Cleanroom Coordinator

As the Cleanroom Coordinator at cosine you are the central point of contact and hands-on coordinator for all cleanroom activities. You work closely with scientist-engineers, lab technicians, contractors and support teams to ensure a well-organized, safe and contamination-controlled environment.

At cosine, our cleanrooms are where precision meets space. Here, we build and test advanced optical instruments for ESA missions such as NewAthena and future space exploration programs.

You safeguard cleanroom integrity by ensuring compliance with procedures, safety standards and quality requirements, while actively supporting daily operations on the floor. You bring structure, alignment and clarity, enabling teams to focus on delivering high-end space hardware.

You are present, approachable and proactive. You coordinate, support and guide rather than delegate, and help create a collaborative environment where people take ownership and perform at their best.
