Senior System Engineer (SpaceOps) (m/f/d)

You are the person who understands where partner assumptions collide, where integration risk hides, and where architectural clarity prevents costly downstream failure.

Outcomes:

• Space, sensors, ground, software, and analytics - including partner-provided components - are integrated into a well-defined system architecture with explicit interfaces and responsibilities.
• External partners (e.g. ICEYE, sensor vendors, integrators) build to agreed system requirements, interfaces, and performance assumptions - not local optimizations.
• Integration issues between partners are identified and mitigated early through architectural decisions, interface control, and technical challenge.
• RISS - not individual partners - owns and arbitrates trade-offs across performance, latency, cost, operability, and scalability.
• The full system is validated against real mission scenarios, not just component-level acceptance criteria.
• Proven experience owning or shaping system architectures spanning multiple organizations, vendors, or consortia - with the ability to enforce coherence without direct line authority.
• Strong understanding of how constraints propagate across space, sensors, ground segment, software, data pipelines, and operations - including when components are externally developed.
• Expertise in defining system-level requirements, interfaces (ICDs), and performance budgets that enable parallel development across partners without integration failure.
• Ability to challenge partners constructively, push back on assumptions, and resolve conflicts through technical reasoning rather than hierarchy or contract language alone.
• Experience designing system-level verification and acceptance approaches that ensure partner-delivered components work together in operational reality.
• Direct contribution to sovereignty, security, and resilience
• Participation in one of Europe's most ambitious New Space projects
• Actively shape the development of a rapidly growing organization
• Entrepreneurial culture backed by a leading defense company
• Attractive, competitive compensation
