Associated Supervisor: Head of Science
Location: Delft, The Netherlands
About the position: We are seeking a motivated Payload Engineer to join our multidisciplinary team and contribute directly to the development of the Science Testbed (a Tumbleweed prototype) . In this role, you will focus on the integration and testing of the payload bay, ensuring that the rover can accommodate scientific instruments reliably for planetary exploration missions. You will gain hands-on experience working with a cutting-edge prototype and collaborate closely with other engineering teams, scientists, and external partners. These tests will build up to a Martian Analogous test.
Close proximity to Delft, as this position requires regular on-site involvement.
Strong communication and intercultural skills for collaboration with internal teams and external partners.
Excellent written and spoken English.
Basic proficiency in mechanical integration and familiarity with tools used for assembly and testing.
Willingness to engage in continuous learning and personal development in both engineering and planetary science fields.

Making space exploration faster, cheaper, and more efficient.
At Tumbleweed Mars, we want to make deep space accessible for everyone, including space agencies, research institutions, companies, and space enthusiasts worldwide. Our interdisciplinary and international team is building the next generation of Mars rovers - cheaper, faster, more reliable. Tumbleweed Mars bio-inspired mission architecture is based on a swarm of wind-driven, lightweight, and spheroid rovers that will enable large-scale exploration of the Red Planet. We aim to bring down the cost of Mars data by 100x, significantly reduce the risk of missions, and cover a surface area per mission 107 times higher than all past missions combined. With this pioneering approach, Tumbleweed Mars is paving the road to a new, Martian economy.
