Mission Integration Engineer – Satellite Ground Systems

Hybrid | Flexible Locations: Denver, CO or Seattle, WA

An early-stage company in the satellite software space is hiring a Mission Integration Engineer to play a key role in enabling complex satellite missions across both government and commercial domains.

You’ll work across mission architecture, ground systems integration, customer onboarding, and launch-readiness- translating technical requirements into operational reality. The company’s platform is built to simplify satellite operations, offering cloud-based command & control tools that support real-time, multi-asset missions.

As part of a small but impactful team, you’ll guide end-to-end integration: from architecture planning and interface definition, to mission simulations and on-console early orbit support.

What you’ll do:

• Lead technical integration for satellite missions across ground, space, and cloud assets
• Act as a mission SME for customer onboarding, from pre-launch to operations
• Develop ICDs, support V&V processes, and contribute to mission readiness documentation
• Coordinate with engineering, product, and mission partners to ensure successful deployment
• Feed insights back into product development based on recurring mission needs

What we’re looking for:

• 5+ years in mission integration or systems engineering within the space domain
• Experience with satellite ground systems, TT&C, and mission operations tools
• Hands‑on with scripting (Python/Bash) and cloud deployments (Docker, Kubernetes, AWS)
• Strong cross‑functional communication and customer‑facing skills
• Active security clearance required

This is a hybrid role with flexibility across four U.S. offices. You’ll get meaningful ownership, a direct impact on active missions, and the chance to shape a growing platform redefining satellite ops.
