Our client needs a senior ATLO engineer to take on a player coach role across assembly, integration and environmental test for a growing line of small satellites, splitting their time between hands on cleanroom work and leading the team through multiple programmes running in parallel.
If you have built spacecraft across more than one programme, want a role that keeps you close to the hardware while also giving you real influence over how the team operates, and are comfortable in a high tempo, high production environment, this is built for you.
The role
Around 40 percent of your time will be spent directly on hardware integration and test, working in the cleanroom on assembly, troubleshooting and environmental campaigns including EMI/EMC, dynamics and TVAC. The remainder is spent in a player coach capacity, leading and shaping the work of the wider ATLO team across however many programmes are running at a given time. You will act as a signature authority on test and assembly procedures, feed back into early design and proposal work to drive manufacturability improvements, and interface closely with programmes, engineering, manufacturing and quality teams. This role sits firmly in the 50 50 space between individual contribution and leadership, with genuine input into how multiple satellite programmes are built and delivered.
