Our mission-driven team is seeking a bold and dynamic System Architect/Engineer who is fueled by high accountability, execution horsepower, and driven to understand our world, science/technology, and life itself, for the benefit of all on Earth and beyond.
SUMMARY
Since Axiom Space is a very complex work environment, we are looking for a resilient, high-energy System Architect/Engineers. A System Architect/Engineer is responsible for defining and maintaining the overall technical architecture of Axiom Station, ensuring that requirements, interfaces, performance, and design decisions remain aligned from concept through implementation. This role translates mission, customer, and stakeholder needs into structured system requirements, functional architectures, and integrated technical solutions across hardware, software, and operations.
The position works closely with cross-functional teams to manage trade studies, technical risks, interfaces, and system-level decision making throughout the development lifecycle. The ideal candidate combines strong systems engineering fundamentals with the ability to think strategically, communicate early, and connect high-level objectives to detailed design execution. Experience with complex multidisciplinary systems, architecture development, and technical leadership in fast-paced environments is highly desirable.
DUTIES & RESPONSIBILITIES
Develop and maintain Axiom Station system architecture utilizing Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) and Magic Grid/OOSEM Frameworks aligned with NASA NPR 7123. Collaborate with subsystem design owners using Solid Works/PDM to ensure architecture alignment with mechanical and electrical constraints. Support system decomposition and requirements flow down across engineering disciplines. Generate architecture deliverables, trade analyses, and reports for internal technical reviews and program milestones.
Coordinate closely with subsystem owners, program management, and mission operations to maintain consistent assumptions and integrated behavior. Conduct cross-discipline integration to identify risks, dependencies, and emergent system behaviors early in the product lifecycle. Support integration and test activities to validate modeled assumptions and compliance. Maintain traceability and configuration across concept development, design maturity, verification, and operational deployment. Participate in major design reviews and readiness milestones with engineering and customer stakeholders.
Communicate project progress, status, and potential issues to stakeholders and leadership. Implement and maintain agile project management methodologies throughout the project lifecycle. Perform additional job duties as assigned.
To perform this job successfully, an individual must be able to perform each essential duty satisfactorily. The requirements listed below are representative of the knowledge, skill, and/or ability required. Reasonable accommodations may be made to enable individuals with disabilities to perform the essential functions.
