We want you as a talented MAIT Electrical and Test Technician to help us in our mission by:

• Being involved in any type of operations for the Exploration Company in our factory, like all the electrical operations on our orbital capsules, assembly operations, harness wiring but also any type of electrical tests (including RF) and setup for these tests

• setting up the factory and the EGSE (Electrical Ground support equipments) that we will have to install

• working closely together with the MAIT Electrical Engineer and Lead AIT but also with any other engineers or technicians in AIT

Key Responsibilities

In your capacity as MAIT Electrical and Test Technician, your role will be continuously evolving, but day to day your duties will include:
