Product Assurance Engineer – Space & Satellite Programmes
The Company
What if satellites didn't have to send everything back to Earth before making a decision?
That is part of the challenge that our client is solving.
We are working with a growing NewSpace technology company developing on-board AI and edge computing solutions for satellite missions enabling spacecraft to process, analyse and act on data directly in orbit.
The result? Smarter satellites, less reliance on downlink capacity and faster, more autonomous decisions in space.
As the company continues to grow, we're looking for a Product Assurance Engineer to help ensure the technology being sent into orbit is ready for the environments, customers and missions that depend upon it.
The Opportunity
This isn't about joining a huge PA department and inheriting one small piece of an established process.
You'll work closely with engineering teams across satellite systems, electronics, software and AI/ML, taking ownership of Product Assurance activities across multiple programmes.
You'll be involved throughout the lifecycle from early development and design reviews through verification, qualification, acceptance, delivery and ultimately technologies operating in orbit.
As the company grows, you'll also have the opportunity to influence how Product Assurance is done as the organisation scales.
What You'll Be Doing
Leading Product Assurance activities across satellite technology programmes
Developing PA plans and ensuring compliance with ECSS and customer requirements
Supporting SRR, PDR, CDR, TRR, QR and acceptance reviews
Supporting verification, validation and qualification activities
Managing NCRs, RFDs, RFWs and anomalies
Supporting risk and reliability activities including FMEA/FMECA
Working with suppliers and subcontractors on quality and corrective actions
Maintaining configuration, traceability and documentation throughout the product lifecycle
Working alongside teams developing hardware, electronics, software and AI-enabled space technology
Helping evolve the Product Assurance framework as the organisation grows
Who We're Looking For
You'll ideally bring 4+ years of relevant professional experience, including exposure to satellite, spacecraft, payload or other space technology programmes.
Most importantly, we're looking for ECSS experience, knowledge of design reviews, V&V, qualification and acceptance, and the confidence to work directly with engineering teams.
Experience with Earth Observation, satellite payloads, embedded systems, software PA, on-board processing or AI/ML would be particularly valuable.
