Galileo Ground Segment Engineer (EUSPA)

Introduction

Serco is a trusted leader in Space Services, with a proud history spanning over 55 years and a track record of supporting more than 50 space missions for world-renowned agencies like ESA and NASA. Our expertise covers the entire space lifecycle—from satellite testing and launch services to spacecraft operations, space surveillance, and data management—making us a key partner in advancing national strategies and driving innovation in the New Space era.

High above Earth, Europe’s space systems work silently in the background, supporting navigation, safety, and security across the continent. At the heart of this effort is EUSPA, the European Union Agency for the Space Programme. EUSPA ensures that EU space services, such as Galileo and EGNOS, are reliable, secure, and deliver real value to citizens, businesses, and public authorities. By bridging space technology and everyday life, EUSPA plays a key role in making Europe more connected, resilient, and future-ready.

On behalf of our client EUSPA we are looking for a Galileo Ground Segment Engineer to support the activities on our client’s side in Prague, Czech Republic. The specialist will work in a team of multi lingual experts. In order to answer to our current customers, we are looking for a candidate fluent in English
