System Engineer

About the Company Our client operates within the space industry, developing advanced systems that enable reliable and secure data transfer across a wide range of applications. They work on innovative solutions that combine precision engineering, optics, electronics and software, contributing to next‑generation communication technologies.

They value technical excellence, close collaboration with development partners, and a strong focus on bringing complex systems from early design stages to mature, industrialized products. With a multidisciplinary team and a clear focus on innovation, they aim to deliver robust, high‑performance solutions for challenging environments.

Your Tasks As a System Engineer, you will be technically responsible for one of the products or subsystems—sometimes in collaboration with a System Architect. You will work on solutions across multiple stages of the product lifecycle. This means you may be involved in concept design one moment, followed by building a test setup or preparing the system for volume manufacturing the next.

After system realization, you will be responsible for its validation and ensuring technical coherence between system requirements, system concepts, and system integration. You act as a connecting link between mechanics, electronics, software, and other disciplines.

In addition to your technical responsibilities, you support the project manager by contributing to acquisitions and supporting the transfer of project deliverables to the customer.
