Top Engineering Jobs in CO

Analyze and characterize electro-optical payload performance across radiometric, spatial, and spectral domains. Develop modeling and simulation methods, evaluate unresolved imagery, verify requirements, assess environmental impacts, support payload testing and design reviews, and collaborate with systems, hardware, algorithms, calibration, image processing, and mission operations teams.

Leads program quality planning and execution across design, suppliers, manufacturing, and customers. Ensures requirements flow down through the value stream, manages phase gates, audits, inspections, PPAP submissions, nonconformances, Material Review Boards, corrective actions, and quality risks. Coordinates QA resources, supports production transitions, represents quality to customers, and mentors junior staff.

Lead modernization of spacecraft command and control architecture across C&DH avionics, flight software, communications, ground systems, and mission control. Define roadmaps, interfaces, prototypes, trade studies, and implementation strategies using modern networking and distributed-system technologies while preserving legacy compatibility, reliability, cybersecurity, and mission performance. Provide technical leadership, coordinate stakeholders, and mentor engineering teams.

Leads the development, analysis, integration, testing, and flight support of guidance, navigation, and control systems for space programs. Responsibilities include defining requirements, performing attitude, orbit, trajectory, agility, stability, and dynamics analyses, supporting hardware and software testing, documenting technical designs, and presenting results to technical and customer audiences. The role also contributes across the program lifecycle from proposals and concept development through procurement, integration, test, and on-orbit support.

Designs, simulates, tests, and documents RF passive and active circuits for phased-array antennas, receivers, transmitters, oscillators, and RF subsystems operating from VHF through 20 GHz. Leads RF hardware realization, testing, troubleshooting, and production readiness while mentoring engineers and technicians. The role also involves customer interaction, technical leadership, measurement analysis, circuit-board and chip-and-wire design, and coordination across internal and external facilities.

Designs, installs, terminates, tests, troubleshoots, repairs, and maintains secure and non-secure telecommunications cabling, including LAN, voice, video, data, radio frequency, and data center infrastructure. Develops wiring diagrams, maintains labeling and organization standards, cross-connects circuits, operates aerial platforms, and may supervise personnel. The role is onsite at Fort Carson and may require non-standard schedules and physically demanding work in military-secured environments.

Lead software quality assurance for aerospace and defense mission ground systems across development, operations, maintenance, and sustainment. Perform baseline audits, release approvals, compliance assessments, verification and validation oversight, anomaly tracking, process improvement, and mission procedure reviews. Support customer and program reviews, Agile ceremonies, software assurance planning, configuration management, vulnerability identification, and lifecycle compliance. Mentor QA peers and coordinate with engineering, operations, mission assurance, configuration management, and program teams.
