About The Position

As an Operations Systems Engineer supporting the Mission Assurance team, you will serve as the independent interface between our internal operations team and program customers. This role is strategic and cross-functional, designed to revolutionize how we operate our on-orbit vehicles. You will independently approach on-orbit activities seeking to preemptively identify and solve challenging engineering problems and find the solutions that lead to mission success by evaluating program designs within the context of risk and opportunity. Your mission is to systematically identify, define, and integrate mission assurance principles across the entire satellite lifecycle to drive significant increases in efficiency, quality, and mission success. Mission Operations requires composure in high-pressure situations, in-depth knowledge of both the space vehicles and ground segment, and an ability to respond to anomalous scenarios in real-time. You will be directly responsible for Millennium’s critical assets. This position's internal job code is Systems Engineer. Our team is currently hiring for a Level 3 and 4.
