We are now looking for a Ground Safety Engineer who shares our values - Customer Passion, Care, Collaboration, Curiosity, and Courage - and wants to play an important role in our continued growth and development within space technology and launch operations.
REQUIREMENTS
Do you want a job where safety and space truly come together? As a Ground Safety Engineer in our Launch Team, you will play a key role in making our rocket and balloon launch campaigns possible.
In this position, you will work closely with the operational team and have a clear purpose: to ensure a safe and secure environment during our campaigns. Your responsibilities will span the entire process - from planning and preparation to being present during launch operations.

The role also involves operational work on-site during rocket and balloon campaigns, requiring flexibility in both working methods and working hours.
RESPONSIBILITIES
To succeed in this role, we believe you are someone who thrives in a dynamic environment. You are flexible, solution-oriented, and comfortable quickly shifting your focus when circumstances require it. You have a strong technical interest and a safety mindset that comes naturally to you.
We would like you to have:
A degree in Engineering or equivalent experience within a relevant technical field.
Experience in safety-related work, risk assessments, or working in environments where safety is a key priority.
