ground and space that measure key parameters of the Sun. The director is also an
affiliated professor at ETH-physics.
Project background
PMOD/WRC is research institute and international calibration centre, focussed on
the measurement of solar irradiance. The PMOD/WRC was established 113 years
ago, where an international team of about 50 people conduct prestigious research.
PMOD/WRC has been involved in the development of space instruments since the
1980s, with the most recent launch being the ESA Solar Orbiter mission in Febru-
ary 2020. We are involved in future ESA missions, and a JAXA/NASA mission.

tasks. This includes writing the test plans and results as well as detailed documen-
tation in English language according to NASA/ESA/JAXA standards.
Requirements
An education as an electrical technician (focus on electronics) with a college di-
ploma (FH/ETH) would be a suitable basis to successfully fulfil these tasks.
Ideally, you already have sound knowledge and experience in the development,
implementation and production of analogue and digital electronic circuits and
PCB’s. You should also be familiar with Altium, Python and FPGA design and de-
