At CesiumAstro, we are developers and pioneers of out-of-the-box communication systems for satellites, UAVs, launch vehicles, and other space and airborne platforms.

In this position, you will help develop space architecture concepts, sub-system design, payload design, requirements development, analysis and decomposition, high-level software and hardware system architecture design, concept of operations (CONOPS) development, and risk assessment. You will coordinate activities across multidiscipline engineering teams, raise issues at the program level, and help drive complex programs to success.

  • Collaborate with the program management team to support project scheduling and coordination.
  • Partner with program management to be the primary outward-facing team with external customers for technical baseline discussions.
  • Act as the liaison between program management, engineering, and manufacturing ensuring effective and organized communications.
  • Participate in the development of system engineering processes for requirements management, flow down, and traceability.
  • Perform risk analysis and develop mitigation strategies.
  • Identify and resolve issues that may impede the progress of engineering teams.
  • Foster a culture of efficiency and continuous improvement within our programs.

  • Proficiency with a requirements management tool such as DOORS or Jama.
  • Ability to define work direction, track milestones, and demonstrate progress on large open-ended projects.
  • Sense of urgency, with the ability to work well under pressure.
  • Excellent problem-solving skills and analytical abilities, with the capability to identify, assess, and resolve complex technical challenges and design issues.
  • The ability to work well with multifunctional teams.
