Top Tech Jobs & Startup Jobs in Denver & Boulder, CO

Own and maintain the hardware-in-the-loop test automation framework for the TeraWave satellite communications program. Develop automated test scripts, regression suites, and data-driven sequences for production qualification. Debug failures, improve test robustness, coordinate framework integration, support bench and acceptance testing, and provide training. Mentor automation engineers, review technical contributions, and collaborate with electrical test, EGSE software, and production teams on coverage, architecture, and deployment.

Owns end-to-end spacecraft design and development for orbital data centers, including power, thermal, compute, communications, structures, and mechanisms. Leads complex CREO modeling, trade studies, structural and thermal analysis, tolerance analysis, and hardware verification and validation. Provides technical leadership to multidisciplinary engineers while remaining hands-on, collaborating with manufacturing and electrical engineering teams, and presenting design recommendations to program leadership.

Lead mechanical design, analysis, test, and review of flight- and mission-critical hardware for lunar landers. Create CAD models, drawings, test fixtures, perform structural analysis/FEA, define interfaces, support production and quality, run trade studies, and mentor junior engineers.

Executes spacecraft vehicle-level development and environmental test campaigns, including TVAC, vibration, acoustic, shock, thermal cycling, and EMI/EMC testing. Operates HIL benches, monitors telemetry, captures and reduces data, develops and updates test procedures, supports test readiness reviews, prepares reports, manages anomalies and configuration documentation, and maintains ESD/FOD-compliant test environments.

Plans and executes spacecraft development, environmental qualification, EMI/EMC, integration, and acceptance test campaigns. Operates HIL benches, monitors telemetry, captures and analyzes test data, writes formal reports, manages anomalies, and improves test procedures. Leads production test transition by developing training and documentation, supports readiness reviews, mentors junior engineers, and collaborates with systems engineering, safety, and quality teams on requirements and test readiness.

Develop and verify spacecraft autonomy, control algorithms, and flight software for lunar landers. Responsibilities include deriving requirements, modeling and simulation, building Simulink control code, analyzing and testing algorithms, and supporting subsystem verification. The role requires collaboration with GN&C and spacecraft systems teams and expertise in flight management, guidance, control, navigation, and astrodynamics.

Leads architecture, development, integration, testing, and qualification of spacecraft reaction wheels and momentum-control systems. Develops motor-control algorithms, embedded control architectures, FPGA implementations, flight software, FDIR strategies, and dynamic-system models. Oversees multidisciplinary integration of electronics, software, mechanical assemblies, and controls; supports qualification, anomaly resolution, production, and on-orbit operations. Provides technical leadership and mentorship across controls, FPGA, and embedded software teams.

Leads assembly, integration, and test architecture for satellite payloads and constellation systems. Develops verification strategies, production test flows, acceptance campaigns, throughput models, and launch processing concepts. Drives design-for-test, automation, risk mitigation, and AI&T metrics across spacecraft subsystems. Authors proposal and customer materials, serves as technical authority, and transitions mature architectures to program teams. Requires extensive hands-on spacecraft AI&T and launch or deployment experience.

Leads end-to-end development of space-rated avionics and power hardware, including requirements, schematic and PCB design, controller algorithms, testing, qualification, production support, and flight integration. Performs power integrity, reliability, radiation, and worst-case analyses; supports hardware validation and defect disposition. Collaborates cross-functionally, reviews designs and documentation, manages product configurations, and mentors junior engineers.

Leads electrical software testing for TeraWave spacecraft avionics, from requirements and test planning through qualification, acceptance, integration, and flight support. Develops procedures, automation, instrumentation, data acquisition infrastructure, and scalable ground support equipment. Leads electrical and RF test campaigns, anomaly investigations, root-cause analysis, and corrective actions while coordinating across engineering, manufacturing, and production teams. Drives production readiness through test-time, yield, and anomaly metrics.
