Job Title

You'll develop and execute testing protocols, troubleshoot integration issues, and validate system performance. You will ensure that all satellite subsystems work cohesively to meet mission objectives.

Key Responsibilities

  • Satellite Assembly: Work on the assembly of satellite components, ensuring all mechanical, electrical, and electronic subsystems are correctly integrated and meet design specifications.
  • Integration Management: Manage the integration process of various subsystems, including payloads, propulsion systems, and communication systems, ensuring they function cohesively as a single unit.
  • Testing and Validation: Develop and execute comprehensive testing procedures, including functional, environmental, thermal, mechanical, and vibration tests, to validate satellite performance under operational conditions.
  • Test Procedure Development: Create detailed test and verification plans for various development stages, including subsystem and full spacecraft verification.
  • Troubleshooting and Debugging: Identify, diagnose, and resolve issues that arise during the integration and testing phases, utilizing a methodical approach to ensure all systems meet the required standards.
  • Documentation: Maintain detailed records of the assembly, integration, and testing processes, including test plans, results, and any deviations from standard procedures. Document any lessons learned and ensure compliance with industry standards.
  • Quality Assurance: Implement and uphold rigorous quality assurance protocols throughout the AIT process, ensuring the satellite meets all safety and performance criteria before launch.
  • Spacecraft Operations Support: Support spacecraft operations, including acceptance of spacecraft hardware (platform and payload), and participate in mission/service delivery as needed.

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
