Job Summary:

Tomorrow.io is the world's leading Resilience Platform, combining space technology and advanced AI for unmatched weather forecasting. They are seeking a Satellite Systems Engineer to support the development of RF-based sensing systems and contribute to the design and implementation of their next-generation weather satellite constellation.

Responsibilities:

• Support the development of Tomorrow.io payloads and satellites from initial concept through on-orbit operations to meet technical and schedule requirements.

• Collaborate extensively across a multidisciplinary engineering and program management team.

• Work across multiple technical programs, implementing standard Systems Engineering practices, consolidating efforts into a reduced number of technical architectures

• Be a core contributor within a team of highly capable engineers and subcontractors to develop a constellation of satellites

• Support spacecraft architecture definition, design trades, and specification creation

• Develop and maintain spacecraft systems engineering artifacts including technical budgets, detailed analyses, interface documentation, etc.

• Support verification and validation planning and execution throughout various test campaigns, including working with hardware testbeds to develop and execute functional testing for requirements verification.

• Support the delivery and launch of satellites through mission operations, including on-orbit analysis and other technical contributions throughout the satellite operational lifetime up through on-orbit operations

• Contribute to the company's engineering culture by implementing best engineering practices and helping to improve on existing processes and procedures.

• Actively engage with both internal and external customers and be a technical representative of the company

Qualifications:

Required:

• B.S. in Electrical, Mechanical, or Aerospace Engineering or equivalent field with 3+ years minimum relevant experience, which must include specific contributions to spacecraft development, test, and/or operations.

• Experience working with complex systems involving multi-disciplinary technical teams and designs for space-based, airborne, and/or unmanned platform applications.

• A thorough understanding of spacecraft subsystems and their associated components, with detailed design experience desired in one of avionics, power, propulsion, RF, thermal, mechanical, or ADCS/GNC.

• A strong systems perspective. 'Perspective' here is understanding the relationship between subsystems, requirements, ICDs, etc, in addition to non-technical factors such as cost and schedule.

• A thorough understanding of the space environment, including orbital mechanics, rigid body dynamics, thermal environment & design methods, and/or radiation environment and design methods.

• Be able to work in an agile environment with changing priorities focused on executing against company goals.

• Experience with complex payloads and their associated interfaces to the spacecraft bus.

• Experience with development of technical budgets for vehicle performance.

• Experience with requirements/verification process.

• Experience with modeling and simulation for spacecraft, including tools such as STK and Matlab/Python.

• Experience with spacecraft testing from components-level through AI&T.

• Experience with designing for Space/Radiation environments.

• Experience providing on-orbit anomaly support, including conducting investigations and root cause analysis.

Company:

Tomorrow.io is a weather intelligence platform that provides real-time weather forecasts. Founded in 2016, the company is headquartered in Boston, Massachusetts, USA, with a team of 201-500 employees. The company is currently Late Stage.
