Role overview
Space Systems Integration (SSI) is a fast-growing engineering company that provides aerospace solutions to a variety of government and commercial customers. Our employees are forward-thinking, self-directed individuals who are committed to solving our customers’ technical challenges.
SSI is seeking a Space Digital Systems Engineer for a role in Albuquerque, NM.
Digital Systems/Test Engineer Principal Duty
What you’d do
The candidate will support the development of first-of-kind space vehicles and missions. This handpicked candidate must possess technical expertise and experience with developing, designing, building, and integrating space hardware and software. In this position, you will provide System Engineering Technical Assistance (SETA) to our customer.
You will work in a small, highly empowered team where every team member is directly responsible for the success of the program. Engineering responsibilities span technology domains including space rated hardware, software, sensors, and processors in an extremely fast-paced, responsive development environment. This SETA candidate will assist the government PM to create, develop, and improve digital engineering systems and tools, taking a lead role in overseeing the entire process from concept to implementation. Configure and evaluate system architecture and use model-based systems engineering (MBSE) methodologies, modeling languages (such as SysML/UML), and simulation tools to assess and refine designs. Take an active role in leading validation and verification processes and developing testing programs. You must apply advanced principles, theories, and concepts for highly classified systems, while also effectively communicating complex results with management and executive leadership.
