OHB Italia is seeking an Electronic Design Engineer (Ref. IAC_2026) for its Electronic Architects Engineer unit in Milan, Rome or Turin, with an immediate start.

We are responsible for the Avionic and Electrical Power Subsystem architecture and the design/development of the space electronic units, leading relevant engineering activities throughout the entire lifecycle of projects and products, from conception and feasibility studies through bids, proposal preparation, design, implementation, launch, LEOP and in‑orbit operations and maintenance.

Responsibilities

• Proven experience in electronic design and development
• Develop detailed electronic schematics and layout drawings
• Create and test electronic prototypes
• Ensure compliance with industry standards and regulations
• Collaborate with mechanical and software engineers to integrate electrical components
• Perform simulations and analyze test data to refine designs
• Select appropriate components and materials for electrical systems
• Troubleshoot and resolve electronic design issues
• Prepare technical documentation and user manuals
• Participate in design reviews and provide constructive feedback

• Three years of experience in a similar position

Specific Knowledge

As an Electronic Systems Engineer you will take the technical lead of the system/subsystem electronic aspects for the entire lifecycle of a project. You will start by understanding the customer electronic requirements, translating them into lower board‑level requirements, and performing a conceptual electronics design. You will then steer the electronics design team to work according to specification, planning and cost, ensuring overall technical coherence and providing follow‑up on the electronics design/development team from conceptual design to detailed implementation. You will also ensure proper requirement follow‑up and traceability throughout the project by reviewing the board‑level electronic circuits and assisting the project team during technical reviews, and finally prepare and participate in system/subsystem electronic functional and performance test campaigns before handing over the system/subsystem (including proper documentation) to the client.

Nice-to-have Qualifications

• Customer‑focused, proactive attitude
• Organized and methodical approach with strong communication skills
• Ability to manage multiple tasks simultaneously, work autonomously and in team setting
• Strong drive to achieve results within time and cost constraints
• Problem‑solving mindset
• Electrical background
• Availability for travel
• Experience with CAD software such as AutoCAD, EPLAN, OrCAD
• EMC background
• Familiarity with renewable energy technologies
• Publications or patents in relevant fields
• Membership in professional organizations like IEEE
