Spire
What You'll Do:
As a Senior Sales Engineer focused on our Space Services offering, you will join a growing team responsible for providing unique space-based solutions to the commercial market. You will engage directly with the Spire Account Executives and customer base to understand operational requirements, qualify opportunities, and design space-driven solutions. The role of Senior Sales Engineer requires a deep understanding of challenges of building, launching and operating small satellites. With an emphasis on our Space Services offering, you will build intimate knowledge of the Spire satellite subsystems, payload capabilities, and system interfaces critical to customers seeking to deploy systems onto our network. Successful candidates will have a broad and deep technical experience designing space systems along with strong communications skills and the ability to thrive in a customer focused environment. Work as a senior expert within a team to support sales discussions with Space Services customers, assess requirements and design the best possible solutions. Serve as the primary technical POC for the Space Services customer throughout the sales cycle. Lead the preparation and delivery of technical presentations and reports explaining Spire’s products and services to prospective customers. Collaborate closely with cross-functional teams and subject matter experts within the organization to assess feasibility of customer-driven solutions, refine scope and technical details of complex space mission programs, and generally represent the voice and requirements of the customer within the organization throughout the sales cycle. Serve as a primary liaison between the sales and internal engineering teams and provide routine product updates and training to the sales staff and other sales engineers. Lead the development of technical proposals and generating or sourcing technical content specific to the customer’s application or problem set in a timely manner to ensure customer deadlines and sales objectives are met. Work closely with the sales team to identify gaps in current capabilities to drive the technology roadmap and enhance the product offering. Support initial Space Services program execution through the System Requirements Review, providing systems engineering support to document customer requirements and ensure a seamless transition from sales to execution. Who You Are: You are a seasoned technical professional with experience in customer-facing roles, bringing expertise in satellite mission design, development, and testing. With a strong engineering background in aerospace, mechanical, electrical, or systems disciplines—or equivalent technical experience—you excel at understanding complex customer requirements and delivering innovative solutions. Bachelor’s degree in relevant Engineering (e.g. Aerospace, Mechanical, Electrical, Systems), Computer Science, Physics, or equivalent combination of technical and work experience. Experience in satellite mission design, development, and testing with a clear understanding of major mission design trades and scope drivers. Knowledge of satellite design and orbital simulation software (e.g., AGI STK). Familiarity with satellite-based remote sensing and Earth observations techniques. Familiarity with the radio frequency (RF) spectrum, specifically related to RF payload receivers. Experience writing technical reports and proposals. Experience presenting technical content to senior level management. Experience in a customer-facing technical role. Strong interpersonal skills for building relationships with clients and effectively communicating with other members of cross-functional teams. Spire operates a hybrid work model, and this position will require you to work a minimum of three days per week in the office. Access to US export-controlled software and/or technology may be required for this role. The anticipated base salary range for this position is $130,000 USD - $170,000 USD.
