York Space Systems was founded to radically improve spacecraft affordability and reliability, transforming, and enabling next-generation space mission operations worldwide. Today, York is one of the most innovative aerospace companies, specializing in end-to-end customer solutions and the rapid production of spacecraft platforms. York’s complete Space Segment Solution includes spacecraft production, payload integration, system integration & test, launch services, ground segment services, and mission operations, enabling customers to leverage York’s existing technology solutions to get to orbit rapidly and responsively.

We’re looking to expand our team across the board.

We’re looking for a passionate candidate with an Aerospace and Software background to expand our Simulation, Integration, and Test (SIT) team. The SIT department plays a pivotal role in ensuring the successful deployment and operation of satellites by providing support to critical areas:
Flight Software, Ground Software, Vehicle Test, and Mission Operations. The department collaborates with engineering teams to develop and maintain modern software engineering standards that lead mission success. Additionally, it supports rigorous testing processes to validate hardware and software, minimizing risks prior to launch. On the ground, the department supports the seamless operation of ground software systems for satellite communication, monitoring, and control, facilitating real-time data analysis and mission management.

Together, these efforts ensure that satellites are properly launched, placed into orbit, and operated efficiently, supporting a range of applications for our customers.

The ideal candidate will act as the critical interface between developers and our internal customers. They will be working across engineering teams to build and improve on simulation and test products and help integrate and test mission critical software.
