Satellite design and operations for ESA science and commercial missions
OHB Sweden builds complete small satellites and spacecraft subsystems for European space agencies and commercial operators. The tech stack—C/C++, MATLAB, ANSYS, FPGA, real-time OS (RTEMS)—reflects deep embedded and control systems work; adoption of AWS signals infrastructure modernization for mission operations. Engineering dominates hiring (19 of 26 open roles, mid-to-senior weighted), consistent with active flight-qualified projects spanning solar observation, deep-space interception, and earth imaging.
OHB Sweden is a Stockholm-based satellite manufacturer and member of OHB AG Group, a publicly listed European aerospace company. The subsidiary operates as the Space Systems division, designing, building, and operating small-to-medium spacecraft for ESA science missions, commercial earth observation, and interplanetary exploration. Active heritage includes the InnoSat microsatellite platform and completed missions such as Odin and PRISMA. Current work spans propulsion subsystems, attitude control, structural design, and flight software for programs including Solar Orbiter, Euclid, and Comet Interceptor. The organization operates across systems engineering, mechanical design, avionics, and mission operations, with all hiring concentrated in Sweden.
C, C++, Python, MATLAB, Simulink, FPGA, ANSYS for modeling; RTEMS real-time OS; AWS, Jenkins, Git for infrastructure; Altium for electronics; IBM DOORS for requirements.
Heritage includes Freja, Astrid 1&2, Odin, SMART-1, and PRISMA (Mango/Tango). Current work uses the InnoSat platform for smallsats including GMS-T, MATS, AWS, EIS, and GARAI. Active programs: Solar Orbiter, Euclid, Comet Interceptor.
