Our Expertise
At Demexios, we combine our industry expertise with a deep understanding of the unique needs of each sector to deliver optimal recruitment solutions.
Space and Satellite
Launch Systems
Launch systems are the rockets that put satellites and payloads into orbit. The sector is driven by innovation in reusability, cost reduction, and rapid launch cadence. Both agile SMEs and major primes are competing to serve the satellite market.
- In 2024 and 2025 supported a launcher SME by hiring a Lead Propulsion Engineer and a Plasma Physicist. For two larger operator, we placed Satellite Mission/Ops Manager and System Architects to reinforce launch operations.
Satellite Manufacturing
Satellites range from GEO platforms to CubeSats, built for communications, Earth observation, and science. Manufacturing involves system design, payload integration, AIT, and production leadership. The rise of constellations is driving demand for specialized talent.
- In 2023 and 2025 we placed System Engineers and Spacecraft AIT Specialist for two CubeSat SME. For a major prime, we recruited a Head of R&D and a Production Lead to strengthen their satellite assembly line.
Propulsion & Power Systems
Propulsion provides orbital mobility, while power systems sustain spacecraft with solar arrays, batteries, and advanced electronics. This domain is essential for constellations, exploration, and next-gen satellites.
- In 2025, for a propulsion SME, we recruited a Plasma Physicist and a Bi-propellant Engineer. For a larger satellite manufacturer, we placed a Deputy-CTO and a Mechanical Designer to modernize their power platforms.
Spacecraft Components & Subsystems
Subsystems cover avionics, AOCS, electronics, RF, and FPGA systems — the building blocks of any spacecraft. SMEs specialize in one subsystem, while primes integrate them into full platforms.
- In 2023 and 2024 we partnered with a German SME to place RF Engineers and Electronics Engineers. For a European prime, we recruited AOCS Engineers and FPGA Design Engineers to secure mission-critical subsystems.
Ground Segment
Ground systems connect space to Earth, enabling mission control, telemetry, and data management. Automation and secure networking are essential as constellations expand.
- In 2023 and 2024 we recruited a Flight Software Engineer and Satellite Mission/Ops Manager for a Nordic EO SME. For a multinational operator, we placed a System Architect and GIS Engineers to strengthen ground control and data exploitation.
Telecommunications & Navigation
Satcom and GNSS together provide global connectivity, secure communications, and precise positioning. They power broadband, defense communications, aviation, maritime mobility, logistics, and critical infrastructure. With LEO constellations and augmented navigation, the two domains are converging into integrated global services.
- From 2021 sor a constellation SME, we hired RF Engineers and Mission Sales Managers. For a government-backed program, we recruited a Flight Software Engineer, GNSS Engineers, and Physicists to ensure secure satcom and high-precision navigation systems.
Earth Observation (EO)
EO satellites deliver radar, optical, and hyperspectral data for climate monitoring, agriculture, urban planning, and defense. AI and cloud platforms are transforming this sector into one of the fastest-growing areas in space.
- For a SAR SME, we placed a GIS Engineer and a Data Engineer to boost their analytics team. For a multinational EO provider, we recruited Satellite Mission/Ops Manager to expand their commercial programs.
Software, AI & Sustainability
Software and AI are at the core of constellation management, mission autonomy, and EO analytics. Combined with sustainability and debris management, this subdomain ensures satellites can operate safely and efficiently in crowded orbits. It blends engineering, data, and regulatory expertise.
- We supported an AI/EO startup by hiring a Flight Software Engineer and a GIS Engineer. For a debris-removal SME, we recruited a GNC Engineer, while for a large operator we placed a QA Manager and a Head of Supply Chain to reinforce sustainability compliance.
Defense Industry
Aeronautics & Aerodynamics
Defense aviation spans fighter jets, UAVs, and future air combat systems. Aerodynamics, stealth design, and guidance technologies are critical for modern platforms.
- For a UAV SME, we placed Aerodynamics Engineers, GNC Engineers, and a Flight Software Engineer to strengthen their design and autonomy team.
- For a European prime, we recruited a Head of R&D, QA Managers, and a Production Lead to secure the development of next-gen UAVs and combat aircraft subsystems.
RF, Radar & Electronic Warfare
RF, radar, and EW systems secure surveillance, communications, and battlefield dominance. This field focuses on advanced radar arrays, jamming-resistant comms, and integrated EW suites.
- For a Nordic SME, we recruited RF & Microwave Engineers, Radar Systems Engineers, and a Power Electronics Engineer to modernize their defense radar portfolio.
- For a larger defense integrator, we placed Electronic Warfare Engineers, a Head of Supply Chain, and System Architects to oversee EW program deliveries across NATO contracts.
Power, Propulsion & Ballistics
Defense propulsion covers solid propellants, energetics, and missile propulsion, while ballistics engineers ensure precision and safety. Power electronics are increasingly used in guided systems and directed-energy weapons.
- For Nammo, we recruited a Ballistics Engineer, an Ammunition Production Manager, and a QA Manager to boost their ammunition and missile propulsion teams.
- For a missile systems prime, we placed a Lead Propulsion Engineer, Power Electronics Engineers, and a Head of Production to scale production for a new tactical missile line.
Optronics & Embedded Systems
Optronics deliver night vision, thermal imaging, laser guidance, and advanced targeting, while embedded software ensures mission reliability in real time.
- For a defense SME, we recruited Optronics Engineers, Embedded Software Engineers, and a Technical Sales Engineer to support their expansion in targeting systems.
- For a larger defense electronics group, we placed a System Architect, a QA Manager, and Radar Systems Engineers to integrate optronics with embedded avionics for multi-domain operations.
Naval & Ground Combat Systems
Naval and ground combat systems cover armored vehicles, naval combat software, and integrated weapons platforms. These programs require complex engineering, supply chain leadership, and production oversight.
- For a naval defense SME, we placed Naval Combat Systems Engineers, a Data Engineer, and a Physicist to enhance their combat management system design.
- For a land systems prime, we recruited a Head of Supply Chain, a Head of Production, and a Director of Operations to secure the industrial ramp-up of armored vehicles.
Ammunition & Armaments
Ammunition engineering focuses on safe, precise, and high-volume production of conventional and advanced munitions. This subdomain blends manufacturing expertise with strict quality and NATO compliance.
- For a Nordic ammunition SME, we hired Ammunition Production Managers, a QA Manager, and a Ballistics Engineer to reinforce their factory team.
- For a multinational defense manufacturer, we recruited a Head of Production, a Head of Supply Chain, and Mission Sales Managers to expand their European footprint.
