Job Description
Join a high-autonomy, specialised "startup team” within a global satellite leader building 5G base stations that live in orbit. We are looking for a leader of on-board firmware & software to own the technical direction and delivery of a high-performance payload system.
We’re also recruiting for senior engineers to join the team below management level, so if this seems like you minus the team leadership – we’d still love to hear from you.
Key Details
- Job Title: On-Board Embedded Systems Manager
- Location: Luxembourg (60% on-site) – Full relocation support provided
- Salary: Up to €150,000 + flexibility for top-tier talent

- Cutting-Edge Stack: Work with modern tools like Rust and C++ alongside sophisticated hardware/software co-design (FPGA/ASIC/CPU).
- Leadership: Own the roadmap to hire and coach 10+ senior engineers from the ground up.
- Professional Growth: Lead a pivotal department within a global leader in satellite communications during a period of massive scaling.
Discover our full range of relocation jobs with comprehensive support packages to help you relocate and settle in your new location.
Key Responsibilities
- Define software architecture for high-throughput payloads. Partition algorithms across CPUs, FPGAs, and ASICs while managing strict power, thermal, and memory budgets.
- Lead the implementation of real-time data‑plane and control‑plane components (Rust/C/C++).
- Establish modern flight-software practices: CI/CD, Hardware-in-the-Loop regression testing, and secure Over-the-Air updates.
- Build a team - hiring and mentoring senior talent, running technical reviews and design controls that accelerate delivery.
- Ensure seamless interfacing with satellite bus systems and resilience against radiation constraints.
