Job Description:

Our client, a fast-growing space technology startup, is seeking a Senior Electrical Engineer (7+ years’ experience) to lead the electrical development of an advanced space-based LiDAR payload at their Berlin office. The role supports a European space agency-funded mission focused on next-generation spaceborne LiDAR systems. You will work with multidisciplinary teams in Europe and the US to adapt heritage Earth-observation LiDAR designs for beyond-LEO and deep-space environments, with ownership of the payload’s electrical, power, data, and avionics systems and their interfaces to the spacecraft bus. This is a full lifecycle position covering concept, design, AIT, qualification, and flight implementation, working closely with laser, software, mechanical, thermal, and systems engineering teams.

Job Responsibility:

  • Lead electrical, data, power, and avionics development for a space LiDAR payload
  • Adapt existing LEO LiDAR electrical designs for non-LEO missions
  • Design FPGA-based systems and associated peripherals (memory, ADC/DAC, transceivers)
  • Develop payload and LiDAR timing systems (laser/camera synchronisation and UTC)
  • Design power regulation and distribution architectures
  • Support flatsat and flight hardware build, test, and space qualification
  • Identify and mitigate electrical and radiation-related design risks
  • Produce requirements, test plans/reports, and design review material (PDR, CDR, etc.)

Requirements:

  • BSc in Electrical Engineering with 7+ years experience (or MSc/PhD with 5+)
  • Experience with space hardware electrical design and qualification campaigns
  • Strong background in power and data systems
  • Experience with spacecraft C&DH, high-speed signalling, power electronics, EMC/EMI, and grounding
  • Ability to translate system requirements into robust electrical designs

Nice to have:

Experience with LiDAR, lasers, sensors, PCB/CCA design, and radiation analysis
