Satellite Electrical Ground Support Equipment (EGSE) Lead Engineer

Quick Facts

Satellite Electrical Ground Support Equipment (EGSE) Lead Engineer responsible for developing and maintaining the test infrastructure used during satellite integration and verification campaigns.

Description

You will lead the development of EGSE systems used for satellite integration, testing, and validation. The role combines technical, systems, and organizational responsibilities: translate project requirements into working hardware and software, set the direction for test infrastructure, and coordinate the engineering team supporting advanced space test environments. You will collaborate with Systems Engineering, Electronics, Software, Mechanical Design, and AIT to ensure readiness for integration, functional, and environmental test campaigns.

Responsibilities

• Coordinate the team responsible for EGSE development and maintenance
• Define architecture and requirements for systems and test stations supporting satellite integration and testing
• Oversee the design, build, integration, and commissioning of EGSE hardware and software
• Ensure the test infrastructure is ready for integration, functional, and environmental test campaigns
• Collaborate with Systems Engineering, Electronics, Software, Mechanical Design, and AIT teams
• Support requirements definition, test planning, and verification activities
• Analyze and resolve technical issues arising during system integration and testing
• Develop standards, processes, and best practices for EGSE design, operation, and maintenance
• Participate in technical reviews and assess project risks
• Plan the team’s work and support engineers’ competence development

Requirements

• Higher technical education (electronics, electrical engineering, automation, mechatronics, telecommunications, aerospace/space, or related)
• Experience designing, integrating, commissioning, or maintaining complex test systems
• Practical knowledge of electronics, measurement systems, and laboratory instrumentation
• Experience creating or operating infrastructure used for testing technical systems
• Ability to read technical documentation and electrical schematics
• Experience leading technical projects or coordinating an engineering team
• Ability to work across multiple technical disciplines
• English proficiency for work in international projects

Benefits

• Lead EGSE test infrastructure for integration, verification, and qualification of satellites in major space programs
• Build modern test environments and advance EGSE capabilities
• Have a meaningful impact on how space systems are tested before launch
