Top Engineering Jobs in CO

Lead development and sustainment of optical coating capabilities for EO payloads. Collaborate with optical architects, supply chain, and technicians to design, qualify, and produce spaceflight-capable coatings. Produce data packages and reports, supervise junior staff, and maintain required security clearance and on-site presence for laboratory, production floor, and cleanroom work.

Analyze end-to-end performance of electro-optical and multispectral remote-sensing payloads across radiometric, spatial, and spectral domains. Develop modeling and simulation methods, assess imagery and environmental impacts, support requirements, performance budgets, verification, validation, testing, and design reviews. Collaborate with systems, algorithm, calibration, image-processing, mission-operations, AI&T, and hardware engineering teams. Present technical findings to peers, management, and customers.

Lead development and maintenance of the Cameo MBSE system model and SysML diagrams. Decompose system requirements to software/subcomponent levels, maintain traceability and verification matrices, and ensure model configuration and validation. Drive functional decomposition, behavioral modeling, and interface/data flow documentation. Collaborate across teams, support mission concept development and full program lifecycle execution, and present technical results to senior stakeholders.

Leads architecture for complex mission software and simulation capabilities, defining end-to-end mission data flows, interfaces, models, and software designs. Translates mission requirements into implementable architectures, evaluates reuse opportunities, leads technical trades, guides multidisciplinary implementation teams, and resolves integration issues. Supports lifecycle activities including integration, verification, validation, testing, technical reviews, and program sell-off. Requires strong technical communication and leadership across systems engineering, payload, software, modeling and simulation, and test organizations.

Provides technical leadership for mission software architectures, modeling and simulation capabilities, mission data flows, interfaces, and end-to-end processing. Translates mission needs and requirements into software functions and architectures, evaluates reuse opportunities, leads architectural trades, documents designs, guides implementation teams, and supports integration, verification, validation, testing, and technical program reviews. Collaborates across systems, payload, ground, software, simulation, and test teams.

Leads architecture, requirements, interface management, analysis, procurement, integration, testing, and operational support for space vehicle telecommunications subsystems. Manages technical risks, cost, schedule, milestones, and customer reporting while supporting launch, early operations, on-orbit testing, and post-delivery activities. Requires RF, microwave, optical, or space communications hardware experience and collaboration across engineering teams.

Analyze, model, and optimize mission performance across space, air, and ground architectures. Develop predictive algorithms and simulation tools, conduct trade-off and sensitivity analyses, derive subsystem requirements, establish performance metrics, and communicate technical findings to leadership and customers. Mentor junior engineers and support technical proposals and business strategy. The role requires on-site work five days per week, collaboration across teams, and an active TS/SCI clearance.

Analyzes and develops satellite propulsion systems, focusing on pressurized fluid dynamics. Responsibilities include orbit dynamics, delta-v budgets, surge and waterhammer estimation, plume impingement modeling, fluid flow modeling, and propellant budget estimation. The engineer may also support propulsion architecture, component and assembly management, testing, and cross-functional product delivery. The role requires on-site work five days per week and collaboration across multidisciplinary engineering teams.

Develop tools and algorithms to model, simulate, and analyze mission-system architectures across space, air, and ground domains. Translate complex performance analyses into technical reports, requirements insights, and recommendations for internal and external stakeholders. Support project milestones, proposals, cost and schedule estimation, and customer presentations while collaborating across engineering and business teams. The role is fully on-site and requires an active TS/SCI clearance.

Lead the architecture and ground-up development of next-generation RADAR systems. Own technical roadmaps, architecture trade studies, CONOPS, requirements, verification and validation, and hardware program execution. Lead multidisciplinary teams spanning mechanical, electrical, software, firmware, and test engineering; oversee suppliers, schedules, risks, customer engagement, and executive reporting. Mentor systems engineers, modernize technical processes, and present strategic recommendations to senior stakeholders.
