Role Overview:
- As an OBC & Communications AIT Engineer, you will own the assembly, integration, verification, and testing of the satellite’s On-Board Computer (OBC) and communications subsystems.
- This is a highly hands-on engineering role where you will serve as the primary technical point of contact for OBC and communications-related issues throughout manufacturing and integration.
- Working closely with engineering, production, and quality teams, you will ensure mission-critical embedded hardware and communication systems are successfully integrated, validated, and prepared for production.
- You will play a key role in identifying integration risks, resolving complex technical issues, supporting design improvements, and helping scale the manufacturing of advanced satellite platforms.
- We welcome applications from engineers with backgrounds in space, defence, avionics, telecommunications, automotive, or other high-reliability embedded hardware environments.
Key Responsibilities:
- Own the assembly, integration, verification, and testing of onboard computer (OBC) and communications subsystems.
- Act as the primary technical point of contact for OBC and communications-related issues during manufacturing and integration.
- Perform hands-on inspection, verification, troubleshooting, and functional testing of embedded hardware.
- Investigate non-conformances using structured root cause analysis and implement corrective actions.
- Contribute to design reviews, Design for Manufacturing (DFM), Design for Test (DFT), and production readiness activities.
- Work closely with design engineering, manufacturing, production, and quality teams to ensure successful subsystem integration.
- Apply system-level thinking to identify integration risks across multiple hardware interfaces.
- Develop and maintain technical documentation, integration procedures, test documentation, NCRs, and corrective action records.
- Support production ramp-up and drive continuous improvement initiatives to improve manufacturing reliability and repeatability.
Requirements:
- Degree in Electrical Engineering, Electronics Engineering, Telecommunications Engineering, Embedded Systems, or a related discipline.
- 5+ years of hands-on experience in the development, integration, testing, or manufacturing of complex electronic or communication systems.
- Strong understanding of embedded hardware, onboard computing, and Software Defined Radio (SDR)-based communication systems.
- Experience integrating complex hardware within multidisciplinary engineering environments.
- Experience with system-level hardware integration and troubleshooting.
- Knowledge of Design for Manufacturing (DFM) and Design for Test (DFT) principles.
- Experience supporting manufacturing, integration, verification, or production ramp-up activities.
- Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with experience conducting structured root cause analysis.
- Ability to produce clear, structured technical documentation and integration procedures.
- Excellent written and spoken English.
Nice to Have:
- Experience with satellite systems, flight computers, avionics, or embedded processing platforms.
- Experience in aerospace, defence, telecommunications, automotive, or other high-reliability industries.
- Familiarity with configuration management and engineering change processes.
- Experience mentoring technicians or working closely with cross-functional engineering teams.
- Python or scripting experience for automation, diagnostics, or productivity improvements.
Benefits:
- Opportunity to work on advanced satellite technologies with global impact.
- International and highly technical engineering environment.
- Career growth opportunities within a rapidly scaling space technology organization.
- Relocation support for candidates moving to Finland.
- Competitive salary and comprehensive benefits package.
- Exposure to large-scale satellite production and integration activities.
