Senior Systems Engineer leading engineering execution across multiple satellite programs at Kepler Communications. Contributing to critical subsystems, system-level work packages, and technical deliverables.
Responsibilities
Support system-level engineering for spacecraft, payloads, mission operations, and ground segment interfaces under the guidance of senior systems engineers
Contribute to requirements development, flow-down, traceability, interface control, verification planning, and evidence tracking for assigned systems or work packages
Support payload integration by helping define interfaces, operational constraints, data flows, calibration needs, verification approach, and system-level impacts
Perform assigned mission and system analyses, including coverage, access, link, payload performance, operational constraints, and trade study support
Develop and maintain technical budgets and analysis products, including power, mass, link, reliability, availability, payload accommodation, and mission performance summaries
Coordinate with subsystem teams across payload, RF, avionics, software, mechanical, thermal, ADCS/GNC, ground systems, and mission operations to support integration and resolve interface questions
Maintain key engineering documentation, including requirements, ICDs, VCDs, technical budgets, analysis reports, CONOPS inputs, review packages, and decision records
Support verification, integration, test, commissioning, and operational readiness activities by preparing technical inputs, tracking evidence, and supporting closure of assigned requirements
Support troubleshooting, anomaly investigation, and root cause analysis using test results, telemetry, data products, and interface performance information
Participate in technical discussions with internal teams, suppliers, customers, and external stakeholders, with support from senior engineers as required
Contribute to proposals, feasibility studies, early mission concepts, and new business initiatives by preparing analysis inputs, assumptions, and supporting documentation
Apply systems engineering best practices with increasing autonomy and use analysis tools, scripting, automation, and AI-enabled tools to improve engineering efficiency.
