About the role
As our VP of Engineering & Lead Engineer, you will own the final technical delivery of EnduroSat US across hundreds of missions and the engineering organization that creates it. Systems engineering, mechanical, structural and FEA, thermal, software, and the other disciplines all report to you. You hold final technical authority on US programs: you decide what the system looks like, you sign off on the final architecture, and you are accountable when it does not work. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.
What they're looking for
- Hold final technical authority on US programs. You sign the architecture, you arbitrate when disciplines disagree, and you decide how to get a design to the next step
- Assess our system designs deeply and honestly. Know where the platform meets a mission as it stands and where we are stretching it
- Know the competitive landscape and how our systems and subsystems stack up in it
- Own the technical side of the milestone reviews. Mission & Programs runs the cadence, you are accountable to get us through the program milestones such as SRR, PDR, CDR, and TRR (internally or externally)
- Own technical risk. Identify it, quantify it, decide what is impactful, what should be tested or modified, and tell the program team what it costs
- Set the engineering standard across disciplines — analysis rigor, margin policy, documentation, design review practice, the rules on when a model is good enough and the judgement when no one else can say
