As a Forward Deployed Product Engineer, you'll ensure software reliability for satellite missions, troubleshoot issues, engage with customers, and prototype new products.

Serve as technical integrator and program engineering leader for satellite ground systems. Ensure architectural cohesion, cross-team alignment, mission execution, and reliability across mission software, platform infrastructure, security, and operations. Contribute to design, integration, proposals, reviews, anomaly resolution, mentoring, and hands-on implementation for complex commercial and government space programs.

Own functional, integration, exploratory, and regression testing for mission-critical satellite operations software. Develop test plans and cases, validate web applications, APIs, and backend workflows, investigate defects using logs and observability tools, and collaborate with product and engineering teams throughout development. Use automation and AI-assisted tools to improve coverage and efficiency while applying sound QA judgment.

Develop and integrate software command-and-control solutions for satellite vehicles. Integrate satellites and flight software into a mission management platform, decompose customer mission requirements, troubleshoot hardware-software interfaces, and support scalable product solutions. The role requires expertise in embedded software, satellite protocols, command and telemetry standards, encryption, cloud services, and version control, along with strong customer communication and independent problem-solving skills.

Develop backend satellite operations software using Python and AWS, build and troubleshoot APIs, integrate containerized deployments (Docker/Kubernetes), use IaC (Terraform), collaborate in Agile teams, and contribute to generative AI integrations, DevSecOps, CI/CD, and architecture to support scalable, secure mission operations.

Develop backend Command & Control (C2) systems connecting Quindar's platform to satellites. Implement machine-to-machine communication, binary protocols, serialization, transport, stateful comms, telemetry, and hardware integrations. Onboard diverse spacecraft, translate interfaces into maintainable integrations, build scalable abstractions and tooling, and improve reliability, observability, and performance while collaborating cross-functionally.

The Vice President of Programs & Operations will lead mission execution, ensuring reliable deployments for commercial and government customers, managing cross-functional teams, and establishing operational processes for satellite missions.

Develop and maintain cloud-native backend and frontend systems for satellite operations using Python and AWS. Build APIs, containerized and serverless architectures, CI/CD pipelines, and integrate with React/TypeScript frontends while supporting mission-specific U.S. government programs and improving system reliability, performance, and observability.
