Your Tasks

You will develop and implement technical solutions for

Studies and early phases (0 / A / B) projects on quantum technologies
Implementation projects (mission phases B / C / D / E) with focus on on secure / quantum communication

This translates into daily work with focus on

Technical coordination / Systems Management
Trade-offs of technical and programmatic solutions
Technical baseline definition for (sub)systems
Analysis and definition of customer, mission and system requirements
Specifications of systems and subsystems, interface engineering
Management of work packages and sub-projects
Definition of study/development logic, work breakdown and work packages
Budgets definition and engineering
Definition and conduction of test campaigns and respective laboratory work

You will participate in or lead proposal creation with focus on quantum technologies and systems, e.g. by defining the technical baseline and/or work logic.

Your Qualifications

Master/PhD in (aerospace) engineering, physics, mathematics, computer science or equivalent
Strong understanding of quantum technologies and their industrial application, e.g. quantum key distribution, quantum memories, quantum sensing and entanglement as a resource
Ideally, experience in the design and implementation of secure and quantum communication systems for ground and space
Strong solution oriented, self-managed and pro-active working style
Passion for technology and the motivation to turn ideas into reality
Ideally, experience in motivating and leading small teams in technical roles
Professional experience in the space industry or in space-related projects would be an advantage

Systems Engineer (m/f/d) Quantum Technologies
