Optical Satcom Engineer

Munich, Germany

Looking to make waves in the space industry? We’re working with a forward-thinking company that’s leading the charge in optical and laser communication technologies for satellites. They’re on a mission to revolutionize high-speed data transfer between satellites, ground stations, and beyond-and they need an Optical Satcom Engineer to help make it happen.

What’s the job about?
In this role, you’ll be at the heart of developing next-gen optical communication systems for satellites. Think designing advanced payloads, refining system performance, and seeing your work come to life during integration and testing. You’ll work closely with some of the best in the business, collaborating across disciplines to deliver groundbreaking solutions.

A typical day might include:

  • Designing and fine-tuning optical communication systems for satellites.
  • Defining technical requirements and working through system trade-offs.
  • Running simulations and performance analyses to ensure everything works flawlessly.
  • Overseeing integration and testing, making sure the system’s ready for action.
  • Teaming up with partners and suppliers to hit major milestones.

What you’ll bring to the table:

  • A degree in optical engineering, photonics, aerospace, or something similar.
  • Hands-on experience with optical or laser communication systems (bonus points if it’s for space).
  • Skills in designing, testing, and validating optical systems.
  • Knowledge of free-space optics, satellite subsystems, or ground station tech is a big plus.
  • English fluency is a must, and German is great if you’ve got it.

Why join?
This is your chance to work with a company that’s pushing boundaries in the space industry. They offer a flexible work environment, professional growth opportunities, and the chance to be part of projects that genuinely shape the future of satellite communication.

Sound like your kind of challenge? Let’s chat! Reach out today, and I’ll happily fill you in on all the details about this exciting opportunity.
