OHB Sweden is a leading provider of satellites and satellite sub-systems for Low-Earth-Orbit, geosta-tionary and interplanetary
missions. We develop, build, test and operate space systems for missions within communications, earth observation, space research
and exploration. Our activity focus is small satellites as well as on propulsion subsystems and innovative Attitude & Orbit
Control Systems (AOCS).
We are now looking for a new team member for our Business Development and Sales team, ready to enable our customers’ space
ambitions. We are looking for an experienced commercially driven Satel-lite Business Engineer with a strong technical foundation,
a creative and solution-oriented mindset, and the ability to understand complex space systems and translate satellite capabilities
into clear cus-tomer value and viable technical and commercial solutions. It is a great advantage if you have experi-ence from the
space or defence business.
As Satellite Business Engineer you will work in our growing and highly dynamic Business Develop-ment & Sales team and play a key
role in our business growth. You will interact heavily with our exist-ing and new customer base, where you will need to understand
technical mission needs, system-level requirements, and operational constraints, and translate OHB Sweden’s satellite systems and
capabil-ities into customer-specific solutions that match operational and business needs. As a Satellite Busi-ness Engineer you
will represent the full range of OHB Sweden’s offering to commercial, institutional and defence markets, and lead
technical-commercial discussions from early customer dialogue through proposal and contract phases.
The tasks of the Satellite Business Engineer include:
Marketing and sales activities, including exhibitions and customer meetings
Preparation of sales and marketing plans, including marketing material
Identify new business opportunities and build strong client relationships.
- Technical and commercial assessment of customer needs, including translating satellite systems and capabilities into
customer-relevant solutions
Negotiate contracts and manage the full sales cycle.
Proposal preparation, including both technical and commercial parts
Cost estimations and pricing strategies
We expect you to be able to work independently and in close collaboration with engineering and do-main experts to shape
technically sound and commercially competitive customer solutions, and to translate satellite systems and subsystem capabilities
into compelling offerings for different customer missions and use cases.

- At least 5 years of experience in space systems or related high-technology fields such as aer-ospace, defence,
telecommunications, or advanced technology sectors, with exposure to tech-nically complex products or services.
- Strong ability to understand and communicate technical concepts clearly, and to engage credi-bly with both engineering teams and
non-technical decision-makers.
- Good understanding of satellite systems, mission applications, or subsystem-level technolo-gies, with the ability to contribute
to technical assessments, proposal development, and the translation of technical capabilities into customer-oriented solutions.
Ability to work in a dynamic, fast-paced and changing environment
Fluent in English, both spoken and written
Located in, or willingness to relocate to the Stockholm area in Sweden
Added advantageous qualifications:
- Experience in business development or technical sales, including proposal writing, require-ment analysis, and contract
negotiations
- Experience working with institutional programs such as ESA, EU, or defence-related custom-ers in technically demanding
environments
Experience with CRM systems like Salesforce
Experience with satellite missions, payloads, propulsion, AOCS, or other space system do-mains is highly valued
Swedish proficiency both in spoken and written
Being a company with around 180 international employees and growing, much of the expertise lies on the employee to handle tasks
autonomously, efficiently and work closely with colleagues, suppliers and customers. As you will have a lot of external contacts
an outgoing personality is essential. Travel will be required for both customer meetings, conferences and events.
If you are highly motivated to participate in the development of future space systems, feel confident that you meet the above
requirements and want to find yourself in a dynamic and inspiring work envi-ronment, then we look forward to hearing from you!
