Design spacecraft missions and systems, derive and verify requirements, conduct system-level trade studies, manage technical budgets and interfaces, and author systems engineering documentation. Coordinate subsystem teams, support spacecraft integration, testing, reviews, mission operations, and in-orbit commissioning. Contribute to fault analysis, proposals, early mission studies, and technical presentations to stakeholders.

Design and verify guidance, navigation, control, and computer vision subsystems for spacecraft rendezvous and proximity operations missions. Responsibilities include requirements, architecture, algorithms, hardware integration, verification planning, trade-off analysis, flight software development, customer and supplier collaboration, and on-orbit operational support. The role requires aerospace or related engineering expertise, MATLAB/Simulink proficiency, and hands-on experience with GNC algorithms, subsystem architecture, hardware integration, or space mission technologies.

Design and verify guidance, navigation, and control subsystems for spacecraft rendezvous and proximity operations missions. Responsibilities include requirements, architecture, algorithm and hardware integration, verification planning, testing, trade-off analysis, software architecture, mission reviews, customer and supplier engagement, and on-orbit operational support. The role also involves developing computer vision and GNC solutions for advanced on-orbit servicing and active debris removal missions.

Lead robotics systems engineering for spacecraft on-orbit servicing and capture missions. Define requirements and verification strategies, oversee robotics supplier co-engineering, and collaborate across mechanical, thermal, software, and electrical disciplines. Support design, analysis, procurement, manufacturing, assembly, integration, testing, launch campaigns, and mission operations. Produce technical documentation and lifecycle review inputs while mentoring team members and applying expertise in robotics kinematics, dynamics, sensors, actuators, and space-environment design.

Drive technical cybersecurity across satellite design, manufacturing, operations, cloud and on-prem environments. Manage network, server, endpoint, OT/ICS, and cloud security; detect and respond to incidents via log/SIEM analysis; perform risk and vulnerability assessments; implement security designs and controls; deliver training, documentation, and continuous improvement (PDCA).

Support aerospace QA by learning QMS, product assurance, supplier quality, nonconformance and document management. Assist process visualization and improvement, product quality monitoring, supplier data structuring, and produce process maps, structured supplier datasets, quality records/KPIs, and a final report with presentation.

Lead design, governance, and execution of global compensation, equity, recognition, and reward programs. Establish job architecture and leveling, drive annual salary and incentive cycles, partner with execs, Finance, Legal and external consultants to align rewards with business strategy, talent attraction, and retention.

Design, develop, verify and deploy computer vision algorithms (object detection, tracking, 6DoF pose) for spacecraft and ground systems. Support subsystem architecture, hardware procurement, V&V, HIL testing, flight software integration, and collaborate across engineering disciplines while mentoring junior engineers.

Design, develop, verify, and deploy computer vision algorithms for space object detection, tracking, and 6DoF pose estimation. Define subsystem architectures and performance budgets, support V&V and flight-software integration, collaborate across engineering teams, procure CV hardware, and perform state-of-the-art research relevant to rendezvous and proximity operations.

Lead and perform mission operations across all phases for multiple LEO missions, including real-time spacecraft control, operations preparation, procedure and tool development, anomaly investigation, mission planning, and operations training. Provide technical leadership, mentor junior staff, contribute to system-level requirements and mission reviews, and develop novel operational concepts and mission control capabilities.

Support Director of Accounting managing global accounting operations, month-end close, consolidation, reconciliations, cash management, audit and tax support, maintain ledgers, analyze financial statements, and recommend system/process improvements while collaborating with the Office of the CFO.

Lead design, test and verification of spacecraft Command & Data Handling subsystems across the full lifecycle. Define requirements, ICDs, data budgets, test plans, FMECA/FDIR, circuit/PCB reviews, avionics integration, telemetry/telecommand interfaces, and support suppliers, flight software integration, AIV activities and anomaly investigation.

Design, build, and maintain backend services, frontend UIs, and databases for ground-segment mission-critical software. Develop containerised apps, CI/CD pipelines, collaborate cross-functionally, troubleshoot full-stack issues, and participate in Agile/SCRUM ceremonies for the ELSA-M mission and related projects.

Design, develop, and maintain scalable backend services and responsive frontends for ground segment systems. Manage databases, containerised deployments (Docker/Kubernetes), CI/CD pipelines, and cloud integrations. Collaborate in Agile/Scrum, troubleshoot full-stack issues, and deliver mission-critical software for space and adjacent industries.

Lead spectrum management and regulatory activities for Astroscale UK space missions, managing ITU satellite filings, frequency coordination, technical RF analyses, licensing, stakeholder engagement (Ofcom, ITU, government), and supporting spectrum policy and mission compliance from concept through operations.

Lead and execute sales and business development to win contracts with the Government of Japan and other customers for on-orbit services. Develop communication strategies, engage partners and business leads, prepare competitive proposals, and coordinate sales activities to secure orders. Support manager-assigned duties.

Design and develop MPU-based onboard electronics and electronic control devices for satellites. Lead mixed-signal circuit design, simulation and board-level verification, define interfaces/specifications, coordinate with suppliers, manage mass/power/data budgets, and plan/execute environmental and electrical tests and evaluate results.

Design, implement and verify spacecraft AOCS/GNC systems including control laws and algorithms for RPO and docking. Support system-level activities (CONOPS, FMECA, FDIR), GNC hardware/software architecture, simulation-based validation, and procurement trade-offs for sensors and equipment.

Lead operations preparation for spacecraft missions: define mission ops concepts, develop procedures, support simulators and mission databases, write test plans, coordinate with design and flight teams, support system validation tests and mission simulations, and provide operational support including potential on-call anomaly resolution.
