Senior Systems Engineer – Mission Engineering team, lunar lander and spacecraft development. Location: Englewood, Colorado, United States. Key Responsibilities Take ownership, lead, and coordinate requirements, V&V planning, technical budgets, interfaces, configuration management, system‑level analysis, trade studies, risk management, FDIR, failure, fault, and system reliability management throughout the life cycle of a spacecraft development program. Lead efforts across all disciplines in defining Lander ConOps down to subsystem‑level requirements. Lead and coordinate technical reviews, DFMEAs, and other failure and risk identification & mitigation activities throughout all phases of the life cycle. Lead and collaborate with functional and subsystem teams on systems engineering tasks, trade studies, and opportunities to increase performance. Seek feedback from interdisciplinary teams and experts to ensure program success. Provide technical guidance and direction to system and subsystem engineering teams. Mentor junior systems engineers and guide their technical and career development. Help expand the company’s systems engineering knowledge, providing learning opportunities to engineers from other disciplines.

Required Qualifications Bachelor’s degree in Aerospace, Mechanical, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or equivalent. An equivalent combination of relevant education and/or experience is considered. Minimum of 8 years of spacecraft engineering experience, with 4+ years in spacecraft systems engineering, ideally during several life‑cycle phases and at spacecraft level. Deep understanding of systems engineering principles and their application in a fast‑paced spacecraft development program. Cross‑functional, broad experience with several spacecraft and/or launch vehicle subsystems; including both hardware and software systems. Deep expertise in at least one spacecraft technical area (structures, thermal, mechanical, electrical, avionics, GNC, software, etc.). Familiarity with engineering drawings and configuration management. What Makes You Stand Out! Engineering Master’s degree with emphasis on systems; an equivalent combination of relevant education and/or experience is considered. Experience in defining requirements and verification plans for spacecraft systems. Extensive contributions to the development of a spacecraft during multiple life‑cycle phases. Extensive experience in integrated testing and change management. Experience performing FMECA, reliability analysis, and/or hazard analysis. Experience with common industry standards for spacecraft design, test, and integration (e.g., NASA‑STD‑5001, NASA‑STD‑5012, NASA‑STD‑5017, NASA‑STD‑5020, SMC‑S‑005 & SMC‑S‑016). Experience working for Aerospace/Space Prime or sub‑contractor strongly preferred. Experience in startup environment a plus.
