Experience leading space vehicle systems engineering on government, civil, or commercial satellite programs.
Experience supporting spacecraft integration and test, environmental qualification, launch site operations, or on-orbit anomaly resolution.
Familiarity with Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE), requirements management tools, and configuration management processes.
System-level performance analysis experience (e.g., image analysis, thermal analysis, structural analysis, end-to-end performance, reliability analysis).
Strong understanding of space vehicle design considerations across orbital regimes, including radiation, space charging, thermal, telecom, power, propulsion, disposal, and related topics.
Familiarity with top-level mission analysis and trades such as conops, DITL, coverage maps, and revisit rates for mission formulation.
Knowledge of interconnections between Space Segment, Ground Segment, and Launch Segment.
Active security clearance.
Experience with complex aerospace system development with demonstrated responsibility at the system or vehicle level.
Experience across requirements management, interface control, system integration, verification and validation, and technical baseline management throughout the product lifecycle.
Ability to lead cross-functional engineering teams and communicate technical issues clearly to leadership and customers, including support for execution in a multi-site development environment.
