Sr. Mission Integration Engineer, Mission and Ground Systems - Top Secret Clearance

As a member of our Mission Management team, you will help tackle new technical problems from initial requirements verification through rapid prototyping, integrated test, and operational deployment.   

You’d work within a team of other Mission Integration Engineers and Mission Managers, on the same program and across related efforts, to ensure total alignment of your work. You would also work closely with disciplines across SpaceX such as software, information technology, and payload integration to ensure safe and successful mission completion.  

You’ll contribute to the performance and execution of programs within the special programs portfolio while specifically focusing on the mission specific systems that drive, manage, and provide user insight into those programs. Based on customer requirements and SpaceX’s system capabilities, you’ll develop system specifications, interface control documentation, and infrastructure plans. This work will cover a number of technical disciplines including space system command and control, operational planning, data processing, compute and networking infrastructure, integrated mission planning, payload integration, and the secure implementation and execution of each of these discipline areas. Our ideal candidate is a self-starter and is hungry to do work that matters.
