Join the Redwire team in developing and fielding end-to-end innovative mission critical space system solutions for next generation space architecture. At Redwire, you will work closely with customers from concept development through mission operations to ensure mission success.

Function

As a Satellite Lead Systems Engineer you would take the technical lead of the project’s system/subsystem technical aspects over the entire lifecycle. It starts by understanding the customer technical requirements, translating them into design and development requirements, and ensuring a proper requirement follow-up and traceability. You would have to steer and follow-up on the design/development team from conceptual design to detailed implementation.


Other required tasks would be checking for the overall technical coherence, supporting the project team during technical reviews, and coordinating and participating in system/subsystem level functional and performance test campaigns. Finally, you would be the overall technical lead of the project in close liaison with the Project Manager.

Profile
  • Master’s degree, preferably in space studies, engineering, electromechanics, mechatronics or equivalent.
  • Working experience (min 10 years) in satellite systems engineering is an absolute pre-requisite, as well as (min 5 years) in the role of Technical Lead.
  • Fluency in English.
  • Ability to clearly define approaches and objectives.
  • Good communication skills at all levels.
  • Enthusiastic result-oriented team player.
Offer
  • You’ll not only get to work in a well-known space company offering flexibility, work-life balance, and an open and friendly working environment, but you will also become one of the privileged engineers that can say some of the hardware they helped built is actually orbiting Earth!
  • Possibility to grow towards a senior/principal engineering role (Technical expertise) or to a Team Lead role (Technical Management).
  • Permanent and full time contract.
