The role requires aerospace and technical recruiting knowledge, strong stakeholder partnership, and U.S. Persons status for access to export-controlled data.

Design, develop, integrate, and test spacecraft payload deployment and articulation mechanisms, including hinges, latches, actuators, and release mechanisms. Own hardware from concept through flight while creating CAD models, drawings, tolerance analyses, and GD&T. Perform mechanical calculations, component selection, integration, troubleshooting, and environmental and life-cycle testing. Collaborate with manufacturing, suppliers, and cross-functional spacecraft teams to resolve hardware and production issues.

Designs, integrates, analyzes, manufactures, and tests payload hardware and supporting spacecraft structures. Responsibilities include creating CAD models and engineering drawings, managing mechanical interfaces, performing structural analysis, selecting materials and manufacturing processes, supporting assembly and environmental testing, troubleshooting hardware issues, and maintaining technical documentation. The role collaborates with payload, structures, thermal, avionics, manufacturing, suppliers, and systems engineering teams throughout the spacecraft development lifecycle.

Lead complex commercial and government satellite missions from spacecraft bus development through delivery. Serve as the senior customer interface, coordinate engineering, manufacturing, supply chain, and mission services teams, manage schedules and dependencies, mitigate risks, resolve high-impact issues, and drive cross-functional decisions. Improve mission management processes, establish execution standards, and mentor Mission Managers while communicating technical and programmatic information to customer and executive stakeholders.

Own electro-optical sensor products across architecture, design, prototyping, qualification, production, and field deployment. Lead verification and validation, test planning, qualification campaigns, test station development, failure investigations, and root-cause analysis. Perform system and component trade studies balancing performance, cost, schedule, and risk. Provide technical production support, manage project budgets and schedules, collaborate across engineering and manufacturing teams, and present technical work at design reviews.

Design, implement, administer, and optimize IT infrastructure across servers, endpoints, networks, cloud platforms, and security controls. Manage Windows, macOS, mobile, and Linux environments; administer Microsoft 365 and collaboration tools; build automation with PowerShell, Bash, and Python; provide Tier 3 support; and lead infrastructure projects, documentation, troubleshooting, and lifecycle management.

The Spacecraft Structures Test Engineer will oversee validation of flight hardware through structural and mechanical testing, collaborating with various teams to ensure spacecraft functionality in real environments.

Design, build, and operate highly available ground and site network infrastructure across commercial and secured environments. Architect Kubernetes platforms, enforce security and compliance controls, develop Terraform-based infrastructure as code, and establish monitoring, logging, alerting, CI/CD, and automation. Serve as a site reliability owner for mission-critical systems, driving uptime and incident response. Partner with security and mission operations teams, define architectural standards, and mentor engineers.

Support new product introduction and scalable manufacturing processes for spacecraft production. Develop production methodologies, process flows, tooling, work instructions, factory workflows, and production readiness plans. Partner with design, supply chain, quality, production, and test teams on DFM/DFA, equipment integration, process validation, documentation, configuration control, and troubleshooting as products transition from development builds to production ramp.
