Join to apply for the Mission Operations Engineer (Mid) role at Apex - Spacecraft Manufacturing

Spacecraft represent the most pressing unmet need across the entire aerospace industry. As more launch vehicles come online and the cost to orbit decreases, more companies launching payloads to space continue to emerge.

For the first time in history, this influx of payload companies combined with reduced launch costs has resulted in a massive increase in need for commercial spacecraft platforms, known as satellite buses. These buses hold the payloads of our customers and are flown on launch vehicles.

Apex manufactures these satellite buses at scale using a combination of software, vertical integration, and hardware that is designed for manufacturing. Our spacecraft enable the future of society : ranging from earth observation to communications and more.

We'd love for you to join us on our mission of providing humankind access to the galaxy beyond our planet.

About The Role

We are seeking a highly skilled and motivated Mission Operations Engineer to join our team. The ideal candidate will be responsible for the operation and management of our spacecraft, ensuring the success of various space missions. This role requires a deep understanding of spacecraft systems, mission planning, and real-time problem-solving abilities.

Responsibilities

Mission Planning and Execution :

  • Develop and execute detailed mission plans for small spacecraft operations.
  • Coordinate with cross-functional teams to ensure mission objectives are met.

  • Propose and implement process improvements to enhance mission efficiency and reliability.
  • Participate in post-mission debriefs and contribute to lessons learned.
