Electrical AIT Engineer

The role

The Electrical AIT Engineer will own the electrical and avionics side of production from integration to debugging. This person will perform satellite-level testing, system validation, and electrical functional performance for power, propulsion, GNC, GPS, and CDH/OBC systems.

What you will do

• Execute unit-level and satellite-level verification and validation campaigns.
• Lead the integration of electrical/avionics hardware with satellite subsystems.
• Test and validate the hardware/software interface.
• Develop and maintain test scripts and automation using Python.
• Act as a primary technical contact for electrical-related integration issues.
• Perform root cause analysis and coordinate with engineering teams to resolve anomalies.
• Support production readiness and design reviews.
• Contribute to and improve AIT documentation.
• Interface with Global AIT, Power/Propulsion/GNC Engineering, and Mission Operations teams.
• Drive continuous improvement initiatives in electrical integration methods and test efficiency.

Required qualifications

• 3+ years of hands-on experience in electrical/avionics integration, testing, or production of complex systems.
• Working proficiency in scripting and automation.
• Deep technical understanding of satellite electrical architectures, including power systems, propulsion, GNC, GPS, and/or CDH/OBC.
• Proven experience in multidisciplinary engineering environments with a focus on system-level validation.
• Familiarity with hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) testing, environmental testing (EMC, vibration, thermal), and configuration management processes.
• A systems engineering mindset.
• Proficient in English, both written and spoken.

Nice to have

• Experience using Atlassian Cloud (Jira, Confluence)
• Lean & Six Sigma experience
• Experience with power system EGSE, propulsion functional testing, or GNC/GPS calibration beyond routine test execution
• Ability to improve and/or write test scripts in Python
• Strong track record of enabling design-for-testability (DFT) and design-for-manufacturing (DFM)
• Proficient in Japanese, both written and spoken

Benefits

• Health insurance.
• Time for self-development, research, training, conferences, or certification schemes.
• Relocation support, where applicable (e.g., flight tickets, accommodation, relocation agency support).
• Inspiring, collaborative offices and silent workspaces.

Before you apply

• Employment is subject to applicable security screening (incl. SUPO, where required).
