Spacecraft Systems Engineer

Who we are:

EOI Space specializes in developing and deploying a network of satellites in Very Low Earth Orbit (VLEO) to provide ultra-high-resolution Earth imagery. We aim to deliver timely and actionable data for commercial and defense applications.

We are on our way to achieving many industry firsts. This demands an ambitious team that revels in leaning into challenges getting hands-on and working together. Does this sound like you EOI Space is looking for a Spacecraft Systems Engineer with strong technical expertise and a demonstrated background in spacecraft or subsystem development to help drive the design integration and testing of EOIs satellites.

What you will do:

The Spacecraft Systems Engineer will support the development and verification of the spacecraft system architecture with particular emphasis on cross-subsystem integration performance. This role involves technical execution across design modeling and simulation integration and test phases working closely with subsystem leads test engineers and program management to ensure cohesive spacecraft development.

Responsibilities:

• Support definition and evolution of the spacecraft system architecture including subsystem interfaces performance budgets and trade studies

• Develop and maintain system-level requirements allocations and verification planning across the satellite lifecycle

• Perform and document system-level analyses (e.g. power thermal link mass data)

• Support coordination between subsystem leads program management and manufacturing teams to ensure technical alignment and system integrity

• Develop and contribute to Interface Control Documents (ICDs) CONOPS and other system-level documentation

• Develop and execute mission analysis and simulation tools such as day-in-the-life simulations

• Assist with system integration and environmental testing activities including test plan creation procedure development and test execution

• Participate in mission assurance and launch integration efforts

• Identify technical risks and contribute to mitigation planning

• Provide hands-on support during integration and troubleshooting of spacecraft hardware and software

Required Qualifications:

• B.S. or M.S. in Electrical Aerospace Mechanical Engineering or a related field

• 5 - 10 years of relevant engineering experience including spacecraft or subsystem development

• Expertise in at least one spacecraft subsystem (e.g. power ADCS thermal propulsion communications) and familiarity with system-level integration

• Experience with modeling and analysis tools such as Python STK or MATLAB

• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with a collaborative approach to technical challenges

• Experience with spacecraft development integration and testing processes

• Ability to communicate complex technical concepts effectively across teams

• Startup or small-team experience is preferred.
