Sierra Space Careers: Dare to Dream
We honor those that are not afraid to dream big dreams, those that
tenaciously chase their dreams even when others say it cannot be done, those
that achieve big dreams and change everything. Those are Dreams Worth Chasing.
At Sierra Space we envision a future where humanity lives and works in
space, on moons, and on distant planets. Our mission isn't restricted to
the few, instead we see a future where all people can choose to live,
work, discover and explore beyond our planet. Our company is building a
platform in space to benefit life on Earth and together we will alter the
course of humanity.
We have a bold mission. We are a bold company. Together, we are an
extraordinary team.
About the RoleAre you ready to unleash your technical creativity? Dream,
Innovate, Inspire and Empower the next generation to transform humanity
through technology and imagination! Electrical engineers at Sierra Space
research, design, develop, test, certify, deploy and improve cutting
edge products and services. These cover a very wide range from advanced
mission payloads and electronic systems through highly integrated aircraft to
orbital and space exploration systems. You'll conceptualize and design new
products and processes throughout the product lifecycle from analog and
digital electronic circuit card assemblies to fully integrated systems.
About You
Our mission is driven by the unwavering passion to push the boundaries of what
is possible. We seek those who Dare to Dream - to envision the extraordinary
and pursue it relentlessly - to join us on this transformational journey.
We're looking for dreamers who align with our values, vision and audacious
goals - while also meeting the minimum qualifications below. The preferred
qualifications are a bonus, not a requirement.
Sierra Space's Defense division focuses on the design, build, and
operations of small satellites in support of commercial services and national
security space applications and offers two work locations: Louisville,
Colorado and Centennial, Colorado.
As a senior engineer with focus on command and data handling components
(C&DH), you will own the design and optimization of avionics solutions
for test beds and spacecraft missions, to include both civilian and national
security space applications. These designs stem from understanding,
analyzing, and evaluating satellite and constellation capabilities,
mission concepts, and system requirements. Your work will ensure we meet
customer requirements by making data-driven decisions in architecting,
planning, building, and testing the design in a testbed prototype and
subsequent delivery of the end item. Along the way, you will build tools and
contribute to analyses of various architectures that include space vehicles,
satellites, sensors, communications, and ground infrastructure;
evolving or creating new approaches based on analysis results. You will also
contribute to evaluating the mission effectiveness of the candidate
approaches, balancing mission objectives against factors such as development
and lifecycle costs. As an IPT lead, you will be expected to perform a
significant amount of the technical engineering work, in addition to
tracking/managing the work of other individual contributors that are
supporting
