Ready to make connectivity from space universally accessible, secure and actionable? Then you've come to the right place!
E-Space is bridging Earth and space to enable hyper-scaled deployments of space-powered Internet of Things (IoT) solutions and services. We are fundamentally changing the design, economics, manufacturing, coverage limitations and service deliveryassociated with traditional satellite and terrestrial IoT systems.
By building a highly-advanced low Earth orbit (LEO) space system-with a unique antenna design, highly sustainable spacecraft system and low-cost, small portable end-user devices-we can extend global satellite coverage, capacity and connectivity beyond legacy space services to provide a new kind of IoT platform that lets users sense, track, connect and act on information gathered, anywhere.
We're intentional, we're unapologetically curious and we're 100% committed to saving space, protecting our planet and turning connectivity into actionable intelligence.
What is this role:
As the Satellite Systems Engineering Lead, you will coordinate and perform key engineering activities at the satellite system level including requirements development, architecture development, systems budgets, interconnect, assembly, testing, flight operations, schedule, etc. You must have more that 10 years of experience in space engineering and at least 5 years in a Systems Engineering Leadership role.
This position will work closely with many other engineering disciplines including Systems, Software, Electrical and Mechanical Engineering teams. This role is based in our Saratoga, CA office.
What you will do:
Requirements capture, tracking and compliance at the mission/system/sub-system levels
Develop mission details and con-ops for both space and ground segments
Manage hardware and software interface definitions and harnessing
Own the overall system budget including link, data, power and compliance within established requirements
Track all system/mission risks and mitigations
Plan and coordinate Assembly, Integration and Test (AIT) activities of the spacecraft
Coordinate and prepare satellite launch activities
Support satellite operations including satellite procedure definition and testing
Conduct and prepare overall system FMEA analysis, FDIR definition and verification
What you bring to this role:
Bachelor of Science degree in Engineering
10+ years of experience in space engineering and at least 5 years of Systems Engineering
Deep knowledge of satellite sub-systems, having designed and tested at least one of them
Experience in requirements management and risk management
Experience in satellite environmental testing such as vibration, shock, thermal and TVAC
Familiarity with satellite AIT workflow
Familiarity with satellite launch, early operations and commissioning
Demonstrated success working in a dynamic environment
Bonus points:
Master's degree in engineering
Electrical and software interface management
Experience with Ansys STK
Experience with software programming
Understanding of designing electronic hardware from concept through production
Experience with radiation effects and testing
Project/program management skills
We are redefining how satellites are designed, manufactured and used-so we're looking for candidates with passion, deep knowledge and direct experience on LEO satellite component development, design and in-orbit activities. If that's your experience - then we'll be immediately wow-ed.
$50,000 - $180,000 a year
