Job Summary

As an Electronics Development Engineer for Space Systems, you will be responsible for the entire development lifecycle of mixed-signal electronic modules used to control complex laser systems in space applications. Your daily tasks will involve defining requirements, designing electronic system architectures, and developing multilayer PCBs with impedance-controlled lines for high-frequency and digital signals. You will work closely with mechanics, software, and systems engineering teams to ensure hardware meets rigorous standards such as IPC, MIL, and ECSS. This role is highly practical, involving the commissioning, verification, and performance analysis of modules, as well as systematic troubleshooting in a laboratory environment. What makes this position unique is the opportunity to work on Nobel Prize-winning frequency comb technology for high-precision applications like quantum computing and optical clocks. You will benefit from a high degree of creative freedom, a collaborative 'Du' culture, and the chance to see your designs transition from prototypes to qualified flight hardware.
