About the role
As a Product Systems Engineer at Loft, you will work at the intersection of software architecture, systems engineering, and product — contributing to the coherence of our overall offering across ground, space, software, and hardware. You will help define how capabilities are structured and allocated across segments, and how customers, third-party software, and Loft's own stack interact.
What they're looking for
- Strong systems engineering background in complex technical products spanning software and hardware
- Experience working at the boundary between architecture definition, requirements structuring, and engineering implementation
- Proficiency in software architecture, networking protocols, embedded systems, and integration strategies
- Ability to structure complex systems into clear capabilities, interfaces, requirements, and responsibilities
- Proven ability to lead cross-functional technical efforts and align diverse teams toward a common goal
- Strong communication and documentation skills, including the ability to distill technical ambiguity into a clear framework for decisions and execution
