Top Engineering Jobs in CO

Leads mechanical design and integration of infrared telescope and sensor payloads for spacecraft. Responsibilities include athermalized optomechanical design, cooling solutions, structural and thermal analysis, optical alignment, metrology, vibration isolation, CAD documentation, supplier coordination, and design reviews. Establishes optomechanical standards and drives technical outcomes across payload programs from concept through qualification and production.

The Mechanical Engineer will design and develop flight hardware for missile defense and hypersonic vehicles, leading mechanical integration, creating structural designs, and ensuring compliance with defense standards.

Leads propulsion development and test teams, owning technical roadmaps, requirements, design trades, test campaigns, facility planning, procurement, safety, regulatory compliance, and hardware commissioning. Manages engineers, schedules, budgets, risks, and cross-functional resolution of propulsion infrastructure and development issues. The role requires hands-on aerospace propulsion expertise, hypergolic and hazardous-fluid experience, and leadership of hot-fire, cold-flow, and pressure-testing programs.

Serves as technical authority and team leader for space-based interceptor tooling and mechanical ground support equipment. Responsibilities include requirements, CAD design, fabrication, qualification, vendor management, safety and regulatory compliance, configuration control, root-cause investigations, budgets, schedules, and production support. Leads tooling engineers, chairs design reviews, and presents to program leadership, MDA offices, and government stakeholders. Designs fixtures, lifting devices, launch equipment, transportation containers, weldments, and integration tooling while ensuring compliance with defense and aerospace standards.

Technical lead for spacecraft electrical power systems: set architecture and standards, lead design/analysis/verification of generation, storage, and distribution, perform reliability and radiation analysis, direct qualification and integration, mentor engineers, and support hardware through production and launch.

As a Principal RF Electrical Engineer, you'll architect multi-mission RF systems, define communication strategies, mentor senior engineers, and represent the company's RF capabilities externally.

As an Operations Engineer III, you'll plan and execute missions for RPO-class spacecraft, manage operations procedures, resolve anomalies, and conduct analysis post-mission, collaborating with cross-functional teams.

Lead mechanical design and development of spacecraft structures, mechanisms, and assemblies from concept through flight delivery. Perform CAD modeling, define GD&T, integrate avionics and propulsion, lead design reviews, develop test plans, and mentor junior engineers to ensure launch- and on-orbit-qualified hardware.

Perform spacecraft radiation analyses (TID, SEE, DDD) and develop environment models; plan and execute radiation test campaigns; support part selection and mitigation strategies; maintain parts library; produce verification artifacts for requirements; support proposals, design reviews, and stakeholder briefings; train cross-discipline teams on survivability and reliability practices.

Support buildout and operation of a propulsion test facility: requirements and trade studies, CAD and P&ID support, pressure and structural analysis, procurement and fabrication oversight, installation and commissioning, and test operations including data acquisition, test execution, and post-test reporting. Early-career role with hands-on hardware and cross-functional responsibilities.
