Executes manual and automated tests for full-stack software, documents defects in Jira, collaborates with developers and product teams, and supports Agile sprint activities. Maintains manual and automated test scripts using Playwright while contributing to QA standards and processes. The role is a three-month temporary engagement with potential conversion and is conducted onsite in Centennial, Colorado, or Long Beach, California.

Designs, operates, and optimizes enterprise network infrastructure across on-premises, hybrid cloud, manufacturing, and cloud-connected environments. Responsibilities include routing, switching, segmentation, firewall administration, VPNs, cloud connectivity, troubleshooting, performance monitoring, capacity planning, compliance support, documentation, and on-call escalation. Collaborates with infrastructure, security, DevOps, and cloud engineering teams to maintain reliable, secure, mission-critical networks.

Develop and maintain satellite command-and-control, mission-planning, mission-data processing, and data-analysis software using Elixir. Collaborate on architecture, design, and code reviews while working across engineering disciplines. The role requires functional programming, resilient and fault-tolerant distributed systems, front-end development, live-system debugging, and strong communication. Preferred experience includes Elixir OTP, React, TypeScript, OAuth2, network protocols, databases, and distributed-system monitoring.

Leads the design, analysis, testing, and integration of spacecraft electrical power systems, including solar arrays, batteries, power distribution, converters, protection, and power budgets. Owns architecture trades, modeling, design reviews, radiation and reliability analyses, validation campaigns, EGSE, and environmental testing. Collaborates across engineering teams, develops technical documentation, mentors engineers, and ensures high-reliability power systems meet mission requirements.

Leads systems engineering execution for satellite command-and-control ground systems supporting national defense missions. Owns requirements, verification and validation, system architecture, space-to-ground interfaces, integration, testing, operational readiness, risk mitigation, and sustainment. Coordinates cross-functional teams, mission operations, government stakeholders, and technical review boards while applying MBSE and requirements management processes. The role requires extensive lifecycle leadership of classified aerospace ground systems and eligibility for DoD TS/SCI or TS/SAP clearance.

Develop and maintain physics-based space and missile defense models, engagement and mission simulations, and analysis tools using Python and C++. Integrate simulations into SIL, HIL, and distributed environments; perform verification, validation, Monte Carlo studies, and data correlation. Collaborate with engineering and government stakeholders on requirements, testing, and technical recommendations. The role requires aerospace or related experience, knowledge of orbital mechanics or missile trajectories, and eligibility for Secret or TS/SCI clearance.

Designs, builds, and deploys classified IT infrastructure for U.S. Government programs through TS/SCI and SAP levels. Responsibilities span facility readiness, power and cooling, rack and cabling design, servers, networks, storage, virtualization, cryptographic devices, physical security, testing, troubleshooting, documentation, and RMF/ATO evidence. The role requires extensive hands-on work in SCIFs, SAPFs, data centers, and construction environments, coordination with facilities and contractors, and up to 50% travel.

Leads structural dynamics analysis for spacecraft mechanisms and actuation systems. Develops and validates finite element models; performs modal, vibration, shock, frequency response, and quasi-static analyses; manages disturbance and jitter budgets; supports dynamic testing and FEM correlation; and provides design guidance for spacecraft performance and pointing stability. Collaborates with mechanical, GNC, and systems teams, contributes to reviews and qualification, documents analyses, and mentors junior engineers.

Leads architecture, development, implementation, integration, and verification of real-time DSP systems for space-based RF payloads. Develops algorithms for I/Q processing, beamforming, detection, radar, SIGINT, and signal classification, then implements them on CPUs, FPGAs, GPUs, and embedded platforms. Optimizes systems for throughput, latency, power, and memory; supports hardware integration, testing, commissioning, technical reviews, customer engagements, and cross-functional engineering leadership while mentoring engineers.

Leads and builds True Anomaly’s digital engineering platform and digital thread across PLM, ALM, MBSE, ERP, and manufacturing systems. The role establishes architecture, writes production code, develops integrations and systems of record, and ensures data traceability, auditability, observability, and quality. It also owns roadmap delivery, cross-functional governance, compliance support, and hiring and developing a software engineering team. The position is onsite in Denver or Long Beach and supports ITAR/CUI requirements and national security operations.
