Space Solar’s mission is to create an era-defining new solar energy source from space.
 
In 12 years, Space Solar will deliver an affordable, scalable, and fully renewable new baseload energy technology. We will accelerate the transition to net zero and provide energy security for partner nations, as global demand grows.
 
Ultimately, we will help create a safer and more secure world where clean energy is available to everyone, for the benefit of all life on earth.
 
This ground-breaking programme will develop and commercialise space based solar power.  Space Solar must become the world’s most knowledgeable entity in space-based solar power technologies, system design, delivery, deployment, and utilisation.
 
The project will benefit humanity, supplying clean power whilst diminishing reliance on fossil fuels, thereby reducing carbon emissions. It will deliver a huge innovation footprint across sectors from energy to space to robotics. Therefore, the successful candidate must hold sustainability and innovation as key personal values if they are to have credibility both internally and externally.
 
About the Role:

As an Electronics and Digital Design Engineer you will be responsible for designing the electronics and software elements of the Space Based Solar Power system and demonstrators. You will be part of a diverse and highly capable team which will work closely together to execute the programme. 

The programme will be highly agile, and we require team players who can be flexible, problem solve on the go, innovate, and take initiative. Your expertise will be crucial in solving complex technical challenges and contributing to the success of space missions.

You will be specifying, developing, and integrating advanced DSP/FPGA systems, complex SoC systems, ASIC/MMIC chipset development. through to safety and security critical systems; using the latest embedded devices from all the major vendors (e.g. Xilinx, Intel, Texas Instruments, Analogue devices etc)

The role is multi-disciplinary so you will have opportunity to develop a variety of skills ranging from, but not limited to, Embedded-System design, Software design, FPGA design and Hardware design.

NB: Right to work:

Please be aware we will currently require you to have the right to work in the work in the UK without requiring sponsorship.
