R&D Engineer (m/f/d)

Introduction

Do you want to help shape the future of space technology and work on research and development technology projects as well as hardware that will fly into orbit? Are you driven by hands-on engineering challenges?

Then, LSS is the right place for you!

At LSS, we’re pioneers in European deployable antenna reflector technologies, serving both domestic and international missions. We’re looking for a passionate innovative and creative R&D Engineer (m/f/d) to join our growing team.

Tasks

In this role, you’ll contribute across the full development cycle — from concept design and analysis to prototyping, integration, and testing. You’ll work closely with experts in a dynamic, collaborative environment, turning innovative ideas into flight-ready solutions. If you’re ready to push the boundaries of engineering and play a direct role in advancing space exploration, we’d love to hear from you.

• Design & Development : Create and optimize concepts for deployable antenna reflectors and other spacecraft subsystems.
• Modeling & Analysis : Perform structural, thermal, and mechanical simulations to validate designs under launch and space conditions.
• Prototyping & Testing : Build and evaluate prototypes, conduct laboratory and environmental testing (vibration, thermal vacuum, deployment tests).
• Materials & Processes Research : Investigate and qualify new materials, manufacturing methods, and space-grade technologies.
• Integration Support : Collaborate with AIT teams to transition R&D results into flight hardware and ensure manufacturability.
• Documentation & Reporting : Prepare technical documentation, test reports, and presentations for internal reviews and customer projects.
• Collaboration : Work closely with multidisciplinary teams (mechanical, RF, systems, manufacturing) and external partners.
