Top Tech Jobs & Startup Jobs

Develop, simulate, prototype, verify and debug GNC flight software for spacecraft using C/C++ and Python. Build dynamics, sensor/actuator models (USF-Sim), run Monte Carlo analyses, maintain CI/CD (GitLab), containerized environments (Docker), and document work in Jira/Confluence while collaborating with multidisciplinary teams.

Build and maintain engineering tools, infrastructure, and practices to improve reliability, traceability, and maintainability of mission-critical software. Automate and standardize workflows, develop internal libraries and data pipelines, package reusable tools, define GitLab/Git and CI/CD best practices, support CI/CD troubleshooting and onboarding, and enable automated documentation and long-term tool maintenance.

Lead the development and verification of spacecraft GNC/AOCS systems, design control laws and algorithms for RPO and docking, define system-level activities (CONOPS, FMECA, FDIR), perform hardware/software architecture trade-offs, support procurement, and mentor junior engineers.

Lead development and operational deployment of flight dynamics software and tools across diverse orbital regimes. Perform mission analysis, conjunction assessment, collision-avoidance planning, rendezvous/docking operations, manoeuvre planning/execution evaluation, real-time operations, anomaly investigation, and documentation. Interface with contractors and multidisciplinary teams, support GNC and spacecraft operations, design ground-segment FD concepts, develop/validate procedures, and participate in 24/7 shifts and on-call rotations.

Lead FP&A analyses and financial modeling to support budgeting, closing, cash-generation initiatives, and strategic projects. Produce reporting packages, drive process improvements, and coordinate with global finance teams and ERP infrastructure to inform executive decision-making.

Plan, execute, evaluate, and improve Assembly, Integration, and Verification (AIV) activities for satellite systems. Perform assembly, integration, functional/environmental testing, GSE operation, launch interface coordination, and launch site operations. Coordinate across engineering, manufacturing, QA, procurement, and external facilities. Create/revise work plans and procedures, resolve technical and schedule issues, and drive manufacturability, testability, safety, and QCD improvements.

Plan and execute electrical and system tests for satellites and components: create test specifications/procedures/reports, perform functional/interface/power/communication/integration tests using test instruments, operate test jigs/equipment, troubleshoot failures, coordinate with subcontractors and subsystem teams, support production logistics and launch/early operation as needed, and provide process and test fixture improvement feedback.

Lead development of computer vision components for mission systems: define requirements, design and implement object-detection algorithms, verify and integrate software on target embedded hardware, manage releases, support system testing and operations, and act as technical lead coordinating schedules and tasks across teams.

Lead design and delivery of complex space missions by coordinating matrixed engineering teams; plan and run project review gates and deliverables; balance quality, cost, schedule, and risk; provide inputs to mission studies and bids; interface with customers, suppliers, and partners; perform other manager-assigned duties.

Design and maintain spacecraft mission and system architecture: derive requirements and CONOPS, perform system modeling and analyses, manage mass/power/data/fuel budgets, create and track verification/validation plans, coordinate with tech/subsystem leads and project manager, support supplier selection, and plan/participate in AIV (assembly, integration, verification) activities and testing.
