AIV Engineer – Help Build Satellites That Launch Into Orbit

2 days ago


Aalborg, Ålborg Kommune, Denmark Gomspace Full time 60,000 - 120,000 per year

Are you a hands-on engineer driven by precision, teamwork, and the thrill of space?

In our Satellite Assembly, Integration & Verification (AIV) Team, you'll work at the very core of building and preparing satellites for flight. From assembling cutting-edge systems to performing mission-critical tests, you'll ensure every spacecraft that leaves our facility is ready for the challenges of space.

You'll help turn complex designs into spacecraft that make a real impact in orbit – from enabling communications to advancing Earth observation and science missions.

If you're passionate about hardware, love solving complex technical challenges, and want to see your work leave Earth's atmosphere – this is your launchpad.

Your Role

You'll work at the heart of our satellite production – bringing space systems from concept to flight readiness. Together with a team of dedicated engineers and technicians, you'll take responsibility for assembling, testing, and verifying our spacecraft to the highest standards.

Your tasks include:

  • Assembling and integrating electronic and mechanical components for satellite platforms

  • Performing functional and assisting in environmental testing (vibration, thermal vacuum, EMC)

  • Troubleshooting and resolving integration issues during build and test phases

  • Maintaining thorough documentation of procedures, test results, and non-conformances

  • Collaborating with engineering teams to continuously improve assembly and test workflows

Short- and Long-Term Success

In the initial phase, success means:

  • You're fully onboarded into our AIV processes and tools

  • You independently handle subsystem integrations and functional testing

  • You actively contribute to improving procedures and quality documentation

Longer term, you'll take ownership of full satellite integration campaigns, lead continuous improvement initiatives, and support launch site operations – ensuring each mission leaves Earth flawlessly.

What You Bring

You're a technically skilled and detail-oriented engineer who thrives in hands-on work. You understand the value of precision and teamwork in achieving mission success, and you know how to follow structured procedures while continuously identifying opportunities for improvement.

You likely:

  • Hold an educational background as an electronics technician or similar technical discipline

  • Have 5+ years of practical experience with hardware assembly, including PCB handling, cable harnessing, and subsystem integration

  • Are confident working with electrical and mechanical interfaces in complex systems

  • Communicate clearly and collaborate effectively across teams

  • Thrive on creating reliable, flight-ready systems that meet the highest standards of quality

Who You Are

You're not just assembling hardware – you're contributing to a mission. You take pride in your work and find purpose in precision.

You bring:

  • Helpfulness – you support colleagues and contribute positively to the team dynamic

  • Open communication – you're transparent, proactive, and follow up consistently

  • True ownership – you take responsibility and drive processes forward with integrity

  • Structure & clarity – you keep order in complex tasks and documentation

  • Curiosity & purpose – you're motivated by seeing your work make an impact in orbit

You're a team player with a hands-on mindset, eager to make space technology a reality.

Why Join Us?

At GomSpace, we're on a mission to shape the future of space – one mission at a time. Here, you'll be part of something bigger than just a project or a product. You'll help build systems that connect people, enable science, and expand humanity's reach beyond Earth.

We believe the best results come when talented people are trusted, supported, and inspired to push boundaries together.

Here's why you'll love working with us:

  • Be part of a global company making a real impact in the space industry

  • Get freedom under responsibility from day one – and grow with us

  • Join a dynamic, full-service environment where no two days are alike

  • Work across borders and build a strong international network
