Lead EGSE (Electrical Ground Support Equipment) Engineer for Satellite Ground Systems (m/f)

Quick Facts

• Role: Lead EGSE (Electrical Ground Support Equipment) Engineer
• Focus: Development of satellite ground test infrastructure (hardware and software)

Description

You will lead the development of EGSE systems and test facilities used for integrating, testing, and validating satellites and other space systems. The role combines technical, systems, and organizational responsibilities—turning project requirements into working hardware/software solutions, shaping the test-infrastructure roadmap, and coordinating the team developing advanced space test environments. You will also support verification planning and resolve technical issues during integration and testing.

Responsibilities

• Coordinate the engineering team responsible for EGSE development and maintenance
• Define architecture and requirements for systems and test stands supporting satellite integration and testing
• Oversee the design, build, integration, and commissioning of EGSE hardware and software
• Ensure test infrastructure readiness for integration, functional, and environmental test campaigns
• Collaborate with System Engineering, Electronics, Software, Mechanical Design, and AIT teams
• Support requirement definition, test planning, and verification activities
• Analyze and resolve technical problems 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 team work and support the development of engineers’ competencies

Requirements

• Higher technical education in relevant fields (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 lab instrumentation
• Experience creating or operating infrastructure used to test technical systems
• Ability to read technical documentation and electrical schematics
• Experience leading technical projects or coordinating an engineering team
• Ability to work at the intersection of multiple engineering disciplines
• English knowledge enabling work on international projects

Benefits

• Shape the infrastructure used for satellite integration, verification, and qualification in major space programs
• Build modern test environments and advance EGSE capabilities
• Opportunity to have a real impact on how systems are tested before reaching orbit
