At ClearSpace, we believe in reusability, in affordability driving disruption, and that no progress is real unless it is sustainable.
Our company was founded in 2018 out of the realization that in-orbit servicing and space debris removal are vital services for the future of space exploration and operations. Today ClearSpace has assembled an expert engineering team and is leading the way toward sustainable space operations. From a garage in Switzerland, we now operate across UK and Europe, and are working with world-leading institutions and companies to bring our dream of a sustainable space ecosystem to life.
We are looking for a System Engineer to join our team who will work on both our current missions and future projects.
The Role
The successful candidate will be a key member of our Mission and Systems Team to implement the rapid delivery of a spacecraft, from architectural definition to operational support. As such, you will be a part of the team defining the satellite bus architecture for ClearSpace’s missions and will support all phases of the platform lifecycle, from conceptual phase until testing and validation. This is an exciting opportunity to work in a rapidly expanding, multi-disciplinary environment with opportunities to grow professionally and offer the chance to work outside of your discipline, if desired.
