Senior Principal Systems Engineer

Here at The Exploration Company, we are developing, producing, and operating Nyx, a modular and reusable space orbital vehicle that can eventually be refuelled in orbit and that can carry cargo - and potentially humans in the longer run.

We are looking for a senior, hands‑on digital leader to define and drive our enterprise systems landscape. You will own the ERP strategy and implementation (Odoo), oversee execution by internal and external engineering teams, and ensure seamless integration with adjacent tools (e.g., MES, data/BI platforms, and other operational systems).

You bridge business needs, engineering execution, and system architecture — ensuring scalable, reliable, and well‑integrated digital operations across the company.

Serve as the strategic digital partner to global organization

Manage software procurement, vendor selection, contract negotiation, and license governance

Support data centralization and visualization initiatives across systems

Proven experience leading ERP implementations (Odoo, SAP, or comparable systems)

Strong understanding of enterprise system architecture and integrations (APIs, ETL/ELT, data flows)

Working knowledge of Python and SQL

Experience managing external vendors and subcontractors

Background as Senior Consultant / Solutions Architect in Finance or Manufacturing environments

Experience with BI and dashboarding tools (e.g., Power BI, Tableau)

Experience scaling digital systems in fast‑growing companies

We’re Agile - we make decisions fast whilst keeping our goals and systems in mind

We’re Open and Collaborative - we are transparent about risks and obstacles, so that we can cooperate to overcome them

It’s a wonderful and rare opportunity, are YOU up for the challenge?

Please submit your CV now for immediate consideration and we will be in touch shortly.

Relocation assistance is provided for those willing to relocate including visa sponsorship where applicable.
