Reporting to Marcos Compadre, Head of Electronic Systems
If you're passionate about electronic systems engineering and eager to contribute to innovative projects in the space industry, we encourage you to apply for this exciting opportunity.
If you think you have what it takes but are unsure that you check every box, we still want to hear from you. Your ability to creatively solve complex challenges and practical experience in designing/building/coding technology tops specific qualifications or tools.
Studies have shown that women and other marginalized groups apply to jobs only when they meet 100% of the qualifications. However, at SPHERICAL, we're dedicated to building a diverse, inclusive workplace and encourage you to apply even if you don't meet every single requirement.
