At Kreios Space, we are looking for an Embedded Software Engineer to join our team on-site in Porto do Molle (Nigrán) and help us
build robust, efficient, and thoughtfully designed embedded solutions for real-world space applications.
In this role, you will contribute to the development, integration, testing, and continuous improvement of embedded systems that
have a direct impact on the final product. We are looking for someone with a solid firmware background, good technical judgment,
and a hands-on mindset who enjoys solving challenges and seeing their work translate into something tangible and meaningful.
We are looking for someone with experience in embedded software or firmware development who is excited to contribute to innovative
technical projects in a collaborative environment.
At Kreios Space, you won’t just be working on isolated developments- you’ll be contributing directly to the product. Your work
will have a visible impact on what we build, how it performs, and how it evolves. This is a great opportunity for someone who
enjoys being close to the technology, the decisions, and the final outcome.
We also care a lot about creating an environment where people genuinely enjoy working together. We have a very good team
atmosphere, close collaboration, and a culture where ideas are welcome and contributions are valued.
YOUR MISSION As an Electronic Hardware Engineer, you will play a key role in designing and delivering robust electronic systems for space applications. You will be part of a multidisciplinary team and involved throughout the full development lifecycle, from early design concepts to production support, ensuring high reliability and performance in demanding environments.
