Candidate must be able to obtain and maintain a U.S. Government security clearance at the Secret level or higher, and any program-specific access required for the position. Continued employment is contingent upon obtaining and maintaining the required clearance and access. Bonus points for the following: * Direct experience with UEWR, PARCS, Cobra Dane, or comparable strategic radar systems. * Experience with Space Domain Awareness, missile warning, or missile defense missions. * INCOSE CSEP/ESEP or equivalent systems-engineering leadership., Access Control, COBRA (Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985), Calibration, Cross-Functional, Economics, Government, Internet of Things, Leadership, Legal, Manufacturing, Process Improvement, Radio Frequency, Risk Management, Secret Clearance, Security Clearance, Service Delivery, Signal Processing, Sustainability, System Operations, System Readiness Review (SRR), Systems Engineering, Technical Leadership, Technical Presentation, Trade Studies, United States Citizen, Waveform Design ## Description Ready to make connectivity from space universally accessible, secure and actionable? Then you've come to the right place! E-Space is bridging Earth and space to enable hyper-scaled deployments of Internet of Things (IoT) solutions and services. We are building a highly-advanced low Earth orbit (LEO) space system that will fundamentally change the design, economics, manufacturing and service delivery associated with traditional satellite and terrestrial IoT systems. We're intentional, we're unapologetically curious and we're 100% committed to innovate space-based communications and deliver actionable intelligence that will expand global economies, protect space and our planet and enhance our overall quality of life. Join us to design and deploy next-generation, satellite-based radar that delivers persistent, all-weather, day-night sensing at global scale. You'll build end-to-end capabilities-from waveform design, on-board processing, classification and calibration-for systems on LEO platforms. Working across RF hardware, phased arrays, and advanced DSP, you'll turn raw echoes into decision-ready products. If you thrive at the intersection of electromagnetics, signal processing, and systems engineering-and want your code and designs to fly-this role is for you. What you'll be doing: * Lead technical engagement with Government site, mission, operations, maintenance, and infrastructure stakeholders. * Develop and maintain legacy-interface inventories, site-assumption logs, mission threads, constraints, and verification needs. * Trace the solution to all three core missions and identify gaps before SRR. * Coordinate architecture, requirements, MBSE, RF, software, cyber, test, and site-integration decisions. * Own closure plans for legacy-site and mission-integration risks and present evidence at technical reviews. ## Related Videos - [Building 10x Organizations Using Modern Productivity Metrics](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100026-building-10x-organizations-using-modern-productivity-metrics) - [Perfect Pitch: Unveiling the Mathematical Symphony Behind a Guitar Tuner](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1095-perfect-pitch-unveiling-the-mathematical-symphony-behind-a-guitar-tuner) - [Security Pitfalls for Software Engineers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/726-security-pitfalls-for-software-engineers) - [One Pipeline, Three Regulator - SBOM Compliance for the Developer](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100169-one-pipeline-three-regulator-sbom-compliance-for-the-developer) - [The age of agency: When products start to think and act](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1925-the-age-of-agency-when-products-start-to-think-and-act) - [Robust AIGC Provenance with Invisible Watermarking](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100222-robust-aigc-provenance-with-invisible-watermarking) ## Related Articles - [How We Built a Worry-Free System That Runs for 10+ Years – And What We’d Do Again](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/751-how-we-built-a-worry-free-system-that-runs-for-10-years-and-what-we-d-do-again) - [What is Software Engineering?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/289-what-is-software-engineering) - [Events like RSAC Get You CISOs.
