Electronics Engineer

At ispace EU, we are proud to have been the first European entity legally authorized to commercialize space resources; a milestone that marks a new era in lunar exploration. Based in Luxembourg, we are designing the next generation of lunar rovers and building a team of bold thinkers ready to make history. If you're passionate about innovation and want your work to have real impact, we want to hear from you.

As an Electronics Engineer at ispace Europe, you will take technical ownership of the design, development and validation of electronic hardware for our lunar rover systems.

You will work across the complete electronics development lifecycle, from defining electronic architectures and selecting components, through schematic design and PCB development, to hardware bring up, debugging, integration and verification.

• Take end-to-end technical ownership of electronic hardware developments, from requirements definition and architecture through detailed design, manufacturing, verification and qualification.
• Lead and document electronics architecture trade-offs, design analyses and key technical decisions, balancing performance, reliability, cost, schedule and space-environment constraints.
• Design, simulate and review complex digital, mixed-signal and power electronics, including high-speed interfaces and associated signal and power integrity considerations.
• Perform and document EEE component selection and derating, considering electrical performance, reliability, radiation environment, availability, obsolescence and applicable project requirements.
• Own schematic design and PCB development activities, including component selection, stack-up definition, grounding, impedance control, EMC/EMI considerations and design-for-manufacturing and design-for-test.
• Apply robust engineering practices to ensure designs meet allocated requirements and applicable reliability, quality and environmental constraints.
• Collaborate closely with Systems, Mechanical, Thermal, Software/Firmware and other engineering disciplines to ensure robust system-level integration.

 

• Provide technical oversight of PCB fabrication and assembly, working closely with manufacturers and suppliers and resolving technical issues throughout production.
• Lead hardware bring-up, debugging and functional verification using appropriate laboratory instrumentation and test equipment.
• Perform board-level debugging and rework when required, maintaining a strong hands-on approach throughout hardware development and integration.
• Define verification approaches and develop test procedures, ensuring objective evidence and traceability against allocated requirements.
• Plan, support and follow up environmental test campaigns, including preparation, execution, anomaly investigation and closure of resulting actions.
• Support hardware/software and system-level integration activities, troubleshooting complex issues across subsystem boundaries.
• Develop scripts, test tools and automation where appropriate to improve hardware characterization, debugging, verification and test efficiency.
• Document test configurations, results, anomalies and conclusions to ensure technical traceability and support design qualification.

• Act as technical owner for assigned work packages and represent and defend the design during internal and external technical reviews.
• Independently plan and execute complex technical work, coordinating dependencies and driving activities to completion.
• Proactively identify technical risks, issues and dependencies; define mitigation plans and drive them to closure.
• Review designs, analyses and technical documentation produced by other engineers, providing constructive technical challenge and ensuring appropriate engineering rigor.
• Provide technical guidance and mentor less-experienced engineers, supporting knowledge transfer and development of engineering capabilities within the team.
• Contribute to the continuous improvement of engineering processes, design methodologies, tools, standards and lessons learned within the Electronics team.
• Produce and maintain high-quality engineering documentation, including specifications, design descriptions, analyses, technical justifications, test procedures and test reports.
