What they look for

Almost every Posting asks for English, and most ask for fluent English. About six in ten name German. Technician and machinist roles often require German, and 13 shop floor Postings are written in German. Many other roles call German a plus. Some roles in Kiruna ask for Swedish, and roles in Andenes say that Norwegian helps.

Engineering roles ask for a degree in aerospace, mechanical, or electrical engineering, or equal experience. They ask for hands-on work with hardware and tests. Propulsion roles want experience with liquid rocket engines and with Python or MATLAB. Technician roles ask for completed vocational training, such as aircraft mechanic, and the ability to read engineering drawings.

Software roles name specific tools. The embedded role wants Python, C/C++, real-time systems, Linux, and CI/CD pipelines. The data role wants six years in C#, Java, Rust, or Python, plus Kafka and time-series data. The senior security role wants 10 years of hands-on security engineering.

Many roles ask you to travel to test and launch sites. Launch operations engineers travel for campaigns that last several weeks. Shop floor roles ask for shift work.
