We are looking for a highly skilled and motivated Space Systems Engineer to join our dynamic aerospace engineering team. As a Space Systems Engineer, you will be responsible for the design, integration, testing, and operation of advanced space systems, including satellites, spacecraft, and supporting ground infrastructure. You will work closely with multidisciplinary teams to ensure that all subsystems function together seamlessly to meet mission objectives.
Your role will involve the full lifecycle of space systems development, from conceptual design and requirements definition to system verification and mission operations. You will be expected to apply systems engineering principles to manage interfaces, ensure traceability, and maintain configuration control throughout the project. This position requires a deep understanding of aerospace engineering, systems integration, and project management.
You will collaborate with software, mechanical, electrical, and propulsion engineers to develop innovative solutions for space missions. You will also interact with clients, government agencies, and other stakeholders to ensure that technical requirements are met and that the system performs reliably in the harsh environment of space.
In addition to technical expertise, strong communication and organizational skills are essential, as you will be responsible for preparing technical documentation, participating in design reviews, and supporting proposal development. A successful candidate will be detail-oriented, analytical, and capable of working in a fast-paced, collaborative environment.
This is an exciting opportunity to contribute to cutting-edge space missions and to be part of a team that is shaping the future of space exploration and satellite technology.
