Space and Satellite Recruitment

The European space and satellite sector continues to grow, increasing demand for experienced engineers and software professionals. At European Tech Recruit, we deliver space and satellite recruitment agency support as part of our wider technology recruitment expertise, helping organisations ranging from established aerospace businesses to scaling SMEs and emerging space technology companies.
We work with businesses operating in fast-moving technology markets, supporting hiring for specialist roles. Using our sector knowledge and established candidate network, we support hiring across satellite systems and earth observation, alongside wider engineering roles.

We help employers and professionals exploring careers involving space across Europe. Because we recruit across advanced technology industries, we can reach specialists who aren't always actively looking for a new role. Our latest spacetech jobs also highlight current opportunities across the market, so make sure to take a look at them too.

Our Space and Satellite Recruitment Specialisms

We support recruitment across specialist technical roles within the space and satellite sector. As part of our wider technology recruitment work, we help organisations hire for specialist roles where practical experience matters.

Every search starts with a clear technical brief, helping us find candidates who match the role.

Satellite Engineering & Manufacturing Recruitment

Demand for satellite engineering and manufacturing talent continues to grow across Europe as organisations expand development and testing. We support hiring for roles in satellite systems and manufacturing engineering.

Satellite Communications Recruitment

We work with organisations developing satellite communications networks and infrastructure. Our teams support recruitment across RF and network engineering, as well as those related to mid-to-senior technical positions within the wider communications and connectivity market.

Earth Observation & Remote Sensing Recruitment

We support organisations working in imaging and geospatial data through specialist earth observation and remote sensing recruitment. Many of these roles require specialist experience, so we focus on finding candidates with relevant backgrounds rather than relying on keyword matching alone.

What makes us stand out?

At European Tech Recruit, we work closely with clients and candidates throughout the hiring process. Our consultants combine technology recruitment experience with long-standing industry networks to find professionals with the right technical experience. We focus on finding candidates who are the right fit for the role.

Alongside our work in satellite and space technology recruitment, we also support hiring across other advanced technology sectors, including communications and semiconductors. This broader market reach helps us connect with specialists who may not be actively looking for a new role.

We support the recruitment process from the initial search through to placement. After a successful hire, we maintain regular contact with both clients and candidates to provide feedback where helpful and support long-term retention. We provide consistent support throughout the hiring process.

What Our Clients Say

I have worked closely with various members of the team at European Tech Recruit for some time. Their ability to attract top talent goes without saying (and their success speaks for itself), but their ability to establish a cultural as well as functional fit with NVIDIA is what sets them apart.

Hiring Manager
NVIDIA

Stephen (Principal Consultant at European Tech Recruit) handled the recruitment of many of the vacancies in my teams at Agile Robots. Through his proactivity, close engagement, and responsiveness to feedback, we were able to successively refine our descriptions and zoom in on the right candidates. Stephen was a patient and supportive partner throughout and even went beyond his duties to provide advice on some internal recruitment matters of our young startup.

As the quantity of vacancies increased, Stephen was our reliable point of contact to the multiple consultants who handled the individual position. I highly recommend Stephen to anyone looking for a recruitment consultant in the technology and engineering industries.

European Tech Recruit is one of the best recruitment agencies in the semiconductor industry.

They are identifying highly-skilled international candidates, who are very well briefed. Their Consultants are very supportive, professional, and persistent with their searches. Thank you very much for the great collaboration.

We first started speaking with European Tech Recruit regarding the Samsung android voice assistant (a voice-powered digital assistant for the Samsung Galaxy range) project with very aggressive ramp up figures of 0 to 190 across 3 major sites – Munich, Paris and Milan. The offices were ready, the project was starting imminently but there were only a few engineers onsite or secured.

We interviewed 192 qualified CVs from European Tech Recruit, placing 55 consultant SW engineers and technical leaders across all sites. They quickly became the programs lead supplier (No.1 of 25 globally).
European Tech Recruit were able to use all their recruiters to service our needs, accessing their full delivery capability across the whole company as one unit, and using one point of contact as an Account Manager.
The consistent quality of the candidates sent meant we were able to staff phase 1 of the project within 2-3 months, placing entry or experienced engineers and technical leaders all on freelance/contract. European Tech Recruit managed the end-to-end solution including compliance in all three countries.

We found working with European Tech Recruit simple and transparent. We had one dedicated Account Manager for everything, including CVs, arranging interviews, and delivering offers. He was available at round the clock (including weekends) to assist with any issue that came up. European Tech Recruit were able to work to extreme deadlines, working as a partner rather than an agency, staffing all areas including NLP, NLU, ASR and TTS. In addition, at times we asked them to search for translators with no real technical ability and they still produced quality candidates that are still working with us now.
European Tech Recruit produced more quality applicants than any other agency on this program and now we continue to work closely with Ian and his team with our other projects (including APAC region) as we trust they can deliver, and we look forward to a long and fruitful continued relationship with them.

Thank you European Tech Recruit for being a partner.

3

How do you support companies and candidates in the space and satellite sector?

We support space and satellite hiring as part of our wider technology recruitment work across Europe. Our consultants use established technical networks to build shortlists that match the technical brief. For candidates, we provide access to specialist hiring projects and spacetech jobs that may not be visible through general job boards.

4

How long does it typically take to fill a satellite recruitment role?

Timelines vary depending on the technical level and availability of specialist talent. In general, permanent positions are typically filled within 1 – 2 months, while contract and interim assignments are often completed within 4 – 6 weeks once the brief is finalised.

5

How does your process work for clients hiring in the space sector?

We begin with a detailed briefing to understand the technical requirements. From there, we engage suitable candidates and present a curated shortlist aligned with the role requirements.

6

Do you work with candidates across Europe?

Yes, we support clients across the UK and Europe and work with candidates throughout these regions. We also engage with international professionals when roles require specialist technical experience.

7

Can you support remote or hybrid working roles?

8

How do you ensure candidates are technically suitable?

Our consultants assess technical suitability through detailed CV reviews and discussions about technical experience. Unlike some space and satellite recruitment agencies, we conduct formal technical assessments only where these are included as part of the client’s recruitment process.

Possibly. While our team focuses on the European market, we also have specialist teams covering other regions. If you’re looking for opportunities in the US or elsewhere, USA Tech Recruit or our global team will be better placed to help.
