Jobs at Benchmark Space Systems

Lead the development of Benchmark’s spacecraft systems engineering function. Establish engineering practices, own system-level trades, requirements, verification planning, interface documentation, and spacecraft budgets. Evaluate COTS components, assess qualification evidence, coordinate cross-functional technical needs, and support spacecraft integration, testing, and delivery. Build and mentor the systems engineering team while driving technical rigor across spacecraft programs.

Leads a spacecraft program across engineering, production, supply chain, finance, customers, subcontractors, and suppliers. Responsibilities include managing schedules, budgets, procurement, risks, contractual requirements, deliverables, change management, program reporting, and customer communications. The role oversees government contracts and subcontractor performance, coordinates cross-functional teams, manages production plans, and escalates risks. It requires technical program management experience in aerospace or high-technology environments, strong analytical and stakeholder-management skills, and U.S. person eligibility.

As a Test Mechatronics Engineer, you will design, build, and test propulsion products, develop testing systems, and collaborate with cross-functional teams.

Own spacecraft propulsion systems through requirements definition, design, fabrication, testing, qualification, and flight. Perform fluid, thermal, thermodynamic, and structural analyses; develop test plans; support prototype hardware, fabrication, and R&D. Collaborate cross-functionally with engineering, production, test, and external stakeholders. The role requires aerospace fluid systems experience, CAD proficiency, GD&T knowledge, and familiarity with propulsion components, plumbing, and instrumentation.

Design and deliver mechanical components and systems for small satellite propulsion from concept through production; generate CAD models and production drawings; collaborate with electrical, fluids, analysis, test, and production teams; source components and vendors; support customer reviews and documentation.
