Position Summary:Revolution Space is looking for a dynamic and growth-oriented product development Systems Engineer with a mechanical background to contribute to the full life cycle development of our in-space electric propulsion products from requirements development through deployed operations support. This engineer is expected to integrate with the existing technical team to:
- Interface with stakeholders to develop product requirements accounting for allocation flow-down and capability flow-up to enabling robust product development and verification in support of a variety of spacecraft and in-space use cases
- Lead multidisciplinary technical teams for product development and characterization leading to well defined and documented systems and capabilities
- Develop and maintain key technical documentation (e.g. interface definitions, theory of operations, etc.)
- Serve as key interface to horizontally integrated detailed-design teams consisting of specialized skillsets
- Serve as the interface to program or project management (e.g. development and maintenance of salient schedule milestones)
- Plan, evaluate & document test product and/or component campaigns for space and application suitability in conjunction with the Revolution Space test engineering team
- In conjunction with our production and configuration management teams, prepare appropriate documentation to enable development & engineering level builds through initial low rate production
The ideal candidate will have experience in a fast paced, multi-disciplinary environment and exposure to multiple program phases from concept to deployment. As a system engineer, the ideal candidate will have broad knowledge of space system engineering practices and depth in select disciplines such as: propulsion systems, fluidics, mechanical engineering and/or electrical engineering.
