  • Develop a detailed understanding of spacecraft architecture, mission objectives, operational concepts, and mission success criteria.
  • Understand interactions between spacecraft hardware, avionics, flight software, ground systems, and mission operations.
  • Perform or support spacecraft functional testing, commanding, telemetry monitoring, and mission verification activities during integration, environmental testing, and launch preparation.
  • Evaluate test plans and verification strategies to ensure mission-critical functionality is adequately tested while maintaining spacecraft safety.
  • Support anomaly investigations, risk reviews, readiness reviews, and configuration control activities.
  • Assess operational and schedule impacts of engineering changes, software updates, nonconformances, and program decisions.
  • Ensure spacecraft configuration integrity and mission readiness throughout the spacecraft lifecycle.
  • Drive continuous improvement in mission execution processes, integration flow, and cross-functional coordination.

Required Qualifications
  • Bachelor's degree in Aerospace Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Systems Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related technical discipline.
  • 5+ years of experience supporting spacecraft, launch vehicle, aviation, or other complex aerospace systems.
  • Experience supporting spacecraft integration, functional testing, environmental testing, launch campaigns, mission operations, and systems engineering activities.
  • Working knowledge of spacecraft avionics, command and telemetry systems, and flight software concepts.
  • Experience supporting spacecraft functional testing, mission simulations, or end-to-end vehicle verification activities.
  • Strong understanding of spacecraft systems, integration, test, and launch operations.
  • Experience working across engineering, manufacturing, and program organizations.
  • Excellent organizational, communication, and technical leadership skills.

Preferred Qualifications
  • Experience with spacecraft configuration management, risk management, and change control processes.
  • Experience as an ATLO lead on a spacecraft mission
  • Experience supporting readiness reviews, anomaly investigations, and change control boards.
  • Systems engineering, mission management, or vehicle engineering experience.
  • Experience with production-oriented spacecraft programs.
  • Experience supporting launch site operations and launch campaigns.
  • Comfortable serving as the mission owner and primary coordination focal point for assigned spacecraft builds.
