Jobs at Aurex

Designs, evaluates, and supports secure terrestrial enterprise networks for space-based systems. Responsibilities include network architecture, systems engineering, requirements development, design reviews, cybersecurity risk assessment, testing and verification, configuration management, technical documentation, acquisition support, integration, troubleshooting, and coordination across contractors, facilities teams, and geographically distributed sites. Travel to developer and customer locations is required.

Support development, verification, and testing of ground support equipment (mechanical or electrical) for launch vehicle operations. Create and manage requirements, perform system analysis (FMEA/Fishbone), collaborate with GSE design teams, ensure safety and quality compliance, support integration, and participate in design reviews and testing.

Develop and maintain SysML and MBSE system models for advanced aerospace and missile systems. Define architectures, requirements, behaviors, interfaces, and verification relationships; connect system models to simulation environments; support trade studies, prototype hardware development, integration, ground testing, and flight testing. Collaborate with GNC, software, electrical, mechanical, propulsion, test, and other engineering teams to identify design risks and support technical decisions.

Leads developmental test, verification, validation, and system integration for strategic satellite communications and ground systems. Plans and executes test activities, translates requirements into test procedures and acceptance criteria, develops test plans and verification reports, supports readiness reviews and space-to-ground integration, manages deficiencies, and collaborates with government, FFRDC, and contractor teams.

Plans and executes test activities, translates requirements into test objectives and acceptance criteria, develops test plans and verification reports, supports readiness reviews and space-to-ground testing, manages deficiencies, and collaborates with government, FFRDC, and contractor stakeholders.

Manages Strategic SATCOM cloud infrastructure programs and technical projects across cost, schedule, performance, and risk. Leads acquisition and contract documentation, stakeholder coordination, consensus building, and delivery. Analyzes risks and tradeoffs, develops response plans, and supports complex DoD acquisition, cloud modernization, and classified infrastructure programs.

Leads CFD simulations for fluid flow, heat transfer, and multiphase systems; develops computational models, prepares geometry and meshes, configures solvers, validates results against experimental data, and collaborates with design engineers to optimize aerospace and defense components. Documents methodologies and recommendations in client-ready reports while considering performance, manufacturability, cost, sustainability, and industry compliance.

Designs and optimizes aerospace vehicle trajectories and GNC algorithms for launch, re-entry, and intercept missions. Performs simulation, Monte Carlo analysis, sensitivity studies, and flight-test prediction and analysis. Integrates solutions into hardware- and software-in-the-loop environments while collaborating with systems, propulsion, and avionics teams to validate mission requirements and support mission planning.

Lead spacecraft attitude control systems engineering: develop and verify ACS architectures, control algorithms, and astrodynamics analyses; review contractor designs, support integration, testing, launch and on-orbit activities, attend design and program reviews, and advise on accommodation and risk mitigation. Requires active TS/SCI with Polygraph and extensive hands-on ACS expertise.

Design and develop circuit card assemblies and printed wiring boards from concept through production release. Create schematics, layouts, and documentation; select components; perform signal integrity and power distribution analysis; and ensure compliance with IPC, EMI/EMC, military, and aerospace requirements. Collaborate across engineering teams, oversee prototypes, conduct design reviews, and troubleshoot integration and testing. Support high-reliability electronics through manufacturability, testability, and production considerations.

The COMSEC Test Engineer tests and integrates encryption systems for space and terrestrial networks while ensuring operational readiness through configuration, troubleshooting, and functional validation.

This job is for candidates to submit a general application for potential future openings without a specific job description. Candidates will be contacted if a suitable position arises.

Support development, integration, test, and security verification of Military GPS User Equipment (MGUE). Develop test strategies, execute integration and validation, assess cryptographic and information assurance impacts, review ICDs/TRDs, monitor developmental/operational test execution, identify risks, and collaborate with government, FFRDCs, and industry to deliver mission-ready GPS capabilities.

Develops and runs trajectory simulations and 3-DOF/6-DOF vehicle models for missiles, spacecraft, hypersonic vehicles, and aerospace systems. Models vehicle dynamics, propulsion, aerodynamics, navigation, guidance, and control behavior; validates performance; conducts trade studies; optimizes simulation integration; collaborates on simulation tools; and documents technical analyses. The role requires extensive aerospace modeling experience and an active Secret or higher clearance.

Perform reliability engineering and safety analyses (FMEA/FMECA, PRA, FTA) for launch vehicles and spacecraft, collaborate with design teams, develop assurance products, present findings to program management and customers.

Develop, train, and evaluate reinforcement-learning agents for aerospace and defense decision problems. Build simulation-based learning environments, create end-to-end training and evaluation workflows, integrate learned policies with physics-based models, address real-time execution constraints, run Monte Carlo and sensitivity analyses, and provide technical leadership and documentation for operational deployment.

Serve as certification authority SME for the MSO program: review certification plans, software (DO-178) and AEH (DO-254) processes, approve MSO functional data, develop standards and correspondence, advise government and industry, support reviews and on-site assessments, maintain certification records, and identify/mitigate certification risks.

Design, develop, and integrate analog, digital, and mixed-signal electronic hardware for aerospace and defense systems. Lead circuit design, PCB reviews, simulation, testing, validation, EMI/EMC mitigation, and production support. Collaborate with multidisciplinary teams on firmware support, hardware bring-up, troubleshooting, and documentation while ensuring compliance with quality and regulatory requirements.
