international teams with a proactive and collaborative attitude /li liStrong communication skills in English, both written and spoken /li /ul h3What we offer /h3 pAt cosine, we highly value our employees, and we will support your professional and personal development.
We also provide our employees with:br/ /p ul liA unique, international working environment at the intersection of physics and engineering /li liThe opportunity to deliver end-to-end solutions in autonomous project teams, in close collaboration with customers /li liA competitive salary with an annual premio based on individual and company performance /li li20 days of annual leave (based on full-time employment) /li li13th month salary payment /li liHybrid working options, including the possibility to work partially from home /li liA personal development budget /li liInitial one-year contract, with the aim of long-term collaboration /li /ul h3About cosine /h3 pFounded in ****, cosine is a world-leading developer of space instrumentation and measurement systems, making the invisible measurable and the complex actionable.
/p pIts expertise spans High-Energy Optics, including optics developed for ESA's future NewAthena X-ray observatory, as well as remote sensing solutions for Earth Observation and planetary science.
/p pWith over 25 years of experience and advanced cleanroom and assembly facilities across the Netherlands, Germany, and Italy, cosine brings deep scientific and engineering expertise to some of the most demanding missions in space and on Earth.
/p pWhat makes cosine a unique place to work is that your work goes end-to-end: from concept and design to building, testing, and delivering hardware that actually flies in space.
You work in small, highly skilled teams where you have real ownership and impact, alongside experts in optics, physics, nanofabrication, and systems engineering.
/p pcosine is committed to providing an inclusive and equal opportunities work environment where everyone can thrive.
As a proud member of the Women in Aerospace community, we recognise the importance of diversity, inclusion, and equal opportunity in the workplace.
