About the role

  • About the Job We're seeking an experienced Space Systems Engineer to join our team as we move from prototypes into proliferated systems.
  • You'll bring rigorous first-principles engineering judgement to problems spanning the entire system.
  • Final offer amounts are determined by multiple factors including experience and expertise, and may vary from the amounts listed above.

Responsibilities

  • Array Labs builds advanced radar systems to help humanity understand and respond to changes across the physical world.
  • We're launching a coordinated fleet of radar satellites to create a high-resolution 3D map of the Earth - updated in real time - enabling faster, smarter decision-making for government and commercial organizations.
  • You'll have the opportunity to influence every aspect of the design - from radar payloads to mass-manufactured formation flying radar satellites - delivering cutting-edge solutions for dozens of critical mission sets.
  • We value rapid testing and iteration over protracted analysis and formal verification: you'll own the interface rather than updating the document.
  • Array Labs is launching a constellation of satellites to create the first high-resolution, real-time, three-dimensional model of Earth.
  • If you're excited to build the systems and practices that help a deep-tech company grow from early stage to industry-defining, we'd love to hear from you.

Requirements

  • Experience on console operating spacecraft in LEO
  • Experience with serial manufacturing and/or operation of spacecraft (at LEO constellation or fleet management scale)
  • Familiarity with spacecraft system-level fault and reliability analysis (fishbones, FDIR, fault tolerance, root cause)
  • Familiarity with software development or extensive scripting in python
  • Experience with SAR instruments, or earth imaging sensors
  • Expertise in the development of at least one spacecraft subsystem (e.g., Power, Comms, GN&C, Mechanical, Electrical)
  • Prior vendor management or customer-facing technical interface experience in an aerospace or defense context
  • Working knowledge of link budgets and radar range equations
  • Experience with orbital analysis and mission modeling tools (e.g., STK, FreeFlyer, or equivalent)
  • ITAR Requirements To conform to U.S. Government space technology export regulations, including the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) you must be a U.S. citizen, lawful permanent resident of the U.S., protected individual as defined by 8 U.S.C. 1324b(a)(3), or eligible to obtain the required authorizations from the U.S. Department of State.
