Senior Electrical Engineer - Launch (m/f/d).

About the Team

Join a team that is shaping the future of European space transportation. In this role, you will take ownership of the electrical infrastructure that powers launch and test operations, from initial concept development through commissioning and operational readiness.

You will work on technically challenging projects involving high-reliability power systems, critical infrastructure, and complex industrial environments. Collaborating with multidisciplinary teams across engineering, operations, and construction, you will play a key role in building and maintaining the facilities that make successful launch campaigns possible.

If you are passionate about turning ambitious engineering concepts into safe, reliable, and operational systems, we would love to hear from you.

Your Tasks

• Design, oversee the construction, and commission electrical infrastructure for launch and test sites.
• Define and drive technical requirements for site layouts, utilities, and electrical systems.
• Develop and guide the implementation of LV and MV power distribution systems, including switchgear, transformers, protection systems, and grounding concepts.
• Ensure consistent documentation standards across electrical systems, infrastructure projects, and operational assets.
• Support and mentor engineers and technicians during the implementation, testing, and commissioning of new systems.
• Coordinate with internal and external stakeholders to ensure technical requirements are clearly communicated, aligned, and delivered.
• Monitor project progress, manage technical risks, and provide regular status updates to the team lead.
