Top Engineering Jobs in CO

Design and develop advanced optical systems for space and airborne instruments. Lead optical subsystem development, alignment, integration, and procurement of optics. Support proposals, RFIs, and design reviews. Work hands-on in labs, cleanrooms, and production environments; collaborate across disciplines and present technical results. Maintain effective working relationships and perform related duties as required.

Lead and execute integration, assembly, and test (AI&T) campaigns for spacecraft hardware. Define test strategies and AI&T flows, direct cleanroom and lab testing, identify GSE/facilities, author proposals, estimate cost/schedule, mentor engineers and technicians, optimize cost/schedule/risk, and track operational performance to ensure mission readiness.

Lead launch-segment concept development, requirements definition, interface management, and mission integration with launch providers. Author technical documentation and coordinate safety, materials, and operations to support launch campaigns. Serve as single point-of-contact for launch system interfaces and support proposal and test activities.

Lead systems engineering activities across missions, segments, elements, and subsystems. Ensure requirements allocation, traceability, verification, and interface development using MBSE. Support gate reviews, coordinate verification with I&T, manage risk/opportunity processes, mentor engineers, and interact with chief engineers and customers to deliver mission systems.

Early-career systems engineer supporting enterprise digital engineering and MBSE initiatives. Assist with systems modeling, data integration, automation, AI-enabled workflows, tooling, standards, training, and stakeholder engagement to modernize engineering processes across programs and functions.

Lead the RF communication subsystem design and integration for space vehicles, manage technical teams, define requirements, and support program milestones.

Design and develop cutting-edge electronic systems with a focus on FPGA design, implementing digital IP integration, and creating reusable circuits. Collaborate in a team to deliver high-impact technologies while maintaining effective relationships and following test protocols.

Perform system safety analyses and establish safety requirements for systems, equipment, and procedures. Develop MIL-STD-882E safety documentation (SSPP, SAR, software safety analyses), track hazards in HTS, audit operations, support accident investigations, and collaborate across IPTs. Communicate with leadership and customers and ensure compliance with safety standards.

Perform end-to-end system and software testing for the DARC radar program, develop test plans/procedures, support fault detection/isolation/recovery, aggregate and analyze test data, assist test automation and system integration from subsystem to system level, and produce final acceptance test reporting while supporting an agile development team.

Perform system safety engineering across the system lifecycle, develop MIL-STD-882 compliant safety program plans, review designs and operations, conduct hazard analyses (PHA, FMEA, FTA, PRA) including software safety, prepare safety documentation and mishap reports, support launch processing and testing, implement safety standards, and communicate safety requirements to engineering teams and stakeholders.
