Engineering the Future of Space Hardware: Life at Reflex Aerospace

What does it take to engineer the next generation of satellite hardware? At Reflex Aerospace, it starts with a passion for problem-solving and a drive to push the limits of what’s possible in orbit. In this video, Senior Hardware Engineer Mirian Carrasco and Satellite Systems Engineer Tomás Ignacio Burroni share what inspires their work and what it truly means to design technology that must perform flawlessly in the harsh environment of space.

Every aerospace engineer knows that space is the ultimate test. Satellites must endure intense radiation, extreme temperature shifts, and years of continuous operation, all without a single chance for repair. That’s why hardware engineering for satellites demands precision, creativity, and deep collaboration across disciplines. At Reflex, our engineers work on everything from custom circuit boards and power systems to thermal and structural subsystems, ensuring each part meets the highest standards of performance and reliability.

Mirian and Tomás describe how working at Reflex combines cutting-edge design tools, rapid prototyping, and an open culture of innovation. Engineers are encouraged to experiment, learn, and iterate quickly, mirroring the agility that defines Europe’s growing New Space industry.

For those exploring aerospace careers, this video offers a rare look behind the scenes of a modern satellite manufacturer. It shows how engineers transform ideas into flight-ready hardware, and how teamwork, curiosity, and precision engineering come together to make missions possible.

If you’re considering a career in space technology or hardware design, Reflex Aerospace offers opportunities to contribute to real missions and see your work launched beyond Earth.
