To grow in this role, a positive attitude and a willingness to learn are key. We’re looking for someone who enjoys working as part of a team, is curious about the industry, and is open to suggesting new ideas. Some experience in a manufacturing environment would be helpful, but not essential. You’ll be following detailed work instructions with care and attention to quality, while also using your problem-solving skills when things aren’t fully documented or are changing.
What You’ll Do
- Inspect and handle electronic (PCBA) and mechanical components with care and precision.
- Assemble and test electro-mechanical sub-systems, supporting the build of satellite systems.
- Assist with system-level integration and testing alongside experienced team members.
- Maintain accurate records and quality documentation.
- Provide thoughtful feedback to improve designs and assembly processes.
- Support troubleshooting and help develop practical testing solutions.
- Contribute to investigation reports on technical issues, with support from senior engineers.
What You Bring
- A degree, HND, or equivalent practical experience in Engineering, Electronics, or a related technical field.
- Hands-on experience (from work, projects, or education) in assembling and testing electronic or mechanical parts.
- A collaborative mindset with the confidence to ask questions and share ideas.
- The ability to understand and follow technical drawings and instructions, with training provided where needed.
- A keen eye for detail, a proactive attitude, and pride in delivering high-quality work.
Nice to Have (But Not Essential)
- Familiarity with industry standards like IPC or J-Standard for component handling (we offer training!).
- Experience in a fast-moving production or lab environment.
- Basic knowledge of RF, Digital, or Power electronics is a plus.
- An interest in learning software tools or scripting for testing purposes.
- A mindset that values openness, continuous learning, and teamwork.
- Enthusiasm for improving how things are done—your fresh ideas are welcome.
Why Join Us?
