## Description

Redwire Space Missions LLC is seeking a Systems Engineer to join our team in Littleton, CO. In this role, you will support the development of a new spacecraft designed for very-low Earth orbit (VLEO) missions. You will work closely with lead systems engineers on requirements management, interface management, customer deliverables, and cross-functional coordination. The ideal candidate has a strong systems-thinking mindset, thrives in a fast-paced environment, and is comfortable supporting complex technical decision-making across multidisciplinary engineering teams.
Responsibilities

 * Support lead systems engineers in managing system and subsystem requirements, including requirements decomposition, flow-down, verification method identification, and customer coordination.
 * Drive interface management activities, ensuring clear definition, communication, and maintenance of mechanical, electrical, and data interfaces across engineering teams.
 * Contribute to customer deliverables such as requirements documents, interface control documents, verification plans, and milestone review artifacts.
 * Collaborate across engineering functional groups to evaluate design decisions, support down-selection of COTS components, and ensure physical implementations meet functional and performance requirements.
 * Support development of a new spacecraft bus and payload accommodations optimized for VLEO environments, including consideration of environmental constraints, system-level performance drivers, and operational needs.
 * Participate in cross-functional engineering trades, risk assessments, and technical reviews to ensure coherent system architecture and traceability.
 * Assist in planning and tracking verification and validation activities aligned to system requirements and program milestones.
 * Contribute to integration and test readiness by supporting the creation of test plans, reviewing test setups, and ensuring alignment with verification objectives.
 * Communicate effectively with program leadership, engineering teams, and customers to convey technical status, risks, and mitigation strategies.
