  • This role is well suited for someone who wants to operate at the intersection of satellite missions, software, systems engineering, product strategy, and customer-facing technical leadership.

Responsibilities

  • Lead solution architecture for commercial and government opportunities.
  • Partner with sales and business development teams to shape deal strategy, technical scope, proposal approach, and customer-facing solution narratives.
  • Support technical proposal development, including RFI/RFP responses, compliance matrices, architecture descriptions, technical volumes, BOEs, demos, and customer design reviews.
  • Identify product gaps, integration risks, and architectural tradeoffs early in the opportunity lifecycle and drive alignment across internal teams.
  • Support customer meetings, technical interchange meetings, site visits, conferences, and program reviews as needed.
  • Own the systems engineering process and outcomes for assigned missions, with the level of rigor tailored to the customer and program.
  • Lead or coordinate requirements development, requirements management, interface definition, architecture documentation, verification planning, and acceptance criteria.
  • Own the verification and validation process across mission threads, including commanding, telemetry, automation, mission data flows, operational workflows, and mission-specific analytics.
  • Develop and maintain mission-relevant systems engineering artifacts such as requirements documents, ICDs, CONOPS, verification matrices, test plans, acceptance plans, and architecture models.
  • Support more formal systems engineering approaches for government programs, including traceability, documentation discipline, MBSE, and structured technical reviews.

Requirements

  • Active Top Secret clearance required on day one.
  • Experience working with complex technical systems that require coordination across software, hardware, operations, customer, and program stakeholders.
  • Demonstrated ability to understand a technical system deeply and translate customer or mission needs into executable architecture, requirements, scope, and delivery plans.
  • Familiarity with satellite operations, TT&C concepts, ground system architectures, mission operations workflows, or spacecraft-to-ground interfaces.
  • 8-12+ years of experience for senior or principal-level candidates.
  • Prior experience with government space programs, classified programs, or formal aerospace systems engineering processes.
  • Experience with technical proposal development, RFP/RFI responses, compliance matrices, solution narratives, or scope definition.
  • Experience with requirements management, V&V planning, acceptance testing, ICDs, CONOPS, MBSE, and technical review processes.
  • Familiarity with Cameo, SysML, Git-based engineering workflows, or similar systems engineering and documentation approaches.
  • 5+ years of relevant experience in satellite ground systems, mission integration, systems engineering, technical sales, mission operations, software platform engineering, government aerospace programs, spacecraft systems, or a related field.
  • Experience supporting customer-facing technical work such as solution architecture, technical proposals, design reviews, requirements discussions, integration planning, or technical program execution.
  • Strong technical communication skills, including the ability to write clearly, present technical concepts, and create structured documentation.
  • Experience with cloud-based ground systems, modern software platforms, APIs, automation, and satellite operations software.
