To complete our dynamic and international team, we are looking for an AIT Manager. He/She is responsible for planning, coordinating, and executing all Assembly, Integration, and Test (AIT) activities for spacecraft, satellite subsystems, or other high-reliability systems. This role ensures the safe, efficient, and successful transition of hardware from manufacturing through to delivery, launch, or final deployment, in accordance with technical and programmatic requirements.


🌟 Job Description 🌟

AIT Planning & Execution

Define the AIT strategy and develop detailed plans for system-level assembly, mechanical/electrical integration, environmental testing, and functional verification.

Coordinate and oversee the execution of AIT campaigns, including cleanroom operations, lifting and handling, alignment, and test sequencing.

Team Leadership

Lead a multidisciplinary AIT team, including technicians, test engineers, integration specialists, and support staff.

Ensure that all team members adhere to safety, quality, and cleanliness standards (e.g., ISO 14644, ESA ECSS).

Interface & Coordination

Work closely with design engineering, production, quality assurance, supply chain, and project management to ensure readiness and smooth execution.

Act as the primary point of contact for AIT status, risks, and recovery actions during internal and customer reviews.

Resource & Facility Management

Manage AIT facility usage (cleanrooms, test chambers, GSE/MGSE, etc.), tooling, and test equipment availability.

Ensure calibration, certification, and proper maintenance of test and handling equipment.

Test Campaign Management

Oversee system-level test activities including:

  • Mechanical (vibration, shock)
  • Thermal (vacuum bakeout, thermal balance/cycle)
  • Electrical (EMC, functional, software-in-the-loop)

Review and approve test procedures, data packs, and test reports.

Documentation & Compliance

Ensure comprehensive documentation and configuration management throughout the AIT process.

Deliver required reports and End Item Data Packages (EIDPs) in line with contract and regulatory requirements (e.g., ESA, NASA, MIL-STD).


Requirements

  • Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Aerospace, Mechanical, Electrical, or Systems Engineering.
  • 7+ years of relevant experience in space or high-reliability systems, including leadership roles in integration and testing.
  • Deep understanding of satellite/subsystem AIT processes and space qualification standards (ECSS, MIL-STD-1540, etc.).
  • Proven experience managing AIT campaigns through critical project phases (e.g., delivery, launch).

Good to have:

  • Experience with EGSE and MGSE design and operations.
  • Familiarity with PLM and test management tools (e.g., DOORS, Windchill, SAP, TestRail).
  • Strong troubleshooting and problem-solving skills during integration/test.
  • Excellent communication, team leadership, and stakeholder management abilities.

🎁 What we offer 🎁

  • The opportunity to be part of an international team transforming the space industry.
  • A creative and innovative work environment where ideas turn into reality.
  • Competitive salary and benefits.
