Responsible for systems engineering of new electronics subsystems for CesiumAstro satellites
Collaborate with technical design leads to bring new spacecraft electronics products to life, integrating requirements across multiple satellites and missions to drive design implementation
Communicate technical needs across the spacecraft team, using data from flight operations to drive requirement evolution in future design cycles
Analyze customer, mission, and system-level requirements and decompose them into clear, verifiable subsystem requirements.
Ensure subsystem requirements maintain end-to-end traceability to customer requirements, system architecture, and Concept of Operations (CONOPS).
Translate customer requirements and operational concepts into technical requirements, system architectures, and engineering solutions.
Lead system architecture development, technical trade studies, and engineering analyses to evaluate design alternatives and optimize system performance.
Collaborate with systems, software, hardware, electrical, mechanical, manufacturing, and integration teams to ensure requirements are complete, feasible, and technically sound.
Define and manage hardware, software, electrical, mechanical, thermal, and data interfaces across system elements.
Support requirements management, configuration management, baseline control, and engineering change activities throughout the development lifecycle.
Identify technical risks, requirement gaps, ambiguities, and integration challenges early in the design process and develop effective mitigation strategies.

Systems Integration, Verification, & Validation

Develop system verification and validation strategies aligned with customer requirements, system architecture, and program objectives.
Define verification approaches including verification methods (test, analysis, demonstration, and inspection), verification levels, acceptance criteria, and required evidence.
Identify verification configurations including hardware setups, software loads, firmware versions, and test environments required to support verification activities.
Lead development and maintenance of verification documentation, including verification cross-reference matrices (VCRM), requirements traceability matrices, and compliance evidence packages.
Partner with Integration & Test teams to plan, coordinate, and execute system integration, qualification, environmental, and functional verification activities.
Evaluate verification results, support technical issue resolution, and drive closure of verification gaps.
Support technical reviews, design certification activities, and program milestones.

Technical Leadership & Program Execution

Serve as the technical lead for assigned systems or major subsystems throughout the development lifecycle.
Lead systems engineering execution for assigned programs, ensuring technical deliverables support program milestones and customer commitments.
Support engineering planning, technical execution, and program readiness activities.
Prioritize systems engineering activities to meet technical objectives, schedule commitments, and program requirements.
Lead multidisciplinary technical discussions and provide engineering guidance across cross-functional teams.
Participate in customer technical interchange meetings, architecture reviews, design reviews, and program milestone reviews.
Provide technical mentorship to engineers on requirements development, traceability, verification planning, and systems engineering practices.
Influence technical decisions through engineering analysis, technical trade studies, risk assessments, and data-driven recommendations.
