About the Company

A fast-growing European space technology company is shaping the future of deployable space structures. The organization specializes in the development and manufacturing of large deployable antennas and reflector systems for commercial and institutional space missions.

Your Role

As a Systems Engineer, you will take ownership of complex space antenna systems across the full engineering lifecycle — from concept and requirements definition through to integration, testing, and delivery.

You will work closely with multidisciplinary teams and play a key role in ensuring system performance, quality, and successful mission outcomes.

Your Responsibilities

• Lead system engineering activities for deployable antenna systems across all project phases
• Define, manage, and maintain system requirements and configurations (DOORS, RIVM)
• Support integration, testing, and verification of subsystems into spacecraft
• Coordinate cross-functional engineering teams (mechanical, RF, thermal, electrical)
• Drive system-level documentation and contribute to project reviews (SRR, PDR, CDR, IRR)
• Analyze system performance and implement corrective actions where required
• Collaborate with internal and external stakeholders to ensure technical alignment

Your Profile

• ~10+ years of experience in systems engineering within the space or aerospace industry
• Strong experience across the full engineering lifecycle (design → integration → testing → delivery)
• Hands-on experience with integration, testing, and verification of complex systems
• Proven expertise in requirements and configuration management (DOORS, RIVM)
• Experience working on spacecraft, antenna systems, or deployable structures
• Strong communication skills and ability to work across multidisciplinary teams
• Fluent English (minimum C1)

Nice-to-Have

• Experience with large deployable structures or antenna systems
• Exposure to ESA project reviews (SRR, PDR, CDR, IRR)
• German language skills

What You Can Expect

• Direct impact on real space missions and flight hardware
• End-to-end ownership of complex engineering systems
• A collaborative, multicultural, and fast-paced environment
• Flexible working hours with core time structure
• Modern office located in the Munich area with excellent transport links
• Strong opportunities for professional growth in a rapidly evolving space company
