Senior Electrical Engineer

AIRMO is a European climate-tech company using space and airborne technologies to monitor greenhouse gas emissions globally. Our instruments — combining LiDAR and hyperspectral imaging — detect and quantify methane and CO₂ emissions from industrial sites, pipelines, and national infrastructure.

We’re building a global monitoring system from ground to space, helping NGOs, energy companies, governments, and investors take real action on climate impact.

AIRMO is looking for a hands-on, talented Senior Electrical/Electronics Engineer to own the design, development, and production of our next-generation satellite and airborne electrical systems. You’ll be at the core of our flight hardware — powering payloads, orchestrating system availability, and ensuring rock-solid reliability in space and flight.

Tasks

• Designing, producing and testing custom PCBs for our flight hardware, including UAS and satellite sensors
• Developing and optimizing laser drivers and trigger systems for high-frequency signal processing
• Designing and constructing prototype electrical systems using COTS components
• Interfacing with IMUs, RTCs, environmental sensors, and other payload peripherals
• Building and running unit/integration tests, hardware-in-the-loop benches, and automated validation suites
• Designing, producing and testing power control systems for flight and laboratory hardware
• Collaborating closely with hardware, optics, and mission operations teams to integrate software into end-to-end payload systems
• Documenting architectures, schematics, test plans, and validation results with clarity and rigor

Requirements

• Bachelor’s or Master’s in Electrical Engineering, Software Engineering, Computer Science, or equivalent hands-on experience
• 5+ years of electronics development, preferably in aerospace, robotics, or other high-reliability domains
• Expert-level Altium knowledge / equivalent experience
• Hands-on integration experience with:
• Power control systems (switches, converters, distribution, metering and protection)
• Inertial sensors, real-time clocks, environmental sensors
• Prototype hardware development for field-deployed devices
• High frequency pulse generation
• Ideally - fiber laser systems
• A “hacker” mentality: rapid prototyping, creative problem-solving, and a willingness to dive into firmware, heavy documentation, and debugging
• Fluency in English

Benefits

• €1000 / yr development budget
• Tea, coffee, drinks, snacks in office
• Work with a killer team of motivated experts

This is a rare chance to build real software that will fly beyond the edge of the atmosphere — and bring critical Earth-observation payloads to life. If you’re ready to roll up your sleeves, write mission-critical code, and help shape the future of space-based instrumentation, we want to hear from you.
