Develops engineering strategies, technology roadmaps, processes, and tools; leads technical reviews and proposal assessments; resolves complex issues; and mentors engineering teams supporting government and commercial space programs.

Develops and verifies satellite ground systems for Boeing’s MILSATCOM program. Responsibilities include requirements analysis and decomposition, systems architecture, interface design, integration and testing, verification, demonstrations, and test documentation. The role supports C2 software development in an agile environment, requirements and risk management, system-of-systems analysis, and customer delivery. This is a fully onsite position requiring an active U.S. Secret clearance and U.S. person status.

Develops, automates, validates, and maintains test procedures and scripts for satellite system and subsystem testing. Supports test setup, execution, data collection, analysis, troubleshooting, anomaly resolution, documentation, and configuration management. Collaborates with systems engineering, special test equipment teams, unit representatives, and program management. Requires experience with electrical test equipment, C#, C++, Python, and space-based electrical, RF, or digital applications.

Lead or Senior Ground Systems Engineer responsible for designing, integrating, verifying, and testing satellite ground systems. Duties include requirements analysis, interface design, system architecture optimization, test plan/procedure development and execution, system integration and verification, and lifecycle support while following Boeing processes and participating in scaled agile teams.

Develops RF and electrophysics architectures, requirements, gain-loss budgets, models, simulations, and test procedures for aerospace systems. Performs trade studies and validates RF performance through testing across environmental, lifecycle, and component variations. Supports system and subsystem engineers, integrates components into higher-level platforms, and provides lifecycle product support under general direction. The role requires onsite work in El Segundo, California, U.S. person status, and the ability to obtain a Top Secret/SCI clearance.

Designs and manages spacecraft command and data handling architectures, avionics, and electrical interfaces. Responsibilities include requirements flowdown, verification, netlist management, data-budget and signal-integrity analysis, fault-management validation, clock and interface analysis, vendor trade studies, and technical support through integration, testing, and customer reviews. The engineer collaborates with flight software, harness, and ground-support teams while managing technical, cost, schedule, and risk communications.

Designs and develops RF, digital, and optical satellite communication systems. Responsibilities include creating and verifying fixed-point digital signal-processing architectures, defining requirements and interfaces, developing link budgets, analyzing models, conducting trade studies, prototyping communication testbeds, supporting integration and simulations, and assisting with ASIC/FPGA design verification, procurement, reviews, and unit sell-offs.

Entry-level systems engineer supporting spacecraft command and data handling networks for autonomous navigation satellite programs. Responsibilities include requirements definition and flowdown, subsystem design, interface development, trade studies, system performance analysis, integration, verification and validation, technical issue resolution, and mission assurance. The role collaborates across software, hardware, cybersecurity, communications security, and spacecraft testing disciplines, and requires eligibility for a U.S. Secret clearance.
