If you are passionate about space, modeling, and calculations, and you enjoy challenges, this is the position for you. You will lead the analysis and study of different satellite orbits in VLEO to determine the best way to achieve the objectives of each space mission we undertake. You will contribute directly to the end‑to‑end mission concept and conduct the analyses, trade‑offs, and deliverables required for architecture decision‑making (space, ground, and operations).

About us
We are leading the development of the first air-breathing electric propulsion (ABEP) system designed specifically for Very Low Earth Orbit (VLEO). This revolutionary engine enables satellites to orbit between 150 and 300 km by capturing and using atmospheric particles as propellant.
By eliminating the need to carry fuel onboard, we drastically increase efficiency and overcome the main challenge of atmospheric drag in VLEO. This disruptive technology opens the door to an entirely new generation of space services, from high-resolution Earth observation to near real-time communications.
To achieve it, we rely on a team of professionals who are passionate, visionary, and committed to pushing the boundaries of what is possible. If you share this passion and want to leave your mark on the future of the space industry, we want to meet you.
