This hands-on player-coach contributes to design, code reviews, technology selection, and implementation while guiding buy-versus-build decisions.

Develop and maintain mission-critical internal software and platforms that automate workflows across information systems, factories, and launch operations. Own software delivery from concept through maintenance, contribute to architecture and technology decisions, and integrate systems such as ERP, PLM, MES, and supply chain platforms. The role requires full-stack development, database selection, API development, and adaptability in a fast-paced environment.

Build and test ground software and supporting tools for satellite constellations. Interns own scoped projects from design through implementation, participate in code reviews, document work, debug unfamiliar systems, and collaborate with software and hardware engineers. Projects may involve spacecraft tasking, component simulation, hardware software, image and sensor-data algorithms, or system integration.

Build, integrate, and debug hardware-in-the-loop testbeds and electrical ground support equipment for satellite missions. Responsibilities include assembling racks, avionics modules, harnesses, and interfaces; supporting EGSE design; troubleshooting hardware and communications issues; maintaining power, network, and lab infrastructure; documenting architectures and checkout procedures; and coordinating inventory and module builds.

Own documentation systems, procedures, work instructions, and knowledge bases for satellite testbeds and electrical ground support equipment. Write and maintain assembly, checkout, and maintenance procedures; document system configurations; coordinate maintenance communications; train technicians; and improve buildability based on shop-floor feedback. The role requires hands-on hardware work, electrical or embedded software fluency, technical writing, cross-functional coordination, and onsite presence five days per week.

Lead end-to-end planning and execution for propulsion system development, manufacturing, testing, procurement, and production. Own program roadmaps and schedules, coordinate engineering and hardware teams, translate mission requirements into test priorities, manage customer communications, and guide product and upgrade decisions. The role also integrates propulsion activities with mechanical, electrical, and manufacturing functions while balancing timelines, supply chains, and organizational priorities.

Leads design, integration, debugging, and daily operation of hardware-in-the-loop testbeds and electrical ground support equipment for satellite missions. Translates flight hardware designs into test infrastructure, develops architecture and documentation, uses RF and standard test equipment, and collaborates across electrical, software, systems, supply chain, production, and facilities teams. The role also mentors junior personnel and supports scalable testbed development.

Leads the Production Test Engineering organization for spacecraft manufacturing, overseeing spacecraft and environmental testing, payload integration, test strategy, infrastructure, and production scaling. Manages test engineers, develops procedures and acceptance criteria, establishes testbeds and EGSE requirements, improves throughput and repeatability, and collaborates with systems, manufacturing, flight software, quality, mission engineering, and customers.

Supports spacecraft subsystem and satellite-level testing, including test procedure development, test station improvements, equipment automation, functional and environmental testing, troubleshooting, data analysis, and reporting. Assists with spacecraft hardware and ground support equipment integration in cleanroom and laboratory environments while collaborating with engineers and technicians.

Lead end-to-end systems engineering for complex RF space missions, from mission formulation and architecture trades through spacecraft development, integration, launch, and on-orbit operations. Own technical requirements, interfaces, system models, budgets, verification, risk management, design reviews, and customer engagement.
