Top Engineering Jobs in CO

Lead the architecture and development of next-generation RADAR systems, integrating mechanical, electrical, software, firmware, and test engineering teams. Own technical roadmaps, architecture trade studies, customer CONOPS, requirements, verification, risk, subcontractor oversight, and program execution. Present strategic recommendations to senior stakeholders and mentor systems engineers while guiding hardware development through manufacturing, integration, testing, and operational sell-off.

Leads cross-functional engineering teams through the full lifecycle of spacecraft and payload structures, mechanisms, antennas, or mechanical ground support equipment. Manages cost estimates, schedules, technical requirements, risks, opportunities, and project milestones through hardware delivery. Requires system-level thinking, leadership, communication, and coordination across organizational teams. Preferred experience includes EVMS, subsystem breadth, prototype-to-production ramps, and subcontract management.

Leads manufacturing engineering and operational planning for complex aerospace products. Responsibilities include improving product manufacturability, developing compliant manufacturing processes, creating production plans and schedules, managing manufacturing and test operations, and leading multidisciplinary engineering and production teams. The role is on-site five days per week, may involve local travel, and requires a valid U.S. driver’s license. Clearance is not initially required, but eligibility for future submission may be necessary.

Leads manufacturing and test operations for complex aerospace products. Responsibilities include improving product manufacturability, reducing costs, ensuring quality and compliance, developing manufacturing processes and instructions, creating production plans and schedules, and leading cross-functional engineering, quality, testing, inspection, and technician teams. The role also resolves operational issues independently, supports integration testing, and coordinates with internal and external customers.

Leads cross-functional mechanical engineering teams through spacecraft and defense subsystem projects from concept to hardware delivery. Responsibilities include managing cost estimates, schedules, technical requirements, risks, opportunities, and team accountability. The role requires system-level thinking, strong communication, leadership, and coordination across organizational units. Preferred experience includes EVMS, multiple subsystem types, prototype-to-production ramps, and subcontract management. Work is fully on-site and may involve production, laboratory, cleanroom, and outdoor environments.

Leads manufacturing and test operations for complex aerospace products, including design-for-manufacturability, process development, production planning, scheduling, cost and quality improvement, and compliance. Manages and coordinates engineers, planners, quality staff, test engineers, inspectors, and technicians across fabrication, assembly, integration, testing, and procurement. Resolves operational issues independently and supports program cost, schedule, and performance goals in an on-site office, laboratory, production, or cleanroom environment.

Configures, assembles, calibrates, and operates RF test ranges for production and prototype testing. Installs antennas and tooling, executes documented tests, processes test data, maintains records, troubleshoots circuits, performs equipment and range maintenance, and supports process improvements. The role requires safe handling of heavy equipment, emergency response awareness, teamwork with engineering and manufacturing groups, and consistent third-shift on-site attendance.

Performs RF range setup, calibration, antenna installation, test execution, data processing, documentation, equipment maintenance, and troubleshooting. Supports prototype and development testing, including circuit-level troubleshooting, electronic circuit assembly, mathematical calculations, and preventive maintenance. Works onsite on a fixed first-shift schedule, follows safety and quality procedures, maintains records, and collaborates with technicians and engineering teams.

Leads cross-functional mechanical engineering teams through spacecraft and defense subsystem projects from concept to hardware delivery. Manages cost estimates, schedules, technical requirements, risks, opportunities, and team accountability across the project lifecycle. Required qualifications include an engineering degree, six or more years of related experience, demonstrated leadership, strong systems thinking, and excellent communication. The role is fully on-site and requires an active Top Secret/SCI clearance with the ability to obtain a polygraph clearance.

Leads mission systems integration and testing for space and ground systems. Responsibilities include developing interface control documents, CONOPS support, simulator requirements, verification plans, mission test procedures, end-to-end testing, launch rehearsals, and post-launch integration activities. The role coordinates technical resources, leads mission-level test execution, supports issue resolution and regression testing, and collaborates across engineering and business organizations.
