We're hiring a Subsystem Lead (SSL) to own the avionics subsystem on one or more of our space vehicle programs. You'll be accountable for delivering a subsystem that meets its requirements, cost, and schedule, from program start through on-orbit operations.

You own the technical solution: design, analysis, build, test, and delivery. You carry it out with engineers and technicians assigned by the Avionics functional team. You're the single point of contact for your subsystem to program leadership (Program Manager and Chief Engineer) and to the other subsystem leads on the vehicle. System-level requirements, architecture, and system engineering come from the program's Systems Engineering team.

You partner with them and own everything inside your subsystem boundary.

• Deliver the subsystem. Own the design, analysis, build, test, and delivery of the avionics subsystem within its allocated technical and cost targets. Run practical trades to hit those targets, and escalate to program leadership when the subsystem can't meet cost or technical requirements.
• Own subsystem requirements and verification. Turn your subsystem allocation into subsystem and component specifications, working with the program's Systems Engineer and Chief Engineer. Keep the verification matrix complete, and close out verification items through qualification and acceptance.
• Manage subsystem interfaces. Set up and maintain ICDs with adjacent subsystems (power, RF, harness, FSW, structures, thermal), and work through interface issues with their leads directly.
• Drive the schedule. Feed subsystem milestones into the program IMS, plan the detailed work behind them, and update status weekly. Flag slips early and bring recovery options with you.
• Report performance. Give timely status against the Technical Performance Measures (TPMs) for your subsystem, such as mass, power, thermal dissipation, cost, and margin.
• Own subsystem risk. Build and maintain the subsystem risk register, covering technical, supply, schedule, and cost risk, and raise risks that threaten program success.
• Lead design reviews. Present your subsystem at PDR, CDR, TRR, and tabletop reviews, with the analysis behind your design choices (worst-case, thermal, radiation, derating).
• Manage suppliers. Write the technical sections of SOWs, review proposals, help select vendors with Supply Chain, review acceptance data before shipment, and witness…
