- Collaborate with cross-functional teams to define, design, and implement new features.
- Troubleshoot complex issues across the stack, applying strong problem-solving skills.
- Lead and contribute to Agile/SCRUM processes including sprint planning and retrospectives.
What Youll Bring
- Bachelors degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related discipline (or equivalent experience).
- 5+ years experience developing mission-critical software in the space or similar high-reliability industries.
- Proven full stack development background.
- Strong proficiency in object-oriented programming (Java, Python, or C++).
- Extensive experience building frontend applications with frameworks such as React.
Desirable Skills
- Hands-on experience with Docker, Kubernetes, or Docker Compose.
- Experience with CI/CD tools such as GitLab CI or GitHub Actions.
- Strong command of SQL databases, data management, and Git-based workflows.
- Experience in Agile/SCRUM environments.
- Familiarity with CCSDS or ECSS communications standards.
- Understanding of Ground Segment systems and mission operations.
- Experience with AWS or Azure cloud platforms.
- Awareness of software security best practices and coding standards.
Whats on Offer
- Opportunity to work with a talented, diverse, and international engineering team.
- Flexible working around core hours in a collaborative, supportive environment.
- Hybrid working model with an optional 9/75 compressed schedule.
- 25 days annual leave (increasing with service) + 8 bank holidays.
- Private healthcare, life insurance, and long-term sick pay.
- Relocation assistance and visa sponsorship (where applicable).
- Modern office and cleanroom facilities.
- Regular social and professional development events.
If youre passionate about software engineering and eager to help build the systems powering next-generation space missions, this is a fantastic opportunity to make a real impact.

An exciting opportunity has arisen for an experienced Senior Ground Segment Systems Engineer to join a leading space engineering team developing the infrastructure and software that enable mission-critical spacecraft operations.
This is a high-impact role with significant autonomy, where youll lead the development of ground systems from concept through to maintenance, shaping the technology that supports safe and efficient mission control.
Youll act as a bridge between Mission & Systems Engineering and Operations, ensuring that ground systems are robust, integrated, and ready to deliver across all phases of flight operations.
This role suits an engineer with a strong understanding of ground segment architecture and experience across multiple missions, whos ready to take ownership and mentor others in a fast-paced, innovative environment.
For this role we can consider visa sponsorship and relocation support.
Key Responsibilities
- Lead and contribute to the development of ground systems including Mission Control, Mission Planning, and Ground Station Interface Systems.
- Define ground segment requirements and oversee delivery of specific components.
- Act as technical lead or product owner, interfacing with both internal teams and external suppliers.
- Follow Agile (SCRUM) methodologies to deliver on requirements, schedule, and quality.
- Develop and maintain project documentation including requirements, V&V plans, test procedures, and reports.
- Support verification and validation, system integration, and simulation campaigns.
- Provide technical support and training to operations teams using ground systems.
- Troubleshoot, maintain, and enhance operational ground segment components.
What Youll Bring
- Degree in Computer Science, Telecommunications, or a relevant engineering discipline.
- Minimum 5 years experience in satellite ground systems engineering.
- Strong understanding of the ground segment architecture and its core components (mission control, mission planning, and communications systems).
- Solid grasp of requirements engineering, system integration, and verification and validation.
- Excellent communication and reporting skills, comfortable collaborating with international teams.
- Fluent in English, written and spoken.
Desirable Skills
- Experience with Mission Control Systems (preferably SCOS-2000-based).
- Knowledge of automation and mission planning systems.
- Familiarity with ground stations and antenna communications.
- Understanding of satellite operations and product lifecycle management.
- Experience with ECSS and CCSDS standards.
- Programming experience in C++ or Java.
- Linux system administration and scripting skills (shell, make, etc.).
- Experience working in Agile/SCRUM environments.
Whats on Offer
- Work with a talented, diverse, and international engineering team on cutting-edge space technologies.
- Flexible and hybrid working options around core hours.
- Optional compressed working pattern (9/75).
- 25 days annual leave (increasing with service) plus bank holidays.
- Private healthcare, life insurance, and long-term sick pay.
- Relocation assistance and visa sponsorship (where applicable).
- State-of-the-art office and cleanroom facilities.
- Regular team and social events in a collaborative, supportive environment.
If youre an experienced systems engineer ready to take technical ownership of ground segment development for next-generation space missions, wed love to hear from you.
