Our mission requires engineers who can move comfortably between detailed technical analysis and system-level decision making. The successful candidate will be able to understand both the physics of infrared sensing and the systems engineering required to turn sensor measurements into operationally useful missile tracks.
We’re looking for team members who align with our values, mission, and goals while also meeting the minimum qualifications below. The preferred qualifications are a bonus, not a requirement.
The Principal Systems Engineer will be expected to maintain technical insight across three tightly coupled areas:
Understand and drive the performance of the sensor itself, including optics, focal plane, electronics, calibration, radiometric performance, spatial/temporal performance, and payload interfaces.
Provide technical oversight of the processing chain that converts infrared observations into detections and persistent tracks, including algorithm performance, robustness, verification, and implementation constraints.
Ensure that the combined payload, spacecraft, algorithms, and mission architecture produce the required operational capability. This includes understanding how sensor performance, pointing and navigation knowledge, geometry, processing latency, track fusion, and communications collectively affect missile warning and tracking performance.
Success in this role is measured not simply by successful delivery of an infrared payload, but by demonstrating that the integrated system produces accurate, timely, and reliable mission data for the warfighter.

ESS is the recapitalization of the strategic satellite communications architecture that underwrites nuclear command, control, and communications, the system that has to work on its worst day.
The Command & Control (C2) Terminal is where that system meets the operator. It is the link that has to close under jamming, under stress, and under conditions no commercial terminal is ever asked to survive. If the terminal doesn't work, nothing else in the architecture matters.
This is an RF Engineer's job at the center of a national mission. The Sr. C2 Terminal RF & Antenna System Engineer will evaluate competing terminal architectures, assess real prototypes from multiple vendors, and lead the integration and test work that determines which design the government buys. You will be hands-on with antennas, phased arrays, software-defined radios, and signal processing and your technical findings will directly shape a multi-billion-dollar acquisition. Few RF Engineers get to do deep technical work and have it drive a procurement decision. That is this role.
Aerospace exists to give the government the technical answer, which means your assessment of a vendor's link budget or array performance is not filtered through anyone's business development interests. For engineers who have spent years defending a product line, this is the difference that matters.
One important note before you read further: this position requires an active Secret clearance with eligibility to obtain TS/SCI - not TS/SCI in hand. If you hold a current Secret and assumed strategic mission work was closed to you, it is not. Apply.

The Digital Innovation Division is seeking Senior Project Engineers to serve as technical project leads for initiatives within the corporate AI portfolio, reporting to the Director, AI Systems and Delivery. Each lead owns one initiative end to end: its technical approach, its requirements and architecture, its cost and schedule, and the working relationships with the engineers and subject matter experts whose work the capability depends on.
We expect to fill more than one of these positions. Current and planned initiatives include an agentic platform that gives AI controlled, secure access to subject matter expert tools, databases, physics models, and document collections, spanning component engineering, modeling and simulation, verification and validation, and spectral phenomenology; enterprise agentic AI, covering orchestration, tool and data integration, and agent lifecycle management at enterprise scale; AI for software engineering, covering agentic coding assistants and developer productivity across the engineering population; and modeling, simulation, and digital engineering tooling. Depth in one of these areas matters more than breadth across all of them, and assignment is determined during hiring based on your background.
This is a technical leadership position rather than a people-management position. You will lead a project team drawn from across the corporation, hold the technical decisions for your initiative, and remain close enough to the work to judge whether what is being built is sound.

About 21% of the world’s forest area is currently designated under legal protection. These forests are highly valuable for carbon storage and sustaining biodiversity. However, high annual rates of tree cover loss continue to this day, with impacts both on forest carbon stocks and their biodiversity. It therefore remains difficult to assess how effective protected area designation is as a forest conservation tool. The legal status of a protected area does not automatically mean that active protection is being implemented, particularly in regions with limited financial resources for conservation.
ESA’s Sentinel missions are widely used to monitor forests by providing frequent, consistent, and freely available satellite data on forests. In April 2025, ESA also launched the BIOMASS mission with a novel P-band synthetic aperture radar designed to deliver crucial information about forest conditions, changes, and their role in the carbon cycle. As an NGT, you will utilise BIOMASS mission data in synergy with several other EO missions (particularly the Sentinels) to achieve the following:
You will utilise ESA-supported cloud computing platforms for conducting your research. By the end of the traineeship, you will have gained practical experience in scalable Earth observation processing, applied analytical methods for land monitoring, product validation and uncertainty assessment, and stakeholder-driven development in an international setting. You will also develop a broader understanding of how EO-derived forest information supports international policy and reporting frameworks.

As part of the 12th cycle of ESA’s Earth Explorer programme (EE12), the candidate mission ”Keystone” will undergo a Phase A study. Keystone would provide the first direct observations of atomic oxygen in the mesosphere-thermosphere system, using a unique combination of limb-sounding techniques to cover altitudes from 50 to 250km. These observations, together with measurements of composition, temperature and winds, would enable scientists to study the processes that drive variability and energy balance in this region of the atmosphere, including the effects of solar cycles and space weather. Three EE12 candidate missions are currently under consideration; following completion of their respective Phase A studies, one will be selected for implementation. A brief description of the EE12 mission candidates is available here:
https://www.esa.int/Applications/Observing_the_Earth/FutureEO/Preparing_for_tomorrow/ESA_selects_four_new_Earth_Explorer_mission_ideas
You are encouraged to visit the ESA website: http://www.esa.int
You will join the Keystone mission team, supporting the mission’s scientific definition and performance evaluation to help maximise its scientific output and contribute to the feasibility assessment and final mission selection process, scheduled for summer 2028. You will work on the theoretical assessment and testing of the mission’s performance, including simulating the signals observed by the spacecraft, generating instrument data streams and processing them into scientific products for distribution to users. You may also compare these data with similar outputs from other simulators or experimental airborne campaigns. You will produce and analyse output that contributes to the preparation of the Report for Mission Selection.
You may also support other mission science and promotion activities, including engagement with the scientific community and the mission team, the preparation of workshops and meetings, and mission communication, visualisation and public outreach. You will gain insight into the competitive process through which ESA Earth observation research mission concepts are defined and matured before selection for mission implementation. You will also learn about the technical and scientific approaches used to assess mission performance and feasibility.

The Structures, Mechanisms and Materials Division is the centre of competence of the Agency in all areas related to spacecraft and launcher structures, mechanisms, tribology and pyrotechnic devices, as well as materials and processes. This encompasses spacecraft and launcher lightweight structures, stable structures, advanced mechanical materials applications, structural dynamics, damage tolerance, deployable structures/booms, active structures, hold-down and release devices, electrical motors for space mechanisms, launcher and re-entry vehicle hot- and cold structures, landing attenuation systems, seals, valves, parachute systems, separation systems, solar array drive mechanisms, reaction wheels, pointing mechanisms, pyrotechnics, bearings and tribology aspects. It provides support to projects, preparatory programs and technology programs.
In order to achieve its objectives, the Materials, Manufacturing, and Assembly Section, located at ESTEC (Noordwijk, NL) is also managing the Advanced Manufacturing Laboratory at ECSAT (Harwell, UK) whose objective is the performance evaluation and feasibility assessment of emerging manufacturing processes such as additive manufacturing and advanced joining techniques and to explore the benefit of utilising additional capabilities available through the Harwell campus.
The work proposed will be carried out at ECSAT in close cooperation with the Materials and Processes Section at ESTEC. The general activities performed within the remit of the Materials and Processes Section, covering also activities at ECSAT include:
You are encouraged to visit the ESA website: http://www.esa.int
The Advanced Manufacturing Cross-Cutting Initiative captures the opportunity of adopting revolutionary manufacturing capabilities, advanced materials and associated processes and creates sustainable competitive advantage for European space industry in the global market. In its latest revision of activities, emphasis is given to smart manufacturing, i.e. the use of interconnected digital technologies in industrial production, that enable new and more efficient processes and which in some cases yield new goods and services.
The current space missions are often limited in their performances and scientific achievements by the traditional manufacturing processes/concepts. Though Advanced Manufacturing technologies are readily available in the current European industrial landscape, these can be adopted for next generation space hardware manufacturing. This will enable new and highly innovative spacecraft and launchers designs, with significantly reduced manufacturing constraints (including costs and lead-time) and tremendous performance improvement.
Complementing this initiative, the following activities are currently targeted through the advanced manufacturing laboratory:
You will use facilities available through the ECSAT Advanced Manufacturing Laboratory in close cooperation with ESTEC Materials and Electrical Components Laboratory, in order to characterise all the above advanced materials and manufacturing processes, with particular focus on additive manufacturing.

The ADRIOS (Active Debris Removal [ADR] and In-Orbit Servicing [IOS]) missions, undertaken in the framework of ESA's Space Safety Programme, aim to establish viable ADR and IOS capabilities and services in Europe, such as rendezvous, inspection, capture, life extension, relocation, de-orbiting or repair of satellites.
The Mission Implementation Division of the Space Safety Programme is responsible for implementing these missions, including the CAT mission, through Phases B2/C/D/E.
The ever-increasing number of satellites in orbit poses a significant risk to operational spacecraft and the sustainability of space activities. As the number of satellites increases, so does the risk of collisions and the creation of space debris. The ESA CAT mission aims to demonstrate ADR capabilities for a prepared client satellite equipped with ESA's standard navigation and mechanical interfaces, known as MICE. This involves performing rendezvous and capture operations fully autonomously. In line with ESA’s Zero Debris by 2030 initiative, the CAT-IOD mission is paving the way for the future of Active Debris Removal (ADR).
ADRIOS missions often involve relatively new space companies with ambitions in the commercial market, requiring ESA project teams to provide specialist expertise and to adopt a pragmatic approach.
This role offers the opportunity to contribute to pioneering space sustainability technologies under the Space Safety Programme, helping to advance satellite servicing, debris mitigation, and sustainable orbital operations.

Cognitive cloud computing in space (3CS) is emerging as a key paradigm for future Earth observation systems, enabling coordinated, event-driven operations across heterogeneous space assets through onboard intelligence, distributed computing and inter-satellite communications. By supporting capabilities such as autonomous tip-and-cue, event-based mission replanning, adaptive multi-sensor tasking and distributed information fusion, 3CS aims to significantly improve the responsiveness and autonomy of future EO missions. In this context, synthetic aperture radar (SAR) represents a strategic sensing modality thanks to its all-weather, day-and-night imaging capabilities, providing reliable information to trigger and support coordinated observations in rapidly evolving scenarios such as disasters, maritime surveillance and security monitoring. Recent advances in cognitive SAR have demonstrated the potential of AI methods operating directly on raw or partially processed data for tasks such as learned focusing, adaptive compression and information extraction. However, significant challenges remain, including the computational complexity of SAR processing chains, the limited robustness of current AI approaches, and the difficulty of deploying intelligent processing under stringent onboard resource constraints. In addition, significant exploration is still required to explore novel cognitive SAR and novel mission concepts enabled by onboard SAR processing. This fellowship will address these challenges by developing AI-based methods for onboard SAR data processing operating close to the sensing level, enabling real-time information extraction, event detection, autonomous re-tasking, and cooperative multi-sensor operations for next-generation missions, including Copernicus Sentinel-1 Next Generation, thereby supporting the transition towards autonomous and coordinated EO systems.
