Vice President, Satellite Systems & Engineering

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.

As the VP, Satellite Systems & Engineering, you will be the systems engineering lead and Responsible Engineer (RE) for a LEO satellite constellation. This will involve understanding every aspect of the system and leading all hardware and software design and integrations.

 

Accountable for technical leadership, problem resolution and engineering processes associated with the development, integration and test of spacecraft hardware and software

Responsible for the successful design, build and launch programs for a specific constellation 

Support engineering team readiness and execution during test phases and lead anomaly resolution teams

 

Must be willing to work extended hours and weekends as needed

Must be willing to travel on short trips as needed

What you will do:

• Establish and maintain a technical project plan to design, develop, test and deliver the system and system components in accordance with overall program cost, schedule and technical performance targets
• Lead the technical team in solving hardware/software interface problems, define input/output parameters and ensure integration of the entire system or subsystem
• Manage the following departments and sub-systems: Space Systems (Bus, Environmental); Systems Engineering (Satellite and Comms integration); Payload & Satellite Comms Systems (Comms & RF, Core & Transport, Traffic Engineering, Support Systems, Testing and Q&A); and Mission Operations (Program Management, Launch)

What you bring to this role:

• Bachelor's degree / Master's degree / PhD in Electrical Engineering or related field
• Personally led the design, development and launch of a LEO constellation (required)
• Personally designed and retained deep knowledge of satellite subsystems including structures, solar panels, power systems and GNC
• Skilled at actively managing trades from/between each subsystem group  
• Extensive experience with Satellite Systems and missions
• Deep understanding of the principles of spacecraft design, manufacture, assembly, integration, test and operation 

Bonus points:

• Expertise in communications systems theory and analysis including link budgets, signal propagation, phase noise, EVM and non-linear effects
• Deep experience in communications systems, including 3GPP or other systems; have led software development teams in this domain
