  • Develop and execute systems engineering plans, including risk management, schedule management, and resource allocation
  • Develop test plans, test procedures, assembly drawings, and assembly instructions
  • Provide expert guidance on satellite systems engineering and best practices across the entire design lifecycle (concept, design, development, testing, and operations)
  • Project Management :

  • Lead and manage space mission projects, from initial concept through launch and operational deployment
  • Develop and maintain project schedules, budgets, and resource plans
  • Coordinate and communicate with cross-functional teams, including engineering, manufacturing, quality assurance, vendors, and customers
  • Act as the primary point of contact for stakeholders, ensuring that mission objectives are met and deliverables are completed on schedule
  • Manage suppliers and subcontractors
  • Identify, track, and mitigate project risks to ensure successful mission execution
  • Prepare and present progress reports, technical documentation, and mission status updates to senior leadership and clients
  • What do we look for?

  • 12+ years of experience in satellite systems engineering
  • Bachelor's or Master's degree in Aerospace Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or a related field
  • Strong proficiency of all satellite subsystems (propulsion, power, payload, communications, etc.) and their integration
  • Experienced with full satellite lifecycles, including mission design, AI&T, launch, and on-orbit operations
  • Demonstrated experience in managing complex space mission projects, including schedule and project management
  • Excellent communication skills, both technical and non-technical, with the ability to interface with all levels of engineering teams and external stakeholders
  • Willingness to travel occasionally in the US and internationally
  • Based in the Denver area or willing to relocate
  • US citizen or US permanent resident
  • How to Stand Out :

  • Previous experience in project execution applying ECSS standards
  • System modeling and simulation tools such as Matlab, Simulink and Python
  • Knowledge of cloud-based architectures
  • Knowledge of security architectures and standards applicable to space systems
  • Knowledge of satellite onboard processing and image processing and the potential use of AI algorithms for edge computing
  • What do we offer?

  • Health insurance coverage
  • Matching 401k plan
  • Generous team performance-based bonus
  • Collaboration with EnduroSat offices in Sofia, Berlin, and Toulouse, with occasional international travel
  • Salary range : $150,000 - $210,000 per year. The state of Colorado requires listing salary details. The salary will likely be within this range although it may differ based on experience level or other factors.
