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

Lead and execute large-scale spacecraft assembly, integration, and test campaigns. Define AI&T strategies, oversee cleanroom/lab integration, mentor engineers and technicians, author proposals, estimate cost/schedule, optimize test processes, and ensure operational readiness and quality for flight hardware.

Design and support mechanical components for optical payloads and focal plane assemblies across the full lifecycle: CAD design, fabrication, assembly, testing, verification, cost/schedule tracking, engineering change and risk management, cross-functional coordination, and mentoring junior engineers. On-site role with travel between facilities.

Design mechanical components for optical payloads and focal plane assemblies for space/tactical applications. Perform CAD modeling, analyses, fabrication support, assembly, testing, requirement verification, change management, and cross-functional coordination. Mentor junior engineers and collaborate with systems, program leadership, customers, and external providers.

Support mechanical design of optical payloads and focal plane assemblies from proposal through design, fabrication, assembly, test, verification, and sustaining engineering. Perform CAD modeling and analyses, manage cost/schedule and engineering changes, coordinate across subsystems and stakeholders, mentor junior engineers, and support on-site integration and testing.

Lead and execute integration and verification testing of spacecraft mechanisms. Write and run test procedures and scripts, troubleshoot hardware in cleanroom/lab environments, collaborate with systems and software teams, use EGSE and test benches, prepare documentation and presentations, and potentially lead small teams.

Design, develop, and integrate novel optical hardware for space and airborne systems. Lead and collaborate on optical sub-system development, alignment, procurement, testing, and validation. Support proposals, write technical papers, present at design reviews, and perform hands-on lab and cleanroom work across company campuses.

Lead the Command & Data Handling (C&DH) avionics subsystem for space vehicle programs. Design, architect, verify, and deliver avionics and spacecraft networking, define interfaces and V&V plans, produce technical documentation, present to stakeholders, and collaborate across multidisciplinary teams to meet technical, cost, and schedule requirements.

Lead systems engineering activities across missions, segments, elements, and subsystems. Manage requirements allocation, traceability, verification, and interface development using MBSE. Support chief engineer and customer engagements, prepare for SRR/PDR/CDR/PSR reviews, coordinate verification with I&T, mentor engineers, and support program risk, ERB, and delivery activities while maintaining cross-functional relationships.

Design, develop, integrate, and align state-of-the-art optical systems for space and airborne instruments. Lead optical subsystem development, procure and validate components, support proposals and design reviews, and perform hands-on hardware and analytical work in lab/cleanroom environments.

Lead launch-segment concept development, requirements definition/verification, and interface management. Coordinate with launch providers, ranges, and internal teams for mission integration and launch campaign execution. Produce technical documentation, support proposals, manage launch site materials/training, and refine launch processes. Serve as single point of contact for launch system interfaces.
