Senior Satellite Systems Engineer

Loft Orbital builds a space infrastructure providing a fast & simple path to orbit. Using different flight proven buses, we design, integrate and operate spacecrafts, to fly physical or virtual customers payloads. We handle entire missions from end to end, significantly reducing the lead-time and risk of a traditional space mission.

As a Senior Satellite Systems Engineer at Loft, you will work as lead engineer for one or several satellite missions simultaneously, each one flying a single/multi-payload configuration. You will be the technical reference for these missions, working closely with program manager and all the Loft teams: products development teams, flight and ground software, AIT and operations.

Using flight proven satellite buses and Loft designed payload hub infrastructure, you will lead the development activities of the missions you are in charge of.
