Mass-manufacturing productized satellite platforms to accelerate deployment of critical, next-generation constellations. Backed by a16z and CRV.
About the role
Apex is looking for a Space Vehicle Systems Engineer to support system-level design, integration, and verification over the lifecycle of commercial and government programs. In this role you'll define space vehicle architecture from mission objectives, allocate and trace requirements down to the subsystem level, and hold the interfaces together so that every element operates as one coherent vehicle. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.
What they're looking for
- Active Top Secret or Top Secret/SCI clearance required, ability to obtain and maintain access to additional programs as needed
- Bachelor's degree in Aerospace Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Physics, or a related field, advanced degree is a plus
- 5+ years of systems engineering experience, preferably in spacecraft, aerospace, or defense hardware development
- Strong grounding in systems engineering principles, requirements management, and verification and validation methodologies
- Working knowledge of spacecraft subsystems and their interdependencies, including attitude control, power, thermal, propulsion, communications, and command and data handling
- Proficiency in requirements management tools and systems engineering software (e.g., DOORS, Jira, SysML)
More about this role
Spacecraft represent the most pressing unmet need across the entire aerospace industry. As more launch vehicles come online and the cost to orbit decreases, more companies launching payloads to space continue to emerge.
For the first time in history, this influx of payload companies combined with reduced launch costs has resulted in a massive increase in need for commercial spacecraft platforms, known as satellite buses. These buses hold the payloads of our customers and are flown on launch vehicles.
Apex manufactures these satellite buses at scale using a combination of software, vertical integration, and hardware that is designed for manufacturing. Our spacecraft enable the future of society: ranging from earth observation to communications and more.
We’d love for you to join us on our mission of providing humankind access to the galaxy beyond our planet.
