About the role

ispace is seeking a highly motivated and talented Senior Systems Engineer to join the System Design Group under the Global Design directorate, responsible for the design and development of lunar landers and other transportation and/or communication/navigation platforms.

In this position, you will be assigned to one or more of ispace's projects, and join a small, international team of engineers working towards the detailed design and qualification of our first missions. Candidates with demonstrated "hands-on" experience in some engineering domains and interdisciplinary experience are preferred. Teamwork is valued, and depending on the strengths of each member of the systems engineering team, the responsibilities listed below will be assigned accordingly.
