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.
What you bring to this role:- Bachelor's degree in engineering or a related technical field and 10+ years of complex defense-system engineering.
- Experience integrating radar, sensor, command-and-control, or mission-processing systems into operational environments.
- Demonstrated requirements decomposition, interface management, trade studies, and technical risk management.
- Ability to lead Government and multi-discipline technical working groups.
- Security clearance: U.S. citizenship is required. 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.
This is a full time, exempt position, based out of our Saratoga office. The target base pay for this position is $120,000 - $200,000 annually. The total compensation packaged will be determined by various factors such as your relevant job-related knowledge, skills, and experience.
We are redefining how satellites are designed, manufactured and used-so we're looking for candidates with passion, deep knowledge and direct experience on LEO satellite component development, design and in-orbit activities. If that's your experience - then we'll be immediately wow-ed.
This role requires access to controlled technical data. Under U.S. law (ITAR/EAR), we can only consider U.S. persons (U.S. citizens, lawful permanent residents, and individuals granted asylum or refugee status).
E-Space is not currently able to provide employment sponsorship for candidates who do not hold work authorization for the location of this role.
