To pursue our ambitious vision, we are looking for a Senior Power Test Engineer. In this role, you will build the test infrastructure — hardware, software, and methods — that qualifies our batteries and power electronics for flight.

Responsibilities

  • Design and build the test benches for battery cells, packs, BMS subsystems and power converters: fixtures, instrumentation, power and safety infrastructure.
  • Automate the test benches: test sequencing, instrument control, data acquisition, and data processing pipelines.
  • Implement mission‑representative test scenarios on the benches: orbital charge/discharge profiles, eclipse cycling, and thermal environments, based on use cases provided by the design team — no prior space background needed.
  • Define and run qualification campaigns to get our hardware ready for flight: environmental testing (thermal, thermal‑vacuum, vibration) and functional verification toward flight acceptance.
  • Operate and develop the in‑house cell testing laboratory: cyclers, thermal chambers, safety infrastructure, lab processes, and interaction with equipment suppliers.

Qualifications

  • Professional engineering education (MSc or equivalent) in electrical engineering / electronics, with 5+ years of hands‑on test engineering experience.
  • Experience testing batteries or power electronics: cyclers, electronic loads, power supplies, power analyzers, thermal chambers.
  • Test automation and scripting skills (Python or similar): instrument control, data acquisition, data analysis.
  • Solid electronics fundamentals: measurement techniques, sensing, wiring, grounding, and safe practices around high currents and voltages.
  • Autonomy in the lab: oscilloscopes, differential/isolated probes, power analyzers, electronic loads.
  • Strong analytical skills, proactive attitude, excellent interpersonal skills and unbounded curiosity.
  • You enjoy owning your scope end‑to‑end.
  • Professional level English — further languages welcome.

Nice to Have

  • Experience in space, aerospace, automotive, high‑volume consumer electronics, or other constrained industries.
  • Understanding of Li‑ion cell behavior: aging mechanisms, safety, and characterization methods (ACIR/DCIR, EIS, RPT‑based protocols).
  • Experience with environmental testing: thermal‑vacuum, vibration, shock.
  • Experience with power electronics testing.
  • Experience with databases and data pipelines.
  • Familiarity with LabVIEW/TestStand or equivalent test frameworks.

Benefits

  • Your work will fly: contribute directly to the future of space exploration and Sustainable Space.
  • Access to cutting‑edge facilities and development opportunities in the heart of the European space industry.
  • A steep personal development path, working alongside world‑class aerospace engineers.
  • Equity package and competitive compensation.
  • A highly talented, dynamic, and international team.
