Mission Integration Engineer – Satellite Ground Systems
Hybrid | Flexible Locations: Denver, CO, Irvine, CA, Bay area, CA, Seattle, WA or Washington DC.
An early-stage company in the satellite software space is hiring a Mission Integration Engineer to play a key role in enabling complex satellite missions across both government and commercial domains.
You’ll work across mission architecture, ground systems integration, customer onboarding, and launch-readiness- translating technical requirements into operational reality. The company’s platform is built to simplify satellite operations, offering cloud-based command & control tools that support real-time, multi-asset missions.
As part of a small but impactful team, you’ll guide end-to-end integration: from architecture planning and interface definition, to mission simulations and on-console early orbit support.
What you’ll do:
- Lead technical integration for satellite missions across ground, space, and cloud assets
- Act as a mission SME for customer onboarding, from pre-launch to operations
- Develop ICDs, support V&V processes, and contribute to mission readiness documentation
- Coordinate with engineering, product, and mission partners to ensure successful deployment
- Feed insights back into product development based on recurring mission needs
What we’re looking for:
- 5+ years in mission integration or systems engineering within the space domain
- Experience with satellite ground systems, TT&C, and mission operations tools
- Hands-on with scripting (Python/Bash) and cloud deployments (Docker, Kubernetes, AWS)
- Strong cross-functional communication and customer-facing skills
- Active security clearance required
This is a hybrid role with flexibility across four U.S. offices. You’ll get meaningful ownership, a direct impact on active missions, and the chance to shape a growing platform redefining satellite ops.
