Vice President, Satellite Systems & Engineering

Ready to make connectivity from space universally accessible, secure and actionable? Then you’ve come to the right place!

E-Space is bridging Earth and space to enable hyper-scaled deployments of Internet of Things (IoT) solutions and services. We are building a highly-advanced low Earth orbit (LEO) space system that will fundamentally change the design, economics, manufacturing and service delivery associated with traditional satellite and terrestrial IoT systems.

We’re intentional, we’re unapologetically curious and we’re 100% committed to innovate space-based communications and deliver actionable intelligence that will expand global economies, protect space and our planet and enhance our overall quality of life.

What is the role:

As the VP, Satellite Systems & Engineering, you will be the systems engineering lead and Responsible Engineer (RE) for a LEO satellite constellation. This will involve understanding every aspect of the system and leading all hardware and software design and integrations.   In this role you will be:  • Accountable for technical leadership, problem resolution and engineering processes associated with the development, integration and test of spacecraft hardware and software • Responsible for the successful design, build and launch programs for a specific constellation  • Support engineering team readiness and execution during test phases and lead anomaly resolution teams   Additional Requirements: • Must be willing to work extended hours and weekends as needed • Must be willing to travel on short trips as needed

What you will do:

• Establish and maintain a technical project plan to design, develop, test and deliver the system and system components in accordance with overall program cost, schedule and technical performance targets
• Lead the technical team in solving hardware/software interface problems, define input/output parameters and ensure integration of the entire system or subsystem
• Manage the following departments and sub-systems: Space Systems (Bus, Environmental); Systems Engineering (Satellite and Comms integration); Payload & Satellite Comms Systems (Comms & RF, Core & Transport, Traffic Engineering, Support Systems, Testing and Q&A); and Mission Operations (Program Management, Launch)

What you bring to this role:

• Bachelor's degree / Master's degree / PhD in Electrical Engineering or related field
• Personally led the design, development and launch of a LEO constellation (required)
• Personally designed and retained deep knowledge of satellite subsystems including structures, solar panels, power systems and GNC
• Skilled at actively managing trades from/between each subsystem group
• Extensive experience with satellite systems and missions
• Deep understanding of the principles of spacecraft design, manufacture, assembly, integration, test and operation

Bonus points:

• Expertise in communications systems theory and analysis including link budgets, signal propagation, phase noise, EVM and non-linear effects
• Deep experience in communications systems, including 3GPP or other systems; have led software development teams in this domain
