The posting

As a Mission Lead Systems Engineer, you will lead the charge on space vehicle missions, driving technical execution and championing the disruption that comes with our programs. You’ll have the autonomy to shape entire missions, the support to grow your expertise, and the opportunity to make a real difference in the future of space operations. This role will be fully on-site in the Denver area at our Greenwood Village, CO office.    Responsibilities

Lead and Drive: Direct systems engineering activities across the full spacecraft lifecycle, from concept development and system architecture through integration, verification, and mission execution to ensure rapid deployment and mission success. Champion Disruption: Challenge legacy approaches by applying innovative systems‑engineering methods, accelerating technical progress through efficient requirements decomposition, interface management, and system‑level decision making. Amplify Impact: Operate within small, highly agile engineering teams where your system‑level leadership influences spacecraft design, subsystem integration, and mission outcomes. Own Outcomes: Develop, derive, allocate, trace, and verify mission and system‑level requirements. Maintain technical baselines, V&V plans, and configuration control for assigned missions. Forge Partnerships: Serve as a primary technical interface with customers, payload partners, subsystem owners, ground segment teams, and external mission stakeholders to ensure alignment across the system architecture. Inspire Teams: Motivate interdisciplinary engineering groups to deliver system‑level solutions, resolve blockers, and maintain mission cadence through proactive technical leadership. Solve Problems: Lead technical investigations, perform trade studies, manage risks, and make rapid system‑level decisions that ensure spacecraft performance and mission reliability. Be Adaptable: Perform other duties as assigned to support programs and the Company.

Required Qualifications

Education: BS in Systems Engineering or related technical field. Experience: 8–12 years as a systems engineer or in a broad technical leadership role (chief systems engineer, product lead, team lead). Mindset: Self-starter, autonomous executor, and willing to stretch beyond current knowledge areas. Technical Mastery: Deep understanding of the SE ‘V’, program execution, and space vehicle design/test. Communication: Strong verbal, written, and presentation skills; adept at customer interfacing. Collaboration: Proven ability to engage and motivate multidisciplinary teams, while working at least 4 days in office. Clearance: Active Secret (or higher) clearance required

Preferred Qualifications

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
