ABOUT THE JOB

You'll own launch integration for spacecraft programs from kick-off through separation on orbit, serving as the primary technical interface to the launch vehicle provider.

WHAT YOU’LL DO

• Author and negotiate Launch Requirements Documents and Interface Control Documents (ICDs) that define the mechanical, electrical, and environmental interfaces between the spacecraft and launch vehicle
• Coordinate delivery of analysis and data products to and from the launch provider – mass properties, coupled loads analysis (CLA) inputs and results, structural and thermal FEMs, separation and clearance analyses, range safety documentation, MSDS, and test reports
• Define and verify spacecraft compatibility with launch environments (quasi-static, vibration, acoustic, shock, and thermal), reconciling launch provider levels against the spacecraft design and test program
• Own the verification and compliance matrix against launch provider requirements for spacecraft and payloads
• Plan and lead launch site operations – transport, fit-checks, propellant loading support, integrated testing, encapsulation, and day-of-launch activities
• Support integration and readiness reviews (e.g., MRR, LRR, FRR) and present launch readiness status internally and to customers
• Work with internal teams and government agencies to obtain the required licenses and approvals (FAA, FCC, NOAA, etc.) and comply with range safety and orbital debris mitigation regulations for launching spacecraft
• Triage issues, conduct root cause investigations, and drive lessons learned from each launch campaign into simpler, more standardized processes across programs
• Create excellent technical documentation – integration plans, interface control documents, procedures, test reports
