As a Senior Systems Engineer, you will be responsible for defining and justifying the mission's Ground Segment Architecture, leading specification and requirements definition activities while actively contributing to procurement and the management of contractor developments. You will play a pivotal role within the Flight Operations Team by planning, executing, and optimizing satellite operations, maintaining spacecraft health, leading real-time anomaly responses, and guiding a small team of engineers. Consequently, your technical scope will include defining onboard failure detection autonomy, drafting flight procedures and user manuals, and planning and leading ground-based System Validation Tests (SVT). Collaborating closely with internal teams and external partners to deliver robust solutions, this dynamic position demands strong leadership, exceptional communication skills, and the proven ability to thrive in a fast-paced environment.

It is desirable that you have a solid technical background in one or more of the following spacecraft engineering areas:

• Data handling/Software

• Ground Segment

• Attitude and orbit control / Orbital mechanics

• TT&C

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor’s or Master’s Degree in Aerospace Engineering, Systems Engineering, or related field

• At least 5 years of experience in satellite system or subsystem engineering

• Fluent in the English language, both spoken and written

• Excellent interpersonal skills and communications capabilities

• Strong understanding of TT&C, flight dynamics, and ground segment architecture

• Experience with anomaly detection, root cause analysis, and recovery procedures

• Legal authorization to work in Sweden

Added advantageous qualifications:

• Experience with ESA programs and projects or other large international collaborations

• Familiarity with scripting or automation tools (e.g., Python, Bash).
