About the Job

Requirements

  • Demonstrated LabVIEW programming ability, proven through demanding academic projects, extracurricular initiatives, or prior industry experience.
  • Practical experience setting up the full data acquisition chain, including physically connecting sensors and actuators, configuring National Instruments data acquisition systems, and establishing robust logging environments.
  • A strong understanding of sensor signals, industrial automation, or distributed input/output systems.
  • Fluent spoken and written English, as day-to-day engineering and documentation activities are conducted exclusively in English.

Responsibilities

  • Design and build intuitive LabVIEW user interfaces that enable test engineers to operate actuators and monitor live, high-frequency sensor telemetry.

Desired Qualifications

  • Experience with Beckhoff/EtherCAT is a strong plus.

About the Company

Rocket Factory Augsburg

Low-cost microlauncher for small satellites

Rocket Factory Augsburg provides flexible, low-cost launch services for small satellites, anchored by its RFA ONE launcher. The vehicle is a 30-meter three-stage rocket: nine Helix engines on the first stage, a vacuum-optimized Helix on the second stage, and a Redshift orbital transfer vehicle on the third stage to deploy satellites into different orbits. It cuts costs by applying automotive-style serial production and off-the-shelf components, aiming for roughly $3,000–$4,000 per kilogram. Its goal is to democratize access to space by enabling affordable, multi-orbit deployment for small-satellite missions.
