We are currently seeking a Senior Aerospace Systems Engineer for our Denver, CO location. The successful candidate will be responsible for various multi-disciplinary engineering tasks and task/project management related to spacecraft, space mission design, and software development. To support a growing office, the position will require responsibilities that engage a very wide breadth of activities across subject matter. The ability to multi-task between multiple, unrelated tasks/projects is as desirable as the engineering work. Given the wide range of potential analysis activities, breadth of experience and a proven aptitude and desire to learn new subjects is given preference to depth in any particular area. Candidates are required to have excellent communication skills.
Requirements:
- Bachelor’s Degree in Aerospace, Mechanical, or Nuclear Engineering. Advanced degrees are a plus.
- Minimum 5 years of applicable work-related experience, 10+ years desired. Advanced degrees may count as 2 years of experience
- Experience in task/project management, leading small teams and mentoring junior engineers
- Strong systems engineering background. Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) experience is a plus
- Knowledge of various spacecraft subsystems, e.g., structures, thermal, GN&C, power, avionics, propulsion, etc.
- Experience with software development required. MATLAB and Python experience desired
- Software architecture development desired, including experience with object-oriented development
- Ability to interface successfully with customers
- Excellent written and oral communication skills
- Ability to quickly adapt to dynamic work requirements and learn new disciplines
- Knowledge of contemporary civil, i.e., NASA, mission concepts is a plus
- Knowledge or experience with nuclear systems, e.g., radiation analysis, is a plus, but not required
