Antenna Systems Integration Engineer

Ready to make connectivity from space universally accessible, secure and actionable? E-Space is bridging Earth and space to enable hyper‑scaled deployments of Internet of Things (IoT) solutions and services.

We are looking for an Antenna Systems Integration Engineer to serve as the hands‑on US presence for E‑Space's Integrated Antenna Structure (IAS) team. This person will own hardware‑level coordination across the structural, RF, and deployment subsystem teams – ensuring the assembled antenna system survives ground and launch environments with structural performance, deployment function, and electrical circuit integrity intact.

Location:

On‑site in California or Texas. Some travel between sites required. Regular US business hours and in‑person presence at integration and test events is essential.

• Own assembly‑level coordination between structural, RF, and deployment subsystem teams, tracking interface compliance.
• Maintain and drive resolution of IAS interface control documents (ICDs), ensuring parameter handoffs between teams are defined, current, and verified.
• Serve as the primary on‑site technical representative for the IAS Lead Engineer (remote) during integration activities, test campaigns, and anomaly resolution.
• Track assembly‑level requirements through to hardware verification artifacts using requirements management and V&V closure tools (DOORS, Jama, or equivalent); flag gaps before they become schedule drivers.
• Support and coordinate antenna deployment and structural test campaigns, including pre‑test review, test execution support, and post‑test data review.
• Develop and maintain integration procedures, assembly checklists, and interface verification records.
• Identify and escalation of integration risks early: incomplete interface definitions, undocumented design changes, test article discrepancies.

• BS or MS or Ph.D. in Aerospace, Mechanical, or Systems Engineering, or equivalent.
• Experience with hardware integration on spacecraft or flight structures programs. AIT, structures integration, or systems engineering experience with hands‑on hardware responsibility.
• 2–3 years of hands‑on experience with deployable structures, gossamer systems, or large space mechanisms. Directly relevant domain experience is required, not just general spacecraft structures.
• Demonstrated ability to read and maintain ICDs, interface matrices, and assembly‑level requirements.
• Experience working across subsystem teams to resolve interface discrepancies.
• Strong written and verbal communication; this role is the translation layer between multiple teams.

• Familiarity with PLM/configuration management tools (Windchill, Teamcenter, Arena, or equivalent) and requirements management tools (DOORS, Jama, or equivalent).
• Experience running or coordinating test campaigns for flight hardware.
• Exposure to model‑test correlation or V&V planning for structural systems.

Salary: $140,000 - $210,000 a year.
