Senior Embedded Systems Architect
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 a Senior Embedded Systems Architect at Revolv Space. In this role, you won't just build electronics; you will own the architectural integrity of our embedded systems from initial concept through to flight qualification.
As a core member of our Embedded Systems team, you will exercise systems-level thinking to ensure harmony between hardware, firmware, and mechanical constraints. You’ll be joining a fast-paced startup environment where your decisions directly dictate the performance and reliability of technology headed for orbit.
Location: Turin, Italy
Working language: English
Starting date: June-July 2026
Your mission:
Be responsible for the system-level engineering design, prototyping, and flight qualification of avionics / embedded systems (electronics, electrical and firmware) for space systems
Define architecture and conduct system-level design trade-offs across hardware, firmware, and system behavior
Mentor and establish best practices for the embedded/electronics team
Plan and execute engineering and qualification tests, including environmental and reliability campaigns
Contribute to product strategy, roadmap, and technology decisions
Formulate and verify engineering concepts, ensuring scalability and manufacturability
Identify, assess, and mitigate technical risks across projects
Support production readiness, industrialization, and supplier interactions
Collaborate horizontally across product teams to ensure technical alignment of firmware, electrical and electronics engineers
Represent the company in technical discussions with customers and partners
What you bring:
electronics, embedded software, automation, robotics, or similar engineering background;
17+ years of demonstrated professional experience in design and system / architecture-level work on avionics / embedded systems (experience in design of space equipment/scientific measurement apparatus particularly welcome);
system thinking;
previous experience in the space industry;
good knowledge of physics in the context of space engineering (effects of radiation, vacuum and thermal stresses on electrical, electronic systems and related firmware);
good knowledge of space industry standards, in particular those referring to design, assembly, integration and testing of electronic systems;
strong interpersonal skills with a desire to collaborate and contribute to team success;
ability to work independently;
fluent use of English.
What we offer:
RAL between EUR 75.000-85.000, 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
possibility of participation in the early-employee equity scheme.
About the hiring process:
15-min screening call with Gaia (HR Manager)
Take-home exercise
60-min in-depth technical interview with the engineering team, including the CTO
45-min behavioural interview with Marco (CEO), HR and the founding team
Welcome onboard!
The main language of the hiring process is English. We might ask you for an in-person meeting.
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.
