About the Role

We are seeking a Spacecraft Integration Specialist to lead the mechanical and electrical integration of spacecraft subsystems. This role will put you at the forefront of assembling, testing, and validating spacecraft from the ground up. You’ll be responsible for everything from mechanical assembly to running system-level checkouts and environmental tests, ensuring that every component functions seamlessly together before launch. If you are ready to take ownership of spacecraft through final integration and work closely with diverse teams to ensure mission success, this is the role for you.

Responsibilities

• Lead the integration of spacecraft subsystems, from initial assembly to final flight build.
• Develop assembly procedures, test plans, and integration workflows for flight hardware.
• Troubleshoot and resolve hardware and software issues during integration and testing.
• Maintain proper configuration control and documentation throughout the assembly process.
• Collaborate with test engineers to perform vibration, thermal vacuum, and other environmental tests.
• Oversee spacecraft integration, guiding the vehicle from prototype through to launch readiness.

Ideal Qualifications

• Extensive experience in system-level integration of aerospace hardware, including satellites or launch vehicles.
• Strong ability to read and interpret mechanical drawings, electrical schematics, and wiring diagrams.
• Hands-on experience with both mechanical assembly and electrical testing/validation using tools such as oscilloscopes and digital multimeters (DMMs).
• Ability to manage fast-paced integration schedules and adapt to unforeseen challenges.
• Familiarity with spacecraft environmental testing protocols and standards.

Benefits

• Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage, with 100% of base-policy costs covered.
• Access to HSA, FSA, 401K, and commuter benefits.
• Unlimited paid time off, with a mandatory two-week minimum use per year.
• Daily healthy lunches provided.
• A compensation and benefits plan designed to reward our employees and support their families generously.
