be involved in satellite projects entering our cleanroom facilities and you will play a crucial role in the assembly, integration, and verification of nanosatellites and microsatellites.

You’ll collaborate with multidisciplinary teams to execute test and verification campaigns, working closely with system engineering across the company. As part of a growing team, you'll also contribute to scaling and standardizing AIV processes to support our expanding project portfolio.

About the Job
The ideal candidate will be a key contributor to satellite assembly, integration, and verification activities, while also helping drive the continuous improvement of AIV processes and facilities alongside the AIV Team and Head of AIV. This role requires a proactive individual with a solid background in satellite AIV/AIT, strong organizational skills, and the ability to thrive in a multinational team.

Our AIV team, comprising engineers, technicians, and operators, values mutual respect, empathy, and collaboration. While the project pace can be demanding, we prioritize work-life balance through open communication, regular 1:1s, and a supportive team culture that encourages ownership and teamwork.

Key responsibilities include:

• Define, and help evolve and drive our AIV processes and continuous development.
• Coordinate and execute the AIV phase of GomSpace nanosatellites and microsatellites projects.
  • Troubleshooting potential criticalities related to the AIV phase (mechanical, electrical, software, AOCS).
  • Be a reference point for the Assembly, Integration and Testing phase of the satellite.
• Hands on in the assembly, integration and verification of the AIV phase of the projects.
• Collaborate with the engineering department (AOCS, Flight Software, TTMTC, System Engineering) in implementing and testing innovative design solutions.
• Work together with the product assurance team on the non-conformance handling and assist in inspections and KIPs.
• Integration and verification of satellites at launch site.

Your profile
As a person, you have excellent teamwork and communication skills especially when coordinating with engineers and specialists across disciplines. You’re a team player with high drive and initiative, who takes full ownership of your tasks and sees them through with integrity.

You thrive in a dynamic, hands-on environment and enjoy solving complex problems, including troubleshooting and root cause analysis. You’re comfortable working with EGSE/MGSE and familiar with functional and environmental testing, standards, and documentation.

Experience with Linux is a plus, and you're open to occasional on-call support during test campaigns.

Finally, you’re flexible, curious, and open to regular international travel when needed.

Qualifications

• Master’s degree in aerospace, mechanical, electrical engineering or related field
• Hands-on experience in satellite AIV and system-level testing
• Practical knowledge of environmental test standards and space industry procedures (e.g. ECSS)
• Proven ability to plan, prepare, and execute tests from concept to delivery
• Strong written and verbal communication skills in English

We prefer you haveminimum 3 years’ experience in the space domain, ideally with practical expertise from the AIV/AIT flow and knowledge and experience with satellite qualification and acceptance testing.
