  • Integration – Coordinate with the flight software architects and development team to ensure software components work seamlessly with other system components.
  • Validation and Verification – Develop integrated use cases to confirm software meets specifications and performs as intended in the system context.
  • Model‑Based Development – Develop models using UML and SysML to represent system and software architecture, enabling early requirements validation and early detection of integration issues.
  • Stakeholder Management – Lead technical meetings and discussions with customers, representing software systems engineering perspectives for trade studies and technical initiatives from concepts through implementation.
Minimum Required Qualifications
  • Must be a U.S. citizen or U.S. permanent resident.
  • Bachelor’s degree in Systems Engineering, Computer Science, Aerospace Engineering, or related field.

  • Familiarity with embedded operating systems (VxWorks, FreeRTOS, cFS).
  • Overall knowledge of spacecraft subsystems (e.g., ADCS, C&DH, power, propulsion, payload).
  • Demonstrated experience with requirements management tools and processes (e.g., JAMA, DOORS).
  • Understanding of V&V methodologies and practices.
  • Proven ability to lead technical discussions with customers and stakeholders.
Preferred Qualifications
  • Master’s degree in a relevant engineering discipline.
  • Experience with Model‑Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) – SysML and UML modeling.
  • Familiarity with spacecraft mission lifecycles.
  • Excellent communication skills across technical and non‑technical audiences.
  • Self‑motivated, fast learner, proven ability to take initiative and drive results.
  • Ability to work effectively in ambiguous environments and openness to using new tools to improve processes and efficiency.
  • Experience with Interface Control Document (ICD) development, trade study analysis, and decision matrices.
  • INCOSE CSEP certification or equivalent.
