Please review the job details below.
At Lantaris, we are building upon our 60 year legacy of innovation, from designing the high gain antennas for NASA’s Voyager 1 and 2 which have raced beyond the heliosphere through interstellar space to establishing ourselves as the industry leader in geostationary satellites delivering services like broadband internet access, satellite radio, and direct-to-home satellite television. We designed the next generation of earth imaging satellites, built the Psyche spacecraft to study asteroids, and are partnering with NASA on our PPE program and supporting the SDA in creating national security assets.
The preferred location for this role is our Palo Alto office in California. The role may be performed remotely within the U.S. To continue as the leader in the space industry, the Lanteris 300 Programs Systems Engineering group is looking for a Senior Systems Engineer who can apply their knowledge and experience in the Mechanical, Structural, and Configuration subsystems to participate in systems engineering activities in support of our current programs. The ideal candidate will apply the systems engineering discipline to complex spacecraft designs including ConOps development, requirements management, requirements decomposition & flow-down. As the program progresses, your focus would transition to integration, verification, and validation activities. Your familiarity with mechanical areas of expertise will enable the spacecraft’s design to meet its mission requirements.
You will be responsible for some of all of the following:
We offer a comprehensive package of benefits including paid time off, health and welfare insurance, and 401(k) to eligible employees. More information on our benefits will be shared with candidates as they move forward in the recruitment process.
