Electronics Engineer (Digital)

At Open Cosmos we are solving the world’s biggest challenges from space. We provide end-to-end space mission services, from design and build through to launch and operations enabling businesses, governments and researchers access to more readily available information than ever before - are you ready for the challenge?

Working in our Chief Technology Office

The CTO division is where Open Cosmos technology comes to life. Covering engineering, product development, and technical innovation, the team designs, builds, and operates the satellites, systems, and platforms that make our missions possible. It’s a highly collaborative environment where ideas become real hardware, software, and data solutions that deliver impact from space.

The Team

The Electronics team is where the magic happens - from power systems and flight computers to comms boards and payload interfaces, they make sure every mission succeeds. It’s creative, hands-on, and mission-critical work — solving tricky problems, testing every circuit, and making sure our satellites are ready to thrive in the toughest environment of all : space.

The Role

We're looking for a talented Electronics Engineer to take technical ownership of mixed-signal and high-speed electronics designs for our satellites. This is a hands-on, impactful role where you'll collaborate across disciplines to build robust, high-performance electronics destined for orbit.

From capturing requirements and firmware development to signal integrity testing and on-site fault finding — you’ll be at the heart of the full electronics lifecycle.

What you'll be doing

Own and develop electronics designs for space applications

Cross-discipline collaborate between Systems, Mechanical, and Software teams to work toward design solutions and capture and refine requirements

Optimise and improve existing designs for performance, reliability, and manufacturability

Assist in the development & testing of high-speed signal architectures

Develop firmware for microcontrollers (C++, Rust a big plus)

Collaborate with the Software team for seamless integration

Conduct on-site testing and fault-finding of flight hardware

Skills you’ll need to be successful

Degree in Electronics Engineering (or related field)

Proven capability in mixed-signal design layout practices

Strong grasp of signal integrity, EMC, and power electronics

Familiarity and use of serial comms protocols

Appreciation of designing for extreme environments (especially space)

Clear written and verbal communication

Strong sense of technical ownership and initiative

Skilled in cross-disciplinary collaboration

Attention to documentation and detail

Ability to manage time and priorities under pressure
