• Hands-on experience with on-premises server management and virtualized platforms (VMware, Hyper-V, or similar).
• Solid knowledge of Kubernetes and container orchestration.
• Proven troubleshooting and problem-solving skills, with the ability to quickly diagnose and resolve technical issues.
• Excellent communication skills in English (written and spoken), with the ability to collaborate across international and multidisciplinary teams.
• Structured, detail-oriented, and proactive mindset with a strong orientation to delivery.

Nice to Have

• Experience working in European space programs such as Galileo, Copernicus, or similar.
• Familiarity with ECSS standards or integration processes in aerospace/defense projects.
• Certifications such as CCNA/CCNP, Kubernetes CKA/CKAD, or VMware Certified Professional.
