Altadena, California, United States OffWorld Full time

About OffWorld

OffWorld is a pioneering robotics startup dedicated to developing a mobile robotic workforce for heavy industrial jobs on Earth, the Moon, asteroids, and Mars. Founded by an experienced engineering team with decades of experience tackling formidable challenges at NASA, ESA, NOAA, Maxar Technologies, CERN, Reaction Engines, SAFRAN, Surrey Satellites, and Cisco.

We are working on developing and maturing a modular robotic system for extreme environments on Earth. Our robots will go deeper underground and farther than humans can, eliminating the need for humans to work in life-threatening environments in mining, construction, tunneling, and other dangerous industries, and dramatically reducing the environmental footprint and cost of operations in key economies on Earth and beyond.

Our Modular Robotic Architecture

Our designed architecture focuses on maximizing commonality and reusability across components for fast deployment and optimization. Our robotic systems combine sensor information, cutting-edge classical/machine learning algorithms, and a robotics real-time system platform for control, decision making, and execution.

Job Description

We seek a Lead Space Systems Engineer in Altadena, CA. The estimated salary for this position is $120,000 - $150,000 per year, plus stock awards and benefits.

In this role, you will be responsible for performing lead systems engineering functions in the conception, design, and development of spaceborne systems operating in cis-lunar space. You will initially support the development, launch, commissioning, and operations of a CubeSat Program in Low Earth Orbit, with other projects to follow.

You will work with scientists, engineers, project managers, customers, vendors, end-users, and other stakeholders to identify, develop, and translate science goals and requirements into system requirements and specifications. You will also collaborate with scientists and other stakeholders to perform cost-benefit analysis between science goals and program costs.

Your Responsibilities

  • Collaboratively synthesize top-level system design concepts and architectures, perform trade studies, and optimize the designs to meet goals and requirements within budget.
  • Propose, define, and lead Systems Engineering within CubeSat design reviews.

  • Support efforts in technical requirements definition and tracking, system error budgets, and Interface Control Documents (ICDs).
  • Support project management and team in ensuring systems engineering tasks are completed in a timely manner.
  • Develop and document detailed test plans and procedures based on engineering specifications and requirements verification and validation compliance matrices.
  • Conduct and oversee testing efforts and participate in testing hands-on as necessary.
  • Write test reports to document instrument performance.

Requirements

  • At least 5 years of professional experience in space systems engineering, as a Program Lead Systems Engineer.
  • Familiarity with a wide range of latest engineering technologies, including one or more of the following disciplines: software, electrical, and mechatronics.
  • Experience in broad optical-mechanical design, including some experience with spaceflight hardware and Cubesat.
  • Advanced knowledge of instrument alignment methodology and developing alignment fixturing & tooling.
  • Experience in articulating technical problems and formulating alternative solutions to engineering problems.
  • Practical hands-on laboratory experience using and working with optical tools and systems.
  • Advanced knowledge of design and testing for complex new systems that integrate into larger systems.
  • Experience in working as an effective member of a team of scientists and engineers, with an advanced capability to conduct engineering instrumentation design working in an independent manner as necessary.
  • Demonstrated experience in writing scientific instrumentation proposals, and in successfully publishing engineering results.
  • Proven ability to communicate effectively with Principal Investigators, scientific staff, and fellow engineers.
  • Experience in anticipating and defining long-term impacts of design decisions, with the knowledge and skills to mitigate such impacts.
