Data Handling Subsystem Engineer

Overview In this role you will contribute to the design and validation of the Data Handling Subsystem for high-profile space missions. You will work within the DHS team to define OBC, RTU and MMU interfaces, and ensure reliable on-board processing and communications. You will engage across multi-disciplinary teams to deliver robust avionics solutions for missions like LISA, GAM, and LightShip-1. This is a chance to influence critical space infrastructure and work in an international, mission-driven environment.
