Smart Manufacturing Engineer, SW & Electronics

The role

You will design and own Electrical Ground Support Equipment (EGSE) and satellite-level test systems. This role involves combining electronics, embedded software, and automation to support AIT and Production teams.

What you will do

• Support AIT and Production teams in running and troubleshooting RF, electronics and satellite-level test setups.
• Design, develop and maintain EGSE systems combining electronics, embedded software and Python-based test automation.
• Capture requirements and define architectures for new test systems.
• Implement and debug embedded C/C++ code on ARM-based MCUs.
• Design or adapt electronics for EGSE including schematics, interfaces, power, and measurement paths.
• Use Python and tools like PyVISA to automate instruments and improve test workflows.
• Write clear, maintainable documentation and user guides.
• Contribute to improving existing legacy test setups.
• Collaborate closely with other Smart Manufacturing engineers.

Required qualifications

• 5+ years of experience in electronics / embedded systems / test development.
• Hands-on experience with ARM-based MCUs (e.g. STM32 or TI).
• Embedded C/C++ development and debugging.
• Practical experience designing or modifying electronics for test or control.
• Strong Python skills for test automation, scripting and instrument control.
• Familiarity with Altium Designer (or similar) for PCB design.
• Comfortable using common lab and RF test equipment such as oscilloscopes, PSUs, multimeters, power loads, VNAs and spectrum analyzers.
• Ability to work onsite in Espoo in labs and production areas.
• Strong communication and documentation skills.
• Collaborative mindset.
• Experience with satellite or spacecraft EGSE, nanosatellites or other space/aerospace test systems.

Nice to have

• Exposure to RF test setups (antennas, payloads, RF front-ends) beyond the basic use of the instruments.
• Experience in automation, robotics or similar domains where HW+FW+SW test systems are common.
• Familiarity with KiCad, STM32CubeIDE, GCC/GDB or similar toolchains.
• Experience developing and standardizing test setups, including documentation and process improvements.

Benefits

• Continuous professional development
• Training opportunities

Before you apply

• Employment is subject to applicable security screening (incl. SUPO, where required).
• TA screen
• Hiring manager interview
• Technical interview + take-home task
• Final onsite interviews
