Join our team and build the future of space technology
We are expanding our team at Alén Space and are looking for an Electrical Engineer – Interfaces & Harness Design with passion for what you do, talented, and experienced. You will join our Space Missions area within the Communications & Data Handling (C&DH) team. The selected candidate will be responsible for defining, specifying, and verifying communication and data interfaces across the satellite platform, as well as supporting the electrical architecture and interfacing with the ground segment.
What you will be doing
* Selection and definition of onboard communication subsystems (OBCs, TTC modules, radios, antennas, etc.).
* Definition of the logical architecture, including data buses, protocols, and internal communications structure.
* Specification of the electrical architecture, including power interfaces, grounding schemes, and subsystem connectivity.
* Preparation of Interface Control Documents (ICDs) to ensure compatibility across systems.
* Specification of harnessing and connector layouts in collaboration with mechanical and system engineering.
* Contribution to space-to-ground communication planning, including telemetry/downlink strategy and data routing.
* Supporting ground segment definition to ensure compatibility with TTC equipment and mission needs.
* Contribution to orbit-spectrum coordination activities and support in ITU-related documentation.
* Performing and validating link budgets to ensure RF performance and coverage.
What do we need in our team
* Degree in Telecommunications Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or related fields.
* At least 2 years of relevant experience in:
* OBCs, TTC subsystems, radios, antennas, and satellite communications.
* Data buses and communication protocols (CAN, I²C, UART, SPI, etc.).
* Electrical design, power interfaces, grounding, and EMC considerations.
* Familiarity with interface definition and documentation (ICDs).
* Knowledge of RF concepts and ability to work on link budgets.
* Ability to collaborate across disciplines, communicate clearly, and document technical work.
* Fluent English, written and spoken.
Valuable knowledge:
* Experience with small satellite platforms or cubesats.
* Knowledge of ECSS standards.
* Familiarity with spectrum regulations and ITU filing processes.
* Experience in hardware procurement or specification of EGSE and electrical test setups.
Candidate qualifications and skills
* Work remotely for a percentage of time to be agreed upon with the Area Manager.
* Flexible start/finish times; reduced intensive working hours on Fridays and in summer, Monday to Friday.
* Competitive compensation with ongoing reviews, flexible compensation.
