Loft Orbital builds a space infrastructure providing a fast & simple path to orbit. Using different flight proven buses we design integrate and operate spacecrafts to fly physical or virtual customers payloads. We handle entire missions from end to end significantly reducing the lead-time and risk of a traditional space mission.
As a Satellite Systems Engineer at Loft you will work on one or several satellite missions simultaneously each one flying a single/multi-payload configuration. You will be a technical reference for these missions working closely with program manager and all the Loft teams: products development teams flight and ground software AIT and operations.
Using flight proven satellite buses and Loft designed payload hub infrastructure you will lead the development activities of the missions you are in charge of.
About this Role:
Serve as satellite systems engineer for one or more customer missions representing Loft in technical discussions and reviews to accommodate and fly a variety of payloads
Act as the internal payload subject-matter expert interfacing with hardware and software teams to ensure end-to-end integration.
Work with flight operations to develop the mission CONOPS supporting the development of Service Level Agreements with Lofts customers
Assist with program management and product management including interfacing with customers on programmatic and schedule matters
Review test plans and test results and participate in the integration test campaign launch and in-orbit activities
Accommodate customer missions on Lofts rideshare programs contributing to satellite-level budgets and analyses V&V planning CONOPS definition AIT and on-orbit operations.
Must Haves:
You have >2 years demonstrated experience as a spacecraft systems engineer or equivalent experience in at least two different subsystems (ADCS Mechanical Thermal Power On-Board Electronics & Software )
You have strong communication and organizational skills
You challenge norms in aerospace engineering and testing activities and or experienced in fast-paced development environment
You have experience in small satellite assembly integration and test campaigns and/or in spacecraft delivery to orbit
You handle pressure positively and are always ready to put hands-on
Nice to Haves:
Experience with Python and Jupyter notebooks for analysis and simulation
Exposure to different space payload technologies (e.g. RF optical radar hosted compute)
Exposure to in-orbit operations
International experience
Some of Our Awesome Benefits:
Equity we want you to have an active role in our success
Up to 35 days of Paid Time Off (vacations & RTT ) and flexible working hours we want you to be at your best
Health and life insurance we care about your health
Lunch Vouchers because lets be honest we love food! (we even have a slack channel about it #loft-gourmand)
Cross-office travel opportunities between San Francisco Colorado and Toulouse to learn from our differences
Company and team off-sites and many other events to work & celebrate together
Relocation assistance to Toulouse when applicable

Who We Are
Loft: Space Made Simple.
Founded in 2017 Loft provides governments companies and research institutions with a fast reliable and simple way to deploy missions in orbit.
We integrate launch and operate spacecraft offering end-to-end missions as a service across Earth observation IoT connectivity on-orbit AI national security missions and more. Leveraging our existing space infrastructure and an extensive inventory of satellite buses Loft is reducing years-long integration and launch timelines to months. With more than 30 missions flown Lofts flight heritage and proven technologies enable customers to focus on their mission objectives.
With a growing fleet on track to reach 30 satellites by 2027 we are scaling up quickly across our offices in San Francisco CA Golden CO and Toulouse France to meet accelerating demand for space infrastructure.
As an international company your resume will be reviewed by people across our offices so please attach a copy in English.
