Satellite Production Technician

The role

The Satellite Production Technician will inspect, assemble, and validate electrical and mechanical subsystems for satellite integration. This role involves panel assembly, wiring harness fabrication, and structural element integration to ensure spacecraft readiness.

What you will do

• Perform inspection, assembly, and verification of electrical and mechanical subsystems and panel-level assemblies
• Execute panel assembly, module installation, and fabrication, routing, termination, and lacing of wiring harnesses
• Perform cable and connector assembly including crimping, soldering, and RF connector termination
• Carry out rework and repair of cables, harnesses, and PCB assemblies
• Ensure subsystem readiness through testing and validation procedures
• Integrate structural elements including CFRP panels, sandwich structures, and mechanical components
• Collaborate with Engineering, AIT, and Quality teams to resolve integration issues
• Monitor production progress and escalate blockers
• Support root cause analysis and non-conformance resolution
• Contribute to First Article Inspection activities and maintain accurate records

Required qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Electronics, or a related technical field
• 1+ years of hands-on experience in electrical and/or mechanical assembly, inspection, or integration within aerospace or other high-reliability environments
• Proven experience working with mechanical subsystems and structural assemblies
• Hands-on experience with composite materials (e.g. CFRP), sandwich structures, solar panels, or precision mechanical components
• Basic understanding of electrical integration principles, including module installation and wiring harness routing
• Hands-on experience with connectors, grounding, shielding, and cable types (RF, CAN, power, thermal sensors)
• Ability to interpret wiring diagrams and harness drawings
• Familiarity with manufacturing quality standards, documentation, and traceability requirements
• Experience supporting root cause analysis and non-conformance resolution
• Comfortable working in a fast-paced production environment with evolving priorities and deadlines
• Hands-on mindset with willingness to work on the shop floor
• Strong communication skills

Nice to have

• Experience with satellite structures and panel integration, including CFRP panels, sandwich structures, and RANT (radar antenna) assemblies
• Hands-on experience with full panel assembly, including fabrication, integration, and routing of RF, CAN, power, and thermal sensor cabling
• Understanding of thermal management and interfaces
• Experience with incoming inspection of composite and machined parts
• Knowledge of environmental and mechanical testing (e.g. vibration, shock, thermal vacuum)
• Familiarity with aerospace standards such as IPC, ECSS, or similar
• Experience in NewSpace or small satellite production environments
• Experience working in cleanroom environments and satellite integration flows
• Familiarity with ERP/MES systems in manufacturing

Benefits

• Continuous professional development
• Training opportunities

Before you apply

• Background Security Screening applicable (SUPO)
• Technical Interview includes a Technical Challenge
