At CesiumAstro, we are developers and pioneers of out-of-the-box communication systems for satellites, UAVs, launch vehicles, and other space and airborne platforms. We take pride in our dynamic and cross-functional work environment, which allows us to learn, develop, and engage across our organization. If you are looking for hands-on, interactive, and autonomous work, CesiumAstro is the place for you. We are actively seeking passionate, collaborative, energetic, and forward-thinking individuals to join our team.
We are seeking a highly skilled Space Payload Responsible Engineer (RE) to lead the design, development, integration, test, and flight qualification of advanced spaceborne payloads. The ideal candidate will have hands-on experience with phased array systems, RF receivers, power and control architectures, and spacecraft-level interfaces. In this role, you will serve as the technical authority for the payload, guiding multidisciplinary engineering teams from concept through on-orbit activation.
You will be responsible for technical execution, schedule and risk management, cross-functional coordination, and delivering a fully qualified payload to spacecraft integration. This position requires strong leadership, deep engineering knowledge, and the ability to operate in a fast-paced mission environment.
JOB DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES
Serve as thePayload Responsible Engineer (RE)and primary technical point of contact for the payload throughout the mission lifecycle.
Lead theend-to-end engineering effortfor the payload, including architecture, design, prototyping, integration, test, environmental qualification, and flight readiness.
Coordinate and direct a team ofRF, digital, mechanical, thermal, software, and systems engineersto ensure consistent and timely technical execution.
Develop and reviewpayload control schemes, internal data interfaces, command & telemetry architecture, and firmware/software integration as needed.
Oversee development and performance ofphased array antennasincluding beamforming, calibration, and environmental considerations..
Manage allflight qualification activities, including environmental test planning (thermal vacuum, vibration, shock, EMC), margin assessment, and final acceptance testing.
Generate and maintain payload-level documentation: requirements, ICDs, block diagrams, test plans, verification matrices, risk registers, and design reviews.
Interface with spacecraft systems engineering, mission assurance, manufacturing, vendors, and test facilities.
Driveroot cause analysis, anomaly resolution, and technical risk mitigation throughout development and test campaigns.
Communicate status, technical trades, risks, and design decisions to internal leadership and external customers.
JOB REQUIREMENTS AND MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS
Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Physics, or related technical field. (Master’s or Ph.D. preferred.)
9 years of engineering experiencein space payload development or RF/antenna systems.
Direct experience designing and testingphased array antennasfor space or high-reliability applications.
Hands-on experience withRF receivers, including front-end architectures, downconverters, filtering, and RF system modeling.
Demonstrated understanding ofpayload control systems, digital interfaces, command & data handling, and embedded hardware/software interactions.
Experience withspace power systems, including DC-DC converters, load analysis, protections, and spacecraft power interfaces.Proven experience executing or overseeingflight qualificationand environmental test campaigns (TVAC, vib/shock, EMC, radiation considerations).
Leadership experience, including mentoring or leading multidisciplinary engineering teams.Proficiency with engineering tools such as RF simulation packages (HFSS, CST, ADS, MATLAB), schematic/PCB tools, or systems engineering tools (Doors, Cameo).
Strong knowledge of space systems engineering practices, requirements flowdown, verification/validation, and configuration management.
Excellent communication skills with ability to present complex technical information to diverse audiences.
PREFERRED EXPERIENCE
Experience managing projects for government and commercial customers. Experience withradiation-tolerant design, proton/total-dose analysis, and EEE parts selection.
Experience withhigh-rate manufacturing, rapid development cycles, or NewSpace ecosystems.
Prior role as aResponsible Engineer, Technical Lead, IPT Lead, or Chief Engineeron flight hardware.
Experience withground test setups, RF test equipment, phased array calibration, and antenna range measurement.
Background indigital signal processing, beamforming algorithms, or embedded firmware for payload control.
Experience mentoring less experienced project engineers and design engineers in associated discipline
High energy and a “get it done” attitude
$130,000 - $180,000 a year
