Senior Spacecraft Systems Engineer
Lead spacecraft systems engineering across the full satellite lifecycle from concept through operations, owning requirements, system budgets, verification plans, and cross-functional technical leadership. Requires 8+ years spacecraft systems experience and a bachelor's in aerospace, electrical, or systems engineering.
Key Responsibilities
- Provide technical leadership on projects and programs throughout the entire spacecraft lifecycle
- Derivation and maintenance of system requirements to ensure mission success
- Working with internal and external stakeholders to define mission CONOPS
- Ownership of system budgets, such as mass, power, delta-V, data, and link budgets
- Define verification and validation plans for system and subsystem activities (test, demonstration, analysis, inspection)
- Collaboration with the multi-disciplinary experts
- Tracking of system compliance and overall performance to the desired mission needs
- Lead teams through technical milestones such as MCR, SRR, PDR, CDR, TRR, and PSR
- Author Interface Control Documents (ICD)'s and other documentation necessary for the systems engineering process
- Interact directly with customers and/or suppliers to ensure mission success
