Subsystems Engineer (m/f/d) - Data Handling Systems

OHB's spacecraft observe the Earth, relay valuable data, study the solar system, and much, much more. The avionics engineering department works at the core of each spacecraft: We make sure the spacecraft remains under control, make sure all science data is collected. We even make sure that on-board failures are automatically recovered - because in space there is no repair shop. We are constantly growing and in search of individuals who combine a sound technical background with a high level of motivation. If you like the stars and you like bits and bytes, we might just have the job for you.
