Satellite Vehicle Integration and Launch Campaign Senior Engineer

Join our missionAt Millennium Space Systems (a Boeing company), you won’t just build satellites—you’ll accelerate the future of national security space. We design and deliver agile small spacecraft that perform when it counts, from missile warning to Earth observation. If you’re driven to improve, collaborate, and innovate, this is your launch pad.Your impactAs the senior engineer leading Assembly, Test & Launch Operations (ATLO), you will convert designs into flight-ready, constellation-scale spacecraft. You’ll orchestrate integration flows, write and approve procedures, lead system-level and environmental testing, and take spacecraft through launch integration—while raising the bar on quality, speed, and safety.How you’ll succeedLead end-to-end builds: Own planning and execution from assembly through launch, maintaining technical excellence and delivery targets. Design for manufacturability: Review drawings/schematics early, feed improvements into proposals and design cycles, and optimize for large-scale constellations. Decisive troubleshooting: Partner with technicians, inspectors, and engineers in the cleanroom; resolve non-conformances and enact corrective actions with clear go/no-go calls. System mastery: Integrate, test, and debug development platforms to craft high-quality test and assembly procedures and deepen system knowledge. Authority and ownership: Serve as signature authority on procedures, process plans, and new program initiatives. Test and launch leadership: Run EMI/C, dynamics, and TVAC campaigns; execute launch integration while balancing overarching plans, staffing, and schedules. Continuous improvement: Drive throughput gains, reduce build hours and defects, and streamline complex processes using data-driven methods. Metrics that matter: Apply statistical and analytical tools to monitor team and product execution performance.Role family/internal code: Systems Engineer. Openings at Levels 3 and 4.Culture and scheduleWe’re a hands-on, high-accountability team that balances precision with speed.
