You will collaborate with diverse sets of engineers and project managers to facilitate trade-offs and mature system architectures and designs. The end goal is a technical solution that balances customer and internal needs and meets all performance requirements.

Given an anticipated high response to this opportunity, we will only be leaving applications open until 5pm Wednesday 2nd September. We will then send candidates who meet the essential requirements an exercise to complete, which will need to be returned within a week (9th September). Interviews will then be scheduled following a review of the exercise outputs. If you are unable to commit to this timeline, please do consider whether this is the right time to apply.

We are unable to provide visa sponsorship for this position, so applicants must have existing right-to-work in the UK.

Use discussion with subject-matter experts and their analysis results to derive technical risks at mission and system levels
Communicate issues and risks effectively to other technical stakeholders such that everyone is on the same page of task schedule and scope

Essential Skills

A university degree in engineering, physics, maths or other relevant technical discipline
The ability to explain technical issues to both technical non-experts (in a given domain) and non-technical project stakeholders
The ability to comfortably and clearly speak about technical topics in front of engineers and project managers
A knack for seeing the bigger picture in a technical project while still keeping a handle on the most important details
Good organisation of tasks, details, and notes leading to clear thinking on complex technical problems that need many people to solve

Desirable skills

1+ years’ experience of space system engineering or engineering of similarly complex systems (can be through internships, work placements, hands-on university projects, etc.)
Working knowledge of one or more satellite subsystems (avionics, command and data handling, power, thermal, GNC, AOCS, etc.)
Exposure to requirements engineering, verification planning, interface control or configuration-controlled technical documentation.
Good knowledge of orbital mechanics and spaceflight dynamics.
Familiarity with spacecraft AIT, system functional testing, spacecraft test beds or TMTC.
Interest in or exposure to mission operations, commissioning or operational preparation.

Benefits

Competitive base salary
Opportunity to work with a highly talented, diverse & dynamic international team with cutting edge technology
Flexible working around core hours in a friendly and supportive environment
Optional 9/75 working pattern
Hybrid working available (dependent on individual role requirements)

About Astroscale

Founded in 2013, Astroscale is the global leader in on-orbit servicing, dedicated to the secure and sustainable development of space for the benefit of future generations. We provide trusted and value-added solutions for government and commercial clients from their geography of choice, to drive the long-term, circular space economy. Astroscale is also collaborating with government and commercial stakeholders to develop norms, regulations, and incentives that promote the sustainable growth of space.

Since our first successful launch in March 2021, Astroscale has proven rendezvous and proximity operations technologies in orbit during the ELSA-d and ADRAS-J missions, establishing the company as a leader in on-orbit servicing. Astroscale spacecraft have been selected for pioneering missions with JAXA, the U.S. Space Force, the European Space Agency, the UK Space Agency, and Eutelsat OneWeb. As more satellite operators adopt on-orbit servicing to routinely inspect, service and remove, the potential of a circular space economy — and a future of no waste in space — is being unlocked.

At Astroscale we pride ourselves on our inclusive culture. Our essential criteria are based solely on the requirements necessary to perform the role. If any criteria could present a barrier, we are open to discussing reasonable adjustments and are committed to ensuring an inclusive recruitment process. Astrsocale is also open to supporting job share arrangements, to further our flexible working offering.

Note to recruitment agencies: Astroscale operates a preferred Supplier List, and we do not accept unsolicited agency approaches. Please do not forward candidate CVs or details in response to this advert, or to any Astroscale employee.
