Description
As a Senior Mission Engineer, you will serve as one of the technical and programmatic leaders responsible for delivering successful lunar and deep-space missions. Working within the Mission Management organization, you will integrate engineering, program execution, and mission objectives to ensure the spacecraft is delivered within technical, cost, schedule, and mission performance constraints.
Mission Engineers are responsible for making mission-level technical and programmatic recommendations by coordinating multidisciplinary engineering teams throughout the complete spacecraft lifecycle—from mission concept through launch and mission operations.
Unlike traditional subsystem or systems engineering roles, Mission Engineers maintain a mission-wide perspective and balance competing technical, schedule, cost, and risk considerations to achieve overall mission success.
If you are;
-
Systems thinker who naturally considers mission success above subsystem optimization.
-
Strong technical leadership with the ability to influence without direct authority.
-
Excellent judgment when balancing technical performance, cost, schedule, and mission risk.
-
Ability to make timely, data-driven decisions under uncertainty.
-
Comfortable operating in a fast-paced, multidisciplinary environment with evolving mission priorities.
-
Passion for advancing lunar exploration and enabling successful space missions.
