Software Engineer, Space

13+ years Engineering Experience across the life cycle for spacecraft and space systems

3+ years of leading a systems engineering team working on small spacecraft

Experience developing subsystem requirements and interfaces; including mission systems

Experience on mature spacecraft development programs including operational and environemental testing.

Experience developing various design artifacts, such as: Design Review material (CoDR, SDR, PDR, CDR, TRR, etc), trade studies, risk matrices and burn-down plans, non-conformance investigations and dispositioning

Demonstrated High ownership and autonomy across the entire cradle-to-grave lifecycle of a spacecraft or space system.

In this role, you will be responsible for the full life cycle of design, development, integration & test, and operations for spacecraft and associated systems including maintaining and managing requirements, risks, budgets, and trade studies; interfacing with the other spacecraft disciplines to assure the system is meeting requirements and goals; and interfacing with customers and internal stakeholders to communicate progress.

Additionally, you will be responsible for helping develop the system and mission designs & concepts, and, as the expert systems engineer, for mentoring and growing your team.

Work with a cross-functional team to design market leading hardware products

Drive product maturity through rapid prototyping, design verification, and qualification activities

Apply modern space-flight hardware design standards and guidelines to create high-reliability, highly manufacturable systems

Develop, track, and maintain system requirements and work with other disciplines to assure the overall system as well as subsystems are meeting, testing, and verifying compliance with the requirements

In the Space Special Programs team, we build spacecraft and space systems which serve a wide variety of functions in the space architecture. At a time when space superiority can no longer be taken for granted and with space systems proliferating at an incredible rate, the Space Special Programs team provides advanced, mission critical capabilities to our customer base to be able to more effectively operate and survive within this expanding environment with limited personnel. Working across product, engineering, sales, logistics, operations, and mission success, the Space Special Programs team develops, tests, deploys, and operates new, unique, space capabilities to drive mission success in challenging operational environments.
