Senior Electrical Engineer

Employee
Electrical Engineering

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.
