About the role

Role focused on defining, architecting, and delivering integrated satellite ground systems for commercial and government customers. Cross-functional engineering and sales-facing position that translates customer missions into executable technical solutions and oversees verification, delivery, and platform feedback.

Responsibilities

  • Serve as a technical subject matter expert for customer opportunities, deeply understanding the customer’s mission, CONOPS, operational needs, interfaces, constraints, and success criteria.
  • Lead solution architecture for commercial and government opportunities.
  • Partner with sales and business development teams to shape deal strategy, technical scope, proposal approach, and customer-facing solution narratives.
  • Support technical proposal development, including RFI/RFP responses, compliance matrices, architecture descriptions, technical volumes, BOEs, demos, and customer design reviews.
  • Translate customer mission needs into clear technical solutions that align Quindar’s platform capabilities, product roadmap, engineering capacity, and delivery approach.
  • Identify product gaps, integration risks, and architectural tradeoffs early in the opportunity lifecycle and drive alignment across internal teams.
  • Support customer meetings, technical interchange meetings, site visits, conferences, and program reviews as needed.
  • Own the systems engineering process and outcomes for assigned missions, with the level of rigor tailored to the customer and program.
  • Lead or coordinate requirements development, requirements management, interface definition, architecture documentation, verification planning, and acceptance criteria.
  • Own the verification and validation process across mission threads, including commanding, telemetry, automation, mission data flows, operational workflows, and mission-specific analytics.
  • Coordinate V&V execution across product, software engineering, forward-deployed engineering, customer, and program stakeholders.
  • Develop and maintain mission-relevant systems engineering artifacts such as requirements documents, ICDs, CONOPS, verification matrices, test plans, acceptance plans, and architecture models.
  • Support more formal systems engineering approaches for government programs, including traceability, MBSE, and structured technical reviews.
  • Ensure technical decisions are clearly documented, communicated, and aligned across customer, engineering, product, and delivery teams.
  • Advise product strategy and roadmap direction based on recurring customer needs, mission patterns, and technical gaps observed across opportunities and integrations.
  • Distinguish between one-off mission-specific needs and repeatable platform capabilities that should influence product direction.
  • Work with product and engineering teams to define feature requirements, technical priorities, and architectural considerations for mission-driven capabilities.
  • Maintain a strong understanding of Quindar’s platform, software architecture, deployment models, and technical constraints to represent the product accurately to customers.
  • Help ensure Quindar’s platform evolves to support a broad range of mission classes and environments.
  • Function as a Mission Architect alongside the Chief Engineer, Software Architect, and other technical leaders.
  • Bridge customer needs, sales strategy, product capabilities, software implementation, and delivery execution.
  • Communicate complex technical concepts clearly to customers, executives, engineers, operators, and program stakeholders.
  • Drive alignment across teams in ambiguous or fast-moving situations.
  • Help establish scalable practices, templates, and technical patterns for future opportunities and missions.

Qualifications

  • 5+ years of relevant experience in satellite ground systems, mission integration, systems engineering, technical sales, mission operations, software platform engineering, government aerospace programs, spacecraft systems, or a related field.
  • Experience coordinating across software, hardware, operations, customer, and program stakeholders on complex technical systems.
  • Ability to translate customer or mission needs into executable architecture, requirements, scope, and delivery plans.
  • Experience supporting customer-facing technical work such as solution architecture, technical proposals, design reviews, requirements discussions, integration planning, or technical program execution.
  • Familiarity with satellite operations, TT&C concepts, ground system architectures, mission operations workflows, or spacecraft-to-ground interfaces.
  • Strong technical communication skills (writing, presenting, documentation).

About Quindar

The platform to monitor and automate satellite operations

Quindar is a web app used by satellite owners to analyze, test and operate their constellation. For example, Airbus could use Quindar to operate their satellite fleet with minimal human intervention. We’re six former OneWeb engineers who helped build the software platform that currently operates the second largest satellite constellation in the world. The space industry is shifting from companies launching a handful of satellites over a decade, to launching hundreds of satellites EACH in just a few years. Our SaaS platform automates mission management and for a single engineer to operate hundreds of satellites instead of the traditional model of many engineers operating a single satellite.
