About the job

Astroscale UK is looking for a Senior Simulation Software Engineer to join our team at our brand-new state-of-the-art office in Harwell, UK. This is a fantastic opportunity to be instrumental in the future development of a key component of our innovative satellite servicing spacecraft, with a vision of making a positive contribution to the problem that is space debris. To achieve this objective, our missions rely on powerful satellite simulators for validating and preparing the mission operations. Thus, we need to develop state-of-the-art simulators in-house, with responsibilities across the whole lifecycle, from design and development to testing and deployment. The candidate will provide technical expertise for the development of simulators at Astro scale UK. You will be simulating satellites in the toughest conditions and performing maneuvers in close proximity to other space assets. As a senior member of the team, you will work on all aspects of software development on our state-of-the-art simulators, from analysis and design, through to testing and deployment as well as mentor more junior team members.
