Since the first Apollo Mission on the Moon in 1969 the Space Research and Planetary Sciences Division of the University of Bern is actively participating in space exploration missions to planetary objects in our solar system, such as Moon, Mars, Jupiter and others. For a new mission opportunity, the group has to deliver a novel mass spectrometric system that shall measure on-site the chemical composition of solids fully autonomously. Current plans foresee to send the first of two units no earlier than 2027. To help meet these challenges, we are now seeking an experienced Software & Test Engineer 80 - 100%.
