Provide technical oversight for mechanical systems architecture, coordinate contributors, lead design reviews and reports, estimate resources, mentor engineers, and support customer proposal activities.

Develops and executes integration plans for space and ground systems supporting Space Force environmental monitoring capabilities. Leads integration across system-of-systems, system, segment, and element levels; researches requirements, technologies, and threats; and applies integration methodologies to remote sensing systems. The role also evaluates technical performance, schedules, costs, risks, contractor data, requirements, interfaces, and verification activities for satellite programs.

Develops and executes integration plans for space and ground systems supporting military remote sensing missions. The role evaluates and validates system performance, mitigates integration risks, manages configuration changes, and supports DoD acquisition, sustainment, logistics planning, and lifecycle documentation. Responsibilities span system-of-systems, system, segment, and element levels while coordinating with engineers, analysts, logisticians, and financial managers.

The Cybersecurity Engineer secures space-sensing systems supporting defense and national security missions. Responsibilities include analyzing system performance, identifying vulnerabilities, supporting Risk Management Framework activities, conducting mission-based cyber risk assessments, developing threat scenarios for cyber test events, evaluating cybersecurity architectures and network diagrams, and integrating security throughout the system lifecycle. The role requires collaboration with engineers, operators, and mission stakeholders.

Build and operate cloud security tooling, automation, and controls across AWS and Azure. Secure IAM, networks, infrastructure-as-code, CI/CD, PKI, certificates, Kubernetes integrations, and secrets management with HashiCorp Vault. Lead security projects from design through implementation, troubleshoot multi-account cloud networks, conduct CSPM and threat detection work, and support incident response. Collaborate with engineering teams on secure architectures and leverage AI to accelerate development. The role is onsite in Denver or Long Beach, may include on-call duties and occasional travel, and requires obtaining and maintaining a security clearance.

Own product and feature launches, positioning, messaging, go-to-market plans, sales enablement, and technical content. Develop collateral, case studies, thought leadership, vertical-specific messaging, and customer proof points for technical and executive audiences. Collaborate with product, engineering, sales, and design teams while tracking launch adoption, share of voice, and pipeline impact.

Provide mid-level regulatory and transactional legal support: prepare and manage legal/regulatory documents, file licensing applications, organize records, assist closings, coordinate with business teams, and use AI and project management tools to streamline workflows.

Leads enterprise software architecture across Red 6’s AR defense products and future platforms. Defines architecture roadmaps, governance, engineering standards, modernization initiatives, and secure cloud, edge, embedded, real-time, AI/ML, simulation, and mission software architectures. Partners with engineering, product, systems, program, and executive teams; guides integrated hardware/software systems, aircraft and avionics integration, digital engineering, risk mitigation, customer engagements, staffing, and mentorship. Ensures scalable, secure, reliable, maintainable, and mission-ready software ecosystems.
