Be among the first 25 applicants 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. Our goal is to deliver timely and actionable data for commercial and defense applications. We are achieving many industry firsts, which requires an ambitious team that embraces challenges, gets hands-on, and works collaboratively. If this sounds like you, EOI Space is seeking a talented Lead Spacecraft Systems Engineer with a strong background in spacecraft development and related engineering fields to ensure alignment with mission objectives. The preferred location for this hybrid role is Seattle, Washington. What you will do: The Lead Spacecraft Systems Engineer oversees the overall development of the spacecraft, with a focus on non-payload subsystems, driving technical development, managing technical challenges, and leading multidisciplinary teams. This role involves technical development from architectural design through spacecraft integration and testing, as well as technical leadership, program management, and mentoring to foster a culture of innovation. You will leverage your technical expertise and leadership skills to drive spacecraft development activities and empower your team to meet ambitious goals by establishing and refining efficient processes. Responsibilities: Lead the development and implementation of EOI’s satellite bus; collaborate with the payload lead for overall spacecraft development. Coordinate with subject matter experts (SMEs) and oversee the development of spacecraft subsystems: structures, mechanisms, thermal control, attitude determination/control, electrical power, communications, propulsion, flight software, and command and data handling. Develop and own system-level technical artifacts such as spacecraft budgets, CONOPS documents, ICDs, and requirements. Lead the requirements verification campaign. Create comprehensive program plans, schedules, and budgets in collaboration with program management; monitor progress to ensure timely and within-budget delivery. Manage resources effectively by working closely with staff, management, and vendors, prioritizing tasks based on program needs. Implement lightweight, effective processes for task management using tools like Jira, Confluence, and PLM. Conduct technical trade studies considering technical, cost, and schedule factors pragmatically. Identify and mitigate risks associated with program execution. Facilitate problem-solving and decision-making through communication and collaboration within the team. Provide direct technical support to subsystem leads to resolve complex challenges. Required Qualifications: B.S. or M.S. in Electrical, Aerospace, Mechanical Engineering, or a related field. 10+ years of engineering or technical project management experience, with at least 3 years focused on spacecraft or satellite applications. Minimum of 3 years in a leadership role managing interdisciplinary technical teams developing complex spacecraft, ideally with earth observation capabilities. Deep expertise in at least one satellite subsystem; demonstrated systems-level understanding across all subsystems. Strong problem-solving skills and ability to handle complex technical challenges. Ability to communicate complex technical concepts clearly to non-technical audiences. Proven experience in spacecraft development, supply chain management, and AI&T. Track record of setting and achieving KPIs. Adaptive leadership style capable of rapid pivots and a proactive approach to a dynamic business environment.
