Position Description:

Contribute to Europe’s satellite navigation program
Are you analytical, precise, and persistent? This is your opportunity to contribute to the Galileo satellite navigation program, developed by the European Union in collaboration with ESA. As part of the testing team, you will be testing and verifying a mission-critical system at the heart of the Galileo infrastructure.

Your role in our team
As a Test Engineer / System Engineer, you will be part of a multidisciplinary team working on the integration and verification of a secure operational system in a complex space environment.

Your responsibilities include:

• Performing integration and verification tests
• Producing and maintaining test procedures, traceability, and test documentation
• Investigating findings and archiving test evidence
• Managing and maintaining the test bench (tools and systems under test), including execution at ESTEC Noordwijk.

How you strengthen our team
You are independent, eager to learn, and thrive in environments where accuracy and structure are key. You’re comfortable with manual testing and you can adapt quickly to technical systems and procedures. You do not mind working on location; in our office or at the client in Noordwijk.

You are also:

• Interested in systems/the larger picture
• Comfortable with frequent troubleshooting
• Not afraid to work with newly developed or custom components
• Flexible and resilient
• Skilled at dealing with vague requirements or changing priorities
• Aware that remote work is very limited in this role

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree (HBO or WO) in a relevant field
• Experience with manual testing
• Experience in system engineering or technical testing
• Strong ability to learn and work with custom test tools
• Analytical mindset, attention to detail, perseverance, and a results-oriented approach
• Flexible and proactive attitude
• Comfortable in English, both spoken and written

You will be our ideal candidate if you are also:
• Interest or experience in the space sector or security systems
• Familiarity with server rooms or networking environments
• Familiar with IBM’s DOORS or similar requirement tools
• Basic scripting or programming familiarity
• Experience with Galileo systems is a plus

Where will you be working?
You will work within CGI Space on the Galileo satellite navigation program in an international and technically challenging environment. Your work will take place from our office and at the client location at ESTEC in Noordwijk, where you will work closely with ESA and other stakeholders.

Remote work is very limited in this role due to the nature of the systems and testing activities.

AI & Futureproof
At CGI, we continuously assess the impact of new technologies on our services and the solutions we develop for our clients. Developments in AI and automation are also playing an increasingly important role.

Why join us?
This role offers a unique working environment. International, technically challenging, and societally impactful. You'll work closely with ESA and other stakeholders on a system used across Europe. You will become a vital part of the team. The tasks are highly varied, offering plenty of room for growth and no shortage of technical and operational challenges. We also have a lot of cake and cookies in the office.

Please note that holding an EU passport is mandatory for obtaining an EU Personal Security Clearance at the CONFIDENTIAL level, which is a part of our selection process.
A pre-employment screening is part of the application process.
