Systems Engineer

Join our team as a Systems Engineer, where you will have sole authority over the spacecraft-level electrical architecture and the electrical ICD framework. You will be responsible for requirements decomposition, allocation to subsystem budgets, verification and validation, integration and test, configuration management, and connecting the digital thread. You should have 15+ years of progressive systems engineering experience in the space industry, with at least one flight project carried from SRR through on-orbit operations.

Responsibilities

• Assurer l'autorité exclusive sur l'architecture électrique au niveau du vaisseau spatial et le cadre ICD électrique.
• Posséder le fil numérique du programme reliant les exigences à la conception, à la vérification, aux dossiers construits et à la télémétrie en orbite.
• Développer et gérer le plan de vérification et de validation, définir et suivre les TPM, gérer la matrice de conformité aux exigences.
• Prior subsystem depth — hands-on subsystem leadership (payload, bus, or ground) before transitioning to systems engineering. This prior depth is the foundation for the technical credibility required to arbitrate disputes across RF, power, structures, software, and semiconductors
• ICD and design review leadership — direct responsibility for requirements traceability and verification closure; presented and defended technical baselines at formal design reviews (SRR, PDR, CDR, QR) before a standing review board

Requirements

• Digital communications background — demonstrated background in RF link design, phased array systems, modem/waveform, or OSI Layer 1–2 protocol architecture
• Team leadership — demonstrated record of building and developing multi-discipline systems engineering teams, including recruiting and retaining Principal Engineers
• 15+ years progressive systems engineering experience in the space industry, with at least one flight project carried from SRR through on-orbit operations
• Constellation program experience — direct accountability for spacecraft-level architecture, cross-vehicle interface management, or system-level verification across a multi-satellite fleet. This is a required differentiator, not a preference
• Candidates must demonstrate the ability to make and defend binding technical decisions under uncertainty — including accepting residual risk with documented rationale — and to hold a technical position under schedule or cost pressure. Experience presenting to and defending technical baselines before external review boards is require
