Full-time jobs in Arlington, TX

About the role

This role is the first escalation point for all inter-division technical disputes, the configuration baseline custodian, and the standing CCB member with technical concurrence authority on all production Engineering Change Orders. As a member of our team, you will play a crucial role in driving our success. Our team members have a strong sense of dedication and responsibility; this includes a strong commitment to our mission to create an entirely new suite of global capabilities to improve lives, business efficiencies and build a smarter planet. This means that there will be times when extra hours, including nights and weekends, may be needed to meet critical deadlines and mission goals. In return, we offer a dynamic work environment with opportunities for professional growth and development and the chance to make a meaningful impact in a high-growth industry.

What you'll bring

• Own the System Requirements Document (SRD), all ICDs, and resource budgets (mass, power, pointing, ΔV) across the full program lifecycle
• Lead system-level trade studies spanning spacecraft, ground segment, and user terminal interfaces
• Decompose system requirements to subsystem allocations and manage the trade space across mass, power, pointing, and cost
• Baseline all ICDs including the complete electrical ICD set and maintain configuration control through every program gate
• 15+ years of progressive systems engineering experience in the space industry
• at least one flight project carried from SRR through on-orbit operations
• Constellation program experience — direct accountability for spacecraft-level architecture, cross-vehicle interface management, or system-level verification across a multi-satellite fleet.
• This is a required differentiator, not a preference
• Direct responsibility for requirements traceability and verification closure
• presented and defended technical baselines at formal design reviews (SRR, PDR, CDR, QR) before a standing review board
• Demonstrated background in RF link design, phased array systems, modem/waveform, or OSI Layer 1–2 protocol architecture
• Prior hands-on subsystem leadership (payload, bus, or ground) before transitioning to systems engineering
