Senior Systems / Electronics Engineer

Overview In this role you will serve as the technical bridge between imaging payloads and the spacecraft bus, optimizing cross-system interfaces. You’ll influence system trades, assess design options, and guide integration for next‑gen space constellations. You’ll work with cross‑functional teams to ensure performance, reliability, and mission success in demanding space environments. Join a mission‑driven culture that values collaboration, rapid yet rigorous engineering, and meaningful impact.
