We're hiring an Electronics Hardware Engineer for a research-driven robotics startup developing advanced technologies for extreme and mission-critical environments. The company is currently expanding its Space Division and building systems for future aerospace and orbital applications.

Role Snapshot

You'll own the electronics architecture and hardware development for robotic payloads, taking systems from initial concept through prototyping, testing, qualification, and spacecraft integration.

Your work will contribute to an in-orbit technology demonstration planned for 2028 and help turn early-stage engineering concepts into reliable, flight-ready systems.

The role is based primarily on site in Pisa, Italy , with occasional hybrid work possible.

Key Responsibilities

Define and own the electronics architecture for robotic payloads, from concept to flight-like implementation

Design schematics and multilayer PCBs , prototype, and validate through bring-up, bench testing, and iteration

Develop power electronics and analog signal conditioning with a focus on reliability, noise performance, and safety

Select space-suitable components , document derating and reliability rationale, and plan for procurement and obsolescence

Lead integration with spacecraft systems , interfaces,



and GSE, coordinating with external partners as needed

Plan, execute, and document verification and validation , including environmental testing readiness and compliance to relevant standards

What You Bring

Technical Toolkit

PCB design and EDA tools, A ltium Designer or similar

Power electronics , converters, protection, derating

Analog signal conditioning , filtering, grounding, EMC practices

Component selection for space or harsh environments
