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

Leads complex aerospace and space-systems programs across scope, schedule, budget, risk, staffing, procurement, finance, and customer deliverables. Establishes program baselines, business rhythms, performance reporting, and recovery plans while coordinating engineering, finance, supply chain, legal, and other functional teams. Manages contractual data requirements, proposal efforts, program execution, and customer relationships from pre-solicitation through launch, delivery, and operations.

Lead the design, analysis, verification, and validation of flight control systems for next-generation aerospace vehicles, focusing on flap actuation during hypersonic reentry and transonic flight. Develop simulations, conduct performance trade studies, support hardware-in-the-loop and flight testing, integrate systems with multidisciplinary teams, document technical work, and mentor GNC engineers.

Develop and maintain aerospace vehicle digital twin capabilities using NVIDIA Omniverse and OpenUSD. Integrate CAD, system models, requirements, simulation, test, telemetry, and operational data through Python APIs and data pipelines. Ensure traceability, configuration control, verification, validation, and model-to-test correlation. Collaborate across engineering, manufacturing, test, and mission operations teams while applying AI-assisted development tools and participating in agile planning and technical reviews.

Design, analyze, simulate, verify, and validate guidance, navigation, and control systems for launch and reentry vehicles. Develop trajectories, conduct performance trade studies, support hardware and software integration testing, analyze flight data, and collaborate with multidisciplinary engineering teams.

Develop and maintain embedded platform software (drivers, middleware, loaders) for avionics systems. Collaborate with hardware and systems engineers, contribute to architecture and design, perform testing/debugging and performance optimization, produce documentation, and participate in code reviews and mentorship to support safe, reliable spaceflight systems.

Design and verify RPOD operations for lunar spacecraft: define concepts of operations, decompose requirements across subsystems, develop navigation/ guidance and estimation methods, support sensor and software integration, lead V&V and testing (including flight demonstrations), analyze test data, and build tools and automation to ensure safe, reliable docking and relative navigation.

Develop and maintain embedded platform software (drivers, middleware, loaders) for avionics systems. Collaborate with hardware and systems engineers, participate in architecture and design, optimize performance, test and debug across hardware platforms, document designs and APIs, mentor peers, and integrate platform software across products.

The Senior Payload Systems Engineer manages payload integration, supporting customer requirements and system engineering processes for space vehicles. Responsibilities include system verification, technical advocacy, and oversight of integration activities.

Lead architecture, design, development, and integration of scalable flight software for a large LEO/MEO satellite constellation. Define frameworks, core services (C&DH, telemetry, health, fault management), ensure software quality, CI/CD, SIL/HIL verification, secure OTA updates, and cross-functional integration across avionics, GNC, communications, and payload teams.

The Senior Embedded Software Engineer will design and verify embedded software for avionics in Lunar vehicles, collaborate with hardware engineers, and utilize advanced tools for debugging and performance analysis.
