Electronics Engineer – Satellite Manufacturing (AIT Production)

Aim high, go beyond!

At Open Cosmos we are solving the world’s biggest challenges from space, providing businesses, governments and researchers access to more readily available information than ever before - ready for the challenge?

Working in our Chief Operating Office (COO)

Our COO Teams are the engine that powers Open Cosmos’ operations.

This division brings together mission management, supply chain, and quality & product assurance to make sure every mission is delivered smoothly, reliably, and to the highest standards.

They turn plans into action, keeping us efficient and mission-ready at all times.

The AIT team is at the heart of turning ideas into real, orbit-ready satellites.

They’re the workshop where Open Cosmos missions come to life — taking designs from paper to physical hardware.

From assembling delicate electronic boards to fitting structural panels, wiring harnesses, and payloads, AIT ensures everything fits and functions flawlessly.

They run rigorous testing — vibration, thermal vacuum, functional, and performance checks — to make sure each satellite can survive the extreme conditions of launch and space.

It’s hands-on, fast-paced, and mission-critical - it doesn’t get much cooler than this!

In this role as an Electronics Engineer you will test and improve the electronic assemblies that go into our satellites, working hands-on with production teams to make sure our hardware is reliable, manufacturable and ready for space.

You will:

Integrate and validate electronic assemblies used in satellite manufacturing.

Support new product introduction and day-to-day production activities.

Develop and run test procedures, validation setups and diagnostic tools.

Troubleshoot and repair PCBs and electronic systems during build and test.

Work closely with Production, Manufacturing Engineering and Test to apply design for manufacturability and testability.

Analyse production and test data to identify issues and drive improvements.

Create and maintain electrical and test documentation, including schematics and wiring diagrams.

Work with Supply Chain and suppliers on component quality, traceability and obsolescence.
