Software Infrastructure Engineer (all genders)

Berlin

Full‑time

Join the Systems Integration and Verification (SIV) team to develop the software infrastructure that lets us simulate and emulate our satellites and their environments on both our Hardware‑in‑the‑Loop (HIL) and Software‑in‑the‑Loop (SIL) testbeds. You will work closely with FSW, AOCS, AIT and other engineering teams to understand our missions and to design simulation infrastructure tailored to specific mission needs.

Your Mission:

• Investigate mission‑ and system‑level needs and derive requirements for the simulation environment.
• Design and implement basic interface simulators for simple aliveness and integration tests.
• Develop full functional simulators or emulators for key subsystems to support end‑to‑end testing.
• Evaluate and integrate realistic environment simulation solutions and build the infrastructure to use them in our SIL and HIL setups.
• Integrate simulations with our continuous integration (CI) pipelines and manual test campaigns, ensuring they are reliable, reproducible and easy for other teams to use.

Your Background:

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Aerospace Engineering or related fields or equivalent work experience.
• Strong proficiency in Python, including experience with the scientific stack (e.g. NumPy, SciPy, Pandas) for implementing and analyzing simulations.
• Experience building or using simulation tools for dynamic systems (e.g. physics‑based or hardware emulation).
• Proven experience in the aerospace industry, ideally with direct exposure to flight software and hardware.
• Comfortable working in Ubuntu/Linux environments and using the command line as part of your daily workflow.
• Proficient with Git and experienced using GitLab and CI pipelines — you should be comfortable managing branches, handling merge requests, and troubleshooting CI issues independently.

Nice‑to‑have

• Experience with Basilisk or similar simulation frameworks.
• Experience integrating simulations into SIL/HIL setups or automated test environments.
• Familiarity with Docker.
• Experience with InfluxDB and Grafana.

What We Offer:

• Collaborate with a diverse multinational team crafting the next wave of cutting‑edge satellites. Embark on this exciting journey with us from the outset, leaving your indelible mark on a dynamic company and playing a direct role in shaping the future of the space industry.
• Keep your energy levels high with company‑sponsored memberships for Urban Sports Club, and a discount in public transport.
• We provide a hybrid work model along with flexible working hours, empowering you as the owner of your time management.
• Nestled in the heart of Friedrichshain, our Berlin office provides a lively and central hub easily accessible by transit. Immerse yourself in a neighborhood teeming with vibrant restaurants and year‑round cultural events.
• Enjoy the flexibility of ample vacation time, including a special company holiday on April 12th dedicated to celebrating the International Day of Human Spaceflight.

Join Reflex Aerospace and be a driving force in shaping the next era of space exploration! We look forward to your application.
