Top Engineering Jobs in CO

Supports the development, optimization, and troubleshooting of manufacturing processes for satellite and spacecraft hardware. Responsibilities include production line setup, equipment troubleshooting, process documentation, CAD design, production data analysis, cross-functional issue resolution, and continuous improvement. The role also contributes to manufacturing standardization and efficiency initiatives in an aerospace environment.

Design, implement, and evaluate spacecraft GNC algorithms and FDIR. Develop SIMULINK/STK simulations, model sensors/actuators, run Monte Carlo analyses, validate GNC flight software, ensure requirement compliance, and communicate technical results to stakeholders.

Lead the development and integration of advanced GNC systems for spacecraft. The role involves designing algorithms, subsystem integration, and ensuring technical excellence across multiple aerospace projects.

Leads spacecraft mission design, modeling, simulation, and analysis for constellations and system-of-systems architectures. Derives requirements, evaluates mission performance, supports vehicle and payload sizing, validates system models, develops analysis tools, and presents recommendations to customers, executives, and engineering teams. Supports business development, technical documentation, and mission design process development while leading teams through complex space and defense programs.

Designs and develops complex tooling and fixtures for advanced manufacturing processes. Leads process optimization, gated design reviews, validation, and cross-functional improvement projects. Creates CAD models, drawings, and specifications; collaborates with engineers, suppliers, technicians, and operators; supports tooling implementation and training; and ensures compliance with safety, quality, and manufacturing standards.

Assists senior engineers with designing, analyzing, and evaluating mechanical ground support equipment for spacecraft assembly, integration, and testing. Supports work on fixtures, shipping containers, pressure panels, tooling, and transportation equipment; collects and analyzes engineering data; resolves routine technical problems; and prepares technical documentation and reports. Collaborates cross-functionally, follows guidance, meets deadlines, and communicates technical concepts clearly.

Designs, analyzes, and tests aerospace systems and components, with emphasis on aerodynamics, aerothermal analysis, astrodynamics, or related disciplines. Performs vehicle-level analysis, system design, first-order analyses, simulations, and testing; develops technical documentation and reports; communicates technical information; and collaborates with cross-functional teams during reviews and engineering problem-solving activities.

Lead strategic initiatives to improve production efficiency and quality, design and optimize manufacturing processes, mentor junior engineers, integrate new products with production, oversee maintenance and predictive maintenance programs, diagnose complex equipment issues, and manage projects including budgeting, scheduling, and resource allocation in an aerospace/defense manufacturing environment.

Manage and troubleshoot IT systems including OS installation/configuration, network configurations, virtualization, automation scripting, backup/recovery design, user and resource administration, Active Directory and Group Policy management, and collaborate with cross-functional teams to support IT projects and improve infrastructure reliability.

Provide technical leadership for major aerospace programs: maintain technical baseline, oversee design/development/testing, resolve complex multidisciplinary technical issues, reduce technical risk, adjudicate configuration gaps, and build and execute program-level technical strategies to ensure mission success.
