Spacecraft Avionics and Software Lead (m/f/d)

Your mission

As a member of our Avionics & Software team in Munich, Germany you will own the spacecraft-level avionics & software domain: from architecture and make/buy choices, through proposal support and supplier management, to implementation leadership (flight software, mode/state machines, data handling, RF/TT&C).

You will work closely with our Systems Architects, as well as other domains to shape the future spacecraft.

Your role will include

• Define platform avionics architecture: OBC, data handling buses (SpaceWire/CAN/100BASE‑T1), time sync (PPS/PTP/1588), mass memory, I/O, power interfaces, RTU strategy
• Own RF/TT&C chain high-level definition (transceiver/TTC units, antennas, link budgets, waveform/SDR choices, ground compatibility)
• Contribute to make/buy decisions on core platform level for OBC, SDR/TT&C, mass memory, DAQ/RTUs, including supplier trade studies, life‑cycle & non‑recurring impacts, and obsolescence risk
• Set flight software platform direction
• Define and implement mode/state machine architectures, from fluidic systems to orbital vehicles level
• Define interfaces with GNC (data products, timing/latency budgets, execution models) and RPOD logic
• Lead avionics/software sections in proposals: requirements, architecture diagrams, ICDs, work packages, effort & risk, schedule, partner scopes
• Contribute to MBSE models and ways of working
• Define model philosophies for spacecraft platforms
• Support integration and verification activities on subsystem and system level
• Integration & Production support
• Support with other relevant ad‑hoc activities.

Your profile

• 2+ years in spacecraft avionics and software engineering
• Knowledge of avionics elements, RF/TT&C integration, flight SW
• Experience of verification including SiL and HiL
• Basic knowledge of Systems Engineering practices including Requirements Engineering, ICDs; ECSS
• Passion for creating a new spaceflight paradigm (space logistics & orbital refuelling)
• Strong analytical and communication skills
• Accountable with an agile mindset
• Nice to haves:
• RPOD / autonomy exposure
• Fluidic systems sequencing

We offer

• Immediate and flexible start
• Permanent full‑time position (40 h/week)
• 30 days annual vacation and flexible working hours
• Attractive salary package
• Bike leasing, EGYM Wellpass and subsidy for the Deutschlandticket
• Complimentary beverages, company events, and professional development opportunities
