Systems Engineer - Mechanical
About The Position
Lanteris Space LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Intuitive Machines, is seeking a Staff Systems Engineer for its 300 Systems Engineering group. The role applies systems engineering knowledge to mechanical, structural, and configuration subsystems in support of current programs and complex spacecraft designs. Work includes ConOps development, requirements management, decomposition and flowdown, and—later in the program—systems integration, verification, and validation. Mechanical expertise will help ensure the spacecraft design meets mission requirements. The position is based at the company's Palo Alto, California office.
Requirements
