Join the Redwire Space team in developing and fielding end-to-end innovative mission critical space system solutions for next generation space architecture. At Redwire, you will work closely with customers from concept development through mission operations to ensure mission success.
ROBOTIC SYSTEMS ENGINEER
Bring Your Passion for Space!
Redwire’s Luxembourg City facility is Made for the Mission, designing and developing advanced robotic arms that enable critical operations for orbital and free-flying spacecraft. These robotic systems support a wide range of mission needs, including satellite servicing, refuelling, payload management, and in-space manufacturing. The facility’s engineering expertise also drives innovation in debris capture and other emerging on-orbit servicing applications. Through this work, the Luxembourg team is helping build the robotic infrastructure essential for a more sustainable and capable space economy.
Redwire Space Luxembourg, seeks a results-driven Senior Robotic Systems Engineer to contribute to the development of cutting-edge robotic systems. You will work alongside a diverse team through the design, implementation, and validation of space robotic subsystems, turning customer visions into technical solutions. This role involves managing workflows, technical proposals, and system requirements while ensuring the highest standards of engineering. You will serve as the technical lead, overseeing system verification, managing risk, and acting as the primary technical contact for customers and contractors. You will be responsible for "building the right thing" and "building it right". Your expertise will drive mission success from initial development through on-orbit validation.
Responsibilities:
• Technical Leadership: Lead the end-to-end development of robotic systems, ensuring technical excellence from concept to deployment.
• Requirements Management: Develop, validate, and manage system requirements, ensuring traceability across all levels.
• System Design & Architecture: Drive the system’s architecture, including CONOPS, high-level interfaces, and technical trade-offs.
• Verification & Validation: Oversee system verification, develop test plans, review test procedures, and ensure compliance with requirements.
• Risk Management: Lead technical risk identification, mitigation, and resolution throughout the project lifecycle.
• Customer Liaison: Serve as the primary technical point of contact for customers, ensuring alignment between technical teams and customer expectations.
• Documentation: Develop and maintain comprehensive program documentation for both internal use and external communication with customers and contractors.
