About this role
Ready to make connectivity from space universally accessible, secure and actionable? Then you’ve come to the right place!
E-Space is bridging Earth and space to enable hyper-scaled deployments of space-powered Internet of Things (IoT) solutions and services. We are fundamentally changing the design, economics, manufacturing, coverage limitations and service delivery associated with traditional satellite and terrestrial IoT systems.
By building a highly-advanced low Earth orbit (LEO) space system—with a unique antenna design, highly sustainable spacecraft system and low-cost, small portable end-user devices—we can extend global satellite coverage, capacity and connectivity beyond legacy space services to provide a new kind of IoT platform that lets users sense, track, connect and act on information gathered, anywhere.
We’re intentional, we’re unapologetically curious and we’re 100% committed to saving space, protecting our planet and turning connectivity into actionable intelligence.
Why this role is important
E-Space is building a next-generation LEO satellite constellation. At the heart of our technology are high-precision free-space optical systems designed to operate in demanding space environments. We are looking for a seasoned opto-mechanical engineer to own the mechanical development of these systems from concept through to flight.
You will lead opto-mechanical development for our space products, collaborating closely with Optics, Thermal, Electronics, Systems, AIT, and Manufacturing teams. You will work directly with suppliers and fabrication teams — embodying a design-to-manufacturing mindset — and will take designs from early engineering units through to flight hardware. The successful candidate will be based at our Toulouse, France office.
