ph3About Impulso.Space /h3pImpulso.Space puts satellites into orbit. We build and manage rideshare missions: aggregating payloads from multiple customers on a single flight, integrating them, and accompanying them until release into orbit alongside major international launch providers. We are an Italian company with a subsidiary in the United States. /ph3Role Overview /h3pYou will take charge of the systems engineering and architectural design for our upcoming launch missions. As the core technical authority, you will engineer the solutions that ensure perfect physical and functional compatibility between customer payloads, deployers, and launch vehicles, while also providing systems engineering support for internal projects and company assets. /pulliPosition: bSystem Engineer /b /liliContract: bFull-time, Permanent (CCNL Metalmeccanico Industria) /b /liliSalary: b€38,000 – €45,000 Gross Annual Salary (RAL), commensurate with experience /b /liliLocation: bFull Remote (Italy), with approximately 2 days per month at headquarters in the Treviso area /b /liliTravel: bUp to 2-4 consecutive weeks per campaign at facilities in Florida and launch sites (Vandenberg SFB, Cape Canaveral) /b /liliReports to: bChief Operating Officer /b /liliReports to: bTechnical Director /b /li /ulh3Key Responsibilities /h3h3Systems Engineering Requirements /h3ulliTranslate mission objectives into detailed technical specifications, defining system requirements and engineering architectures for complex rideshare configurations. /liliProvide Systems Engineering support for internal company projects, tools, and technical developments alongside customer and launch provider interface management. /liliDraft, verify, and maintain Interface Control Documents (ICDs), engineering the mechanical, electrical, and data boundaries between payloads, deployers, and the launch vehicle.
