<p><strong><span lang="EN-US">We are currently not conducting an active recruitment process for this position. However, we are building a talent pool and would be delighted to consider your profile for future opportunities.</span></strong></p>

<p><span data-contrast="auto">As a Senior Launch Operations Engineer,&nbsp;you’ll&nbsp;join&nbsp;the team in Germany&nbsp;that shapes how our missions come to life.&nbsp;From the moment a campaign is conceived, you are the one aligning global launch sites, synchronizing teams and defining the operational path that&nbsp;ultimately determines&nbsp;how—and whether—the rocket leaves the ground.</span><span data-ccp-props="{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6,&quot;335559740&quot;:360}">&nbsp;</span></p>
