About the Role:
This is a senior technical leadership role within major satellite constellation programs. The Mission Design Authority is the ultimate technical authority on the program, owning architecture, requirements, and key technical decisions.
You’ll work across programs that include large constellations and payload-focused missions, influencing 100-200+ cross-functional engineers while partnering with internal stakeholders and directly interfacing with customers.
The Company
A global leader in space and satellite systems, advancing some of the world’s most ambitious constellation programs. This organisation is deeply invested in technical excellence and long-term program success.

Benefits & Opportunities
- Relocation support: Available for strong candidates, particularly from the U.S.
- Influence at scale: Lead technical direction for programs that impact global connectivity.
- Growth potential: Shape evolving programs while collaborating with some of the industry’s leading engineering teams.
To be successful, you’ll need to have…
- 10–15+ years of experience in the space/satellite industry (mandatory).
- A strong background in systems engineering, architecture, and technical leadership on complex satellite programs.
- Experience as a System Manager or equivalent role in large payload programs is highly valued.
