Junior Embedded Systems Engineer
Space assets and services are not fully monetized. At Revolv Space, we are solving the problem of low duty cycles by developing and manufacturing the next generation of critical subsystems enabling continuous spacecraft operations and therefore full monetization of space assets.
We start with tackling the power limitations of small satellites by providing a fail-safe and autonomous Solar Array Drive Assembly for small satellites.
To achieve this mission, we are on the lookout for an autonomous designer and a prototyping guru to fill the role of Junior Embedded Systems Engineer at Revolv Space. Your role will be to conduct the development and prototyping of embedded systems for space products and related ground equipment. This role puts you in close collaboration with the Head of Embedded Systems, offering a unique perspective into the workings of a fast-growing startup. It's a chance to play a crucial part in our team, where your contributions will directly shape the space systems we develop.
Starting month: September 2026
Working language: English
Working location: Turin, Italy
Your mission:
designing and prototyping of electronics for space systems;
developing and conducting tests for design validation and flight qualification;
planning and execution of engineering and qualification tests of the electronic systems of our products;
formulation and verification of engineering concepts;
active contribution in the preparation of the production processes.
What you bring:
electronics, embedded software, automation, robotics, or similar engineering background;
2+ years of demonstrated professional experience in autonomous design of electronics (experience in design of space equipment/scientific measurement apparatus particularly welcome);
Demonstrated ability to solder prototype PCB assemblies and fabricate custom wiring harnesses for laboratory test setups.
Basic programming skills in Python for device testing and script automation.
Hands-on experience with microcontrollers and single-board computers (e.g., Arduino, Raspberry Pi) to build functional test environments.
ability to work independently;
fluent use of English.
Nice to have:
experience in the space industry;
good knowledge of physics in the context of space engineering (effects of radiation, vacuum and thermal stresses on electronic systems);
good knowledge of space industry standards, in particular those referring to design, assembly, integration and testing of electronic systems;
What we offer:
RAL between EUR 28.000-38.000, according to both real experience and proficiency in the role
goal-oriented environment with flexible working hours;
possibility of occasional remote work;
international team driven by passion and commitment;
company activities and retreats;
meal vouchers (Buoni pasto);
hands-on experience with the design, manufacturing, and testing of space-grade systems;
direct impact on a NewSpace startup in the heart of Europe’s high-tech hub.

Studies have shown that women and people from unprivileged backgrounds are less likely to apply to jobs unless they meet every single qualification. At Revolv Space, we are dedicated to building a diverse, inclusive and authentic workplace, so if you’re excited about this role but your past experience doesn’t align perfectly with every qualification in the job description, we encourage you to apply anyways. You may be just the right candidate for this or other roles.
