In this position, you will be responsible for designing and delivering the C&DH subsystem for high-volume, cutting-edge communication satellites. You will own the C&DH subsystem block diagram (in alignment with electrical architects), subsystem-level analysis, make-buy trades, trade studies for “buy” items, technical vendor interactions, subsystem Design Verification Testing (DVT), hardware delivery, and on-orbit support.

As a Satellite team member, you will work on a small team to develop satellites and put them in orbit. You will have the opportunity to collaborate with satellite architects and our internal component development team to create a long-term roadmap. You will be a key point of contact for satellite software, mechanical, and AI&T teams. You will provide creative solutions to complex problems to push the boundaries of spacecraft design.
