Mission-critical satellite systems and ground support equipment for next-generation space infrastructure
Redwire Europe designs and manufactures embedded systems for satellites, avionics, and ground support equipment—a portfolio reflected in heavy C/C++/FPGA/VHDL engineering (26 of 33 open roles) alongside MATLAB/Simulink for control systems. The hiring mix skews toward mid- and senior-level engineers with leadership gaps in systems integration and payload engineering, matching active work on kinematics simulation, GCS hardware integration, and EN9100 quality framework maturation. Cyber threat mitigation and design-to-manufacturing transitions appear as operational friction points.
Notable leadership hires: Ground Support Equipment Lead, Systems Engineering Lead, Payload Integration Lead
Redwire Europe operates as the regional hub of Redwire Corporation (NYSE:RDW), an aerospace and defense company with approximately 1,300 employees globally. The Belgian operations house embedded software teams, avionics specialists, and manufacturing groups focused on satellites, docking systems, life support hardware, robotics, and ground support equipment. The company builds platforms for both commercial and government space programs, with facilities also in Luxembourg and Poland. Work spans satellite electronics design, kinematics and control software, and complex acquisition programs that demand both engineering depth and quality assurance rigor.
Core languages are C, C++, Python, and VHDL for embedded and satellite systems. Simulation and control rely on MATLAB, Simulink, and Simscape. Robotics use ROS/ROS 2, PX4, and Gazebo. CAD, dSPACE, and SysML handle design and modeling. Security tools include Microsoft Sentinel, CrowdStrike, and Defender products.
Headquarters is in Kruibeke, Flemish Region, Belgium. The company also operates facilities in Luxembourg and Poland, with current hiring in Belgium, Luxembourg, Latvia, and Finland.
