About EUSPA
The European Union Agency for the Space Programme (EUSPA) manages the EU's flagship space programs: Galileo (satellite navigation), EGNOS (aviation safety), and Copernicus (Earth observation). Headquartered in Prague, Czech Republic, EUSPA was established in 2021 as a successor to the European GNSS Agency (GSA). The agency employs approximately 350 staff and plays a critical role in ensuring European strategic autonomy in space. EUSPA manages the operational phase of EU space infrastructure, develops downstream applications, and promotes the commercial uptake of EU space services across sectors including transport, agriculture, emergency response, and climate monitoring.
Working at EUSPA
EUSPA offers positions in satellite navigation engineering, space programme management, cybersecurity, market development, and EU space policy.

Prague offers a high quality of life with lower cost of living compared to Brussels or Luxembourg, making it an attractive posting for EU careers. EUSPA provides both temporary agent and contract agent positions.
How to Apply
