Top Tech Jobs & Startup Jobs

Contribute to Galileo navigation system engineering, including requirements definition and flow-down, segment requirements, simulator development, infrastructure trade-off analyses, system reviews, and technical documentation. The role supports Galileo Second Generation in coordination with ESA, contractors, stakeholders, and security experts. It requires relocation to the Netherlands and offers hybrid work at ESTEC.

Designs, analyzes, and verifies RF, microwave, and millimetre-wave payloads for space-based remote sensing, focusing on SAR performance modeling and ELINT/SIGINT signal processing. Responsibilities include radar algorithm simulation, emitter detection and geolocation, payload architecture, requirements definition, technology assessment, laboratory work, R&D management, industrial activity monitoring, and support for ESA project reviews and procurement evaluations.

Provide systems engineering support for small-satellite in-orbit technology demonstration projects across all phases: requirements management, architecture and subsystem design, trade studies, budgets, verification/qualification, risk mitigation, launch/LEOP support, industrial monitoring, and interfacing with external stakeholders and operations.

Administer and evolve the IBM Rational DOORS requirements environment for European space programs. Ensure configuration control, traceability, compliance, and data integrity; develop DOORS scripts/templates and reporting (IBM PUB); support interfaces with DMS; collaborate with agencies, contractors, and engineering teams; provide user support, training, and continuous process improvement.

Provide independent cost estimates and risk margins for ESA phases, support tender evaluations and project reviews, develop and maintain cost databases and tools, contribute to cost data gathering, exploratory analysis, predictive cost models, and visualizations to support studies and negotiations.

Support ESA at ESTEC on satellite telecommunication system analysis and simulations: prepare tenders, manage industrial R&D, perform hands-on technical analyses, develop SATCOM technology roadmaps, and support ESA-wide telecom projects. Requires SATCOM systems knowledge, 3GPP 5G expertise, simulation experience, programming skills, security clearance eligibility, and relocation to the Netherlands.

Provide technical support for ESA microelectronics projects (ASICs, FPGAs, IP cores): requirements, design review, verification, validation and qualification. Support R&D, IP Cores service, laboratory setup and testing, procurement advice, documentation, and knowledge transfer. Work on-site at ESTEC in the Netherlands; must be eligible for EU security clearance and relocate.

Install, configure and maintain Linux workstation/server environments and containerised simulation components. Operate Kubernetes clusters, integrate C++/Java/Python simulation components, implement logging/KPI pipelines, support multi-node simulation demos, interface with SDR/RF and hardware-in-the-loop setups, debug distributed simulation issues, and document procedures and baselines.

Lead and coordinate early-phase payload and system studies: prepare and support CDF studies and mission reviews, maintain payload/interface requirements and baselines, supervise functional analysis and MBSE activities, support RAMS/FDIR and mission analysis, coordinate study teams and interfacing directorates, report study status, and liaise on technology development and science traceability.
