Ever wanted to work on real space missions but thought you needed space-sector experience to get in? You don’t.

We’re working with a fast-growing, international space technology company building high-performance electronic systems for satellites used around the world. We’re looking for a Senior Electronics Technician to take a hands-on lead role assembling, integrating, and testing advanced electronics that will fly in space.

If you’re an experienced electronics technician who's worked on advanced electronic systems, this is a great opportunity if you'd like to transition into the space industry.

• Building complex wiring harnesses and electro-mechanical assemblies
• Integrating and testing electronic systems end-to-end
• Troubleshooting at component and system level
• Working closely with engineers on cutting-edge space hardware

• Experience with embedded electronics and production test environments
• Comfortable working to detailed drawings, procedures, and quality standards
• Space experience not required – training provided

⭐ Bonus (not essential)

• Cleanroom or high-reliability manufacturing experience

Why join?

• Work on flight hardware that goes into orbit
• Learn space-grade electronics from industry experts

• Make the leap into the space sector without starting over

If you’ve mastered electronics on Earth and want to take it off-planet, we want to hear from you.
