About Vimotek

Vimotek is a space company, recently named on Ny Teknik’s 33 List as one of Sweden’s most promising technology startups, working to de-risk spacecraft proximity operations, accelerate time-to-orbit and enable scaling of in-orbit services. The company equips space companies’ engineering and operations teams with leading dual-use solutions for in-space automation within two closely associated and complementary domains: 1) Digital Twins of Spacecraft for Missions Simulation and Validation and 2) AI-Driven Sensing, Perception and Control.

What you’ll build?

You will play a key role in developing Vimotek’s NavCam perception units - a sensor and compute platform that fuses cameras, LiDAR, and AI-driven processing to deliver actionable navigation data for spacecraft. This is not a paper-architecture role. You will be: designing real hardware, iterating on prototypes and seeing your designs move toward flight-ready systems for our international customers.

Your role

As Lead Electronics Engineer and Architect, you will own the electronics architectures and work closely with software, perception, and systems engineers to bring them to life. You will:

• Define and evolve the electronics architecture for sensor-heavy space systems
• Design, prototype, and test high-reliability electronics, from early prototypes to qualification and flight units
• Make key trade-offs around compute, power, sensors, and interfaces
• Collaborate with suppliers on component selection for robust, space-relevant designs
• Help shape engineering practices and mentor junior engineers as the team grows

Skills and Requirements

Required Skills and Qualifications:

• Solid experience designing electronics for robust or safety-critical systems (space, automotive, aerospace, robotics, or defense)
• ~10+ years of hands-on experience in electronics system architecture and PCB design
• Comfort working end-to-end: concept → schematic → layout → bring-up → test → manufacturing

Bonus Skills (Nice to Have)

• Familiarity with radiation tolerance, reliability standards, derating practices, and qualification processes.
• Experience with digital signal processing (DSP) implementations.
• Extensive simulation and testing experience.

The company’s primary language is English, proficiency in additional languages is a plus.

Location:

Either in Luleå or Stockholm but hybrid can be discussed
