About The Position

As an Engineering IPT Lead, you will collaboratively manage the schedule, budget, and technical metrics for assigned control accounts. You will drive team execution for a broad cross-section of technical scope for one or more programs. These areas may include (but are not limited to) Bus, Payloads, Mission Engineering, Flight Software, etc. The position will require working with company and program management, multiple engineering teams, production, ATLO (Assembly, Test, and Launch Operations), and our customers to deliver qualified subsystem products on time and on budget. Successful IPT Leads blend deep technical understanding of a diverse cross-functional engineering team with an ability to manage cost/schedule aspects and drive program success. You will work closely with your IPT Lead counterparts managing other areas of the satellite program(s) to ensure solutions meet needs at the program and mission level. This position is for an Engineering IPT Lead within the Flight & Controls (F&C) Engineering team. F&C consists of 5 distinct but related engineering teams: Astrodynamics, Autonomy, Guidance, Navigation, & Controls, Mission Analysis, and Optics. An IPT Lead within F&C can expect to manage scope for all 5 of these engineering teams, as well as potential scope from other areas including Flight Software and Mission Operations. The expectation for someone in this role is to develop high-level familiarity with the technical aspects of these areas in order to facilitate execution of the engineering work and deliver products. This position's internal job code is Project Engineer. Our team is currently hiring for Levels 4-5
