Job Description

Position Summary

We are seeking a Senior End-to-End Systems Engineering / SEIT Lead to support complete mission and system lifecycle engineering for complex space systems.

The engineer will evaluate the entire system rather than an isolated component, helping ensure that the space segment, payload, ground segment, software, hardware, interfaces, and test environments operate together as an integrated solution.

This role will have significant responsibility for requirements, interfaces, integration planning, verification, and end-to-end system testing.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead end-to-end systems engineering activities across complex space programs
• Translate mission and operational needs into system-level requirements
• Perform requirements decomposition and allocation across system segments
• Lead or support Requirements & Verification activities
• Develop and execute system-level Integration & Test plans
• Develop intersegment test plans spanning space, ground, payload, software, and supporting systems
• Define requirements for system demonstrations and test-bed utilization
• Develop, review, and maintain Interface Control Documents (ICDs)
• Ensure compatibility between space segment and ground segment interfaces
• Support system verification and validation throughout development
• Coordinate SEIT activities across multiple engineering organizations
• Develop verification approaches, test methodologies, and success criteria
• Support Concept of Operations development
• Perform or support mission-level analysis
• Support fault management and autonomous system concepts
• Evaluate system-level risks, dependencies, interfaces, and technical issues
• Drive resolution of integration issues across subsystem and organizational boundaries
• Work with contractors, customers, subsystem owners, and technical leadership
• Support major design and readiness reviews through CDR and subsequent I&T activities
