Ready to make connectivity from space universally accessible, secure and actionable? Then you’ve come to the right place!
E-Space is bridging Earth and space to enable hyper-scaled deployments of Internet of Things (IoT) solutions and services. We are building a highly-advanced low Earth orbit (LEO) space system that will fundamentally change the design, economics, manufacturing and service delivery associated with traditional satellite and terrestrial IoT systems.
We’re intentional, we’re unapologetically curious and we’re 100% committed to innovate space-based communications and deliver actionable intelligence that will expand global economies, protect space and our planet and enhance our overall quality of life.
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. This is the role for someone who thrives at the intersection of system-level thinking and hands-on hardware execution.
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.
What you will do::
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 escalate integration risks early: incomplete interface definitions, undocumented design changes, test article discrepancies.
Required qualifications::
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.
Preferred qualifications::
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.
This is a full time, exempt position, based out of our Saratoga, CA or Arlington, TX office. The total compensation packaged will be determined by various factors such as your relevant job-related knowledge, skills, and experience.
We are redefining how satellites are designed, manufactured and used—so we’re looking for candidates with passion, deep knowledge and direct experience on LEO satellite component development, design and in-orbit activities. If that’s your experience – then we’ll be immediately wow-ed.
E-Space is not currently able to provide employment sponsorship for candidates who do not hold work authorization for the location of this role.
