Job description

Ready to make connectivity from space universally accessible, secure and actionable? Then you've come to the right place!

E-Space is bridging Earth and space to enable hyper-scaled deployments of Internet of Things (IoT) solutions and services. We are building a highly-advanced low Earth orbit (LEO) space system that will fundamentally change the design, economics, manufacturing and service delivery associated with traditional satellite and terrestrial IoT systems.

We're intentional, we're unapologetically curious and we're 100% committed to innovate space-based communications and deliver actionable intelligence that will expand global economies, protect space and our planet and enhance our overall quality of life.

As a Satellite Systems Engineer, you will coordinate and perform key engineering activities at the system level including requirements development, architecture development, systems budgets, interconnect, assembly, testing, flight operations, schedule, etc. You must have more that 10 years of experience in space engineering and at least 5 years in a systems engineering role.

This position works closely with many other engineering disciplines including Systems, Software, Electrical, and Mechanical Engineering teams. This role is based in our Saratoga, CA office.

What you will be doing :

  • Requirements capture, tracking, and compliance at the mission / system / sub-system levels
  • Develop mission details and con-ops for both space and ground segments
  • Manage hardware and software interface definitions and harnessing
  • Own the overall system budget including link, data, power, and compliance within established requirements
  • Track all system / mission risks and mitigations
  • Plan and coordinate Assembly, Integration, and Test (AIT) activities of the spacecraft
  • Coordinate and prepare satellite launch activities
  • Support satellite operations including satellite procedure definition and testing
  • Conduct and prepare overall system FMEA analysis, FDIR definition, and verification

What you'll bring to this role :

  • Bachelor of Science degree in Engineering
  • 10+ years of experience in space engineering and at least 5 years of Systems Engineering
  • Deep knowledge of satellite sub-systems, having designed and tested at least one of them
  • Experience in requirements management and risk management
  • Experience in satellite environmental testing such as vibration, shock, thermal, and TVAC
  • Familiarity with satellite AIT workflow
  • Familiarity with satellite launch, early operations, and commissioning
  • Demonstrated success working in a dynamic environment
  • Bonus points for the following :

  • Master's degree in engineering
  • Electrical and software interface management
  • Experience with Ansys STK
  • Understanding of designing electronic hardware from concept through production
  • Experience with radiation effects and testing
  • Project / program management skills
  • This is a full time, exempt position, based out of our Saratoga office. The target base pay for this position is $100,000 - $180,000 annually. The total compensation packaged will be determined by various factors such as your relevant job-related knowledge, skills, and experience.

    We are redefining how satellites are designed, manufactured and used—so we're looking for candidates with passion, deep knowledge and direct experience on LEO satellite component development, design and in-orbit activities. If that's your experience – then we'll be immediately wow-ed.

    E-Space is not currently able to provide employment sponsorship for candidates who do not hold work authorization for the location of this role.

    Why E-Space is right for you :

    As a member of our team, you will play a crucial role in driving our success. Our team members have a strong sense of dedication and responsibility; this includes a strong commitment to our mission to create an entirely new suite of global capabilities to improve lives, business efficiencies and build a smarter planet. This means that there will be times when extra hours, including nights and weekends, may be needed to meet critical deadlines and mission goals. In return, we offer a dynamic work environment with opportunities for professional growth and development and the chance to make a meaningful impact in a high-growth industry.

    We want you to make the most of your journey at E-Space. That's why we support and invest in the physical, emotional and financial well-being of our team members and their families. Some of what you can expect when working at E-Space :

  • An opportunity to really make a difference
  • Sustainability at our core
  • Fair and honest workplace
  • Innovative thinking is encouraged
  • Competitive salaries
  • Continuous learning and development
