OHB Sweden is expanding its propulsion capabilities and is looking for an experienced Hall Effect Thruster (HET) Expert to

strengthen our team. You will play a key role in ensuring that our electric propulsion systems continue to meet the highest

standards of performance, reliability, and technical excellence.

This position is ideal for someone who has hands‑on experience with Hall Effect Thrusters, whether through development, testing,

evaluation, manufacturing, integration, or extensive procurement and supplier interaction, and who thrives in a collaborative

environment supporting cutting‑edge space missions.

As a Hall Effect Thruster Expert, you will serve as one of OHB Sweden’s in‑house specialists and technical point of contacts for

topics related to Hall Effect Thrusters and their associated subsystems. You will work closely with propulsion engineers, system

engineers, and project teams across the company to ensure high‑quality propulsion solutions for our satellites.

Your work will primarily involve supplier-facing technical leadership, internal expertise, and system-level integration support,

including:

• Conduct internal assessments of thruster performance, lifetime considerations, and compatibility with satellite system

requirements.

We are looking for a hands‑on expert with solid experience in Hall Effect Thrusters, ideally supported by a background in

spacecraft propulsion, plasma physics, or electric propulsion technology.

• Direct experience working with Hall Effect Thrusters — development, testing, manufacturing, analysis, qualification, or

procurement.

At OHB Sweden, you will be part of a highly skilled propulsion team with a wide range of specialties across electric and chemical

propulsion, system analysis, integration, and testing. You will contribute to innovative space missions and work in a flexible,

collaborative, and technically rich environment where your expertise truly matters.
