About The Position

Ready to make connectivity from space universally accessible, secure and actionable? Then you’ve come to the right place! E-Space is bridging Earth and space to enable hyper-scaled deployments of Internet of Things (IoT) solutions and services. We are building a highly-advanced low Earth orbit (LEO) space system that will fundamentally change the design, economics, manufacturing and service delivery associated with traditional satellite and terrestrial IoT systems. We’re intentional, we’re unapologetically curious and we’re 100% committed to innovate space-based communications and deliver actionable intelligence that will expand global economies, protect space and our planet and enhance our overall quality of life. Join us to design and deploy next-generation, satellite-based radar that delivers persistent, all-weather, day-night sensing at global scale. You’ll build end-to-end capabilities—from waveform design, on-board processing, classification and calibration—for systems on LEO platforms. Working across RF hardware, phased arrays, and advanced DSP, you’ll turn raw echoes into decision-ready products. If you thrive at the intersection of electromagnetics, signal processing, and systems engineering—and want your code and designs to fly—this role is for you.

Requirements

Bachelor's degree in engineering or a related technical field and 10+ years of complex defense-system engineering.
Experience integrating radar, sensor, command-and-control, or mission-processing systems into operational environments.

Passion, deep knowledge and direct experience on LEO satellite component development, design and in-orbit activities.

Responsibilities

Lead technical engagement with Government site, mission, operations, maintenance, and infrastructure stakeholders.
Develop and maintain legacy-interface inventories, site-assumption logs, mission threads, constraints, and verification needs.
Trace the solution to all three core missions and identify gaps before SRR.
Coordinate architecture, requirements, MBSE, RF, software, cyber, test, and site-integration decisions.
Own closure plans for legacy-site and mission-integration risks and present evidence at technical reviews.
