From ground stations and network architecture to mission readiness and real-time support, you’ll sit at the intersection of engineering excellence and operational delivery. Expect to move fast, solve hard problems, and make decisions that directly impact missions. • Work on systems that directly support real missions to space • Lead a team with meaningful ownership and autonomy • Be part of a company that moves fast and builds what others only design • Tackle complex, high-impact engineering challenges every day If you’re ready to lead from the front and build the RF backbone of space missions...
