    Description
    Payload Design Engineer

    Scout is building a new way to see and operate in space: with a new paradigm of data empowering every satellite to make space safer. We are a rapidly-growing team; we are deploying real solutions to orbit; and our work will transform the face of spaceflight. We are looking for people that bring excitement and energy to our organization, are curious and eager to learn, and want to help drive our programs forward.

    As a Payload Design Engineer, you will play a crucial role in the design, development, manufacturing, assembly, integration, test, and operations of our advanced electro-optical payloads for space missions. Your expertise will be essential in ensuring the successful integration and performance of system-level components within our space payloads. This position may be dependent on a contract award.

    Responsibilities:
    • Take optical payload design concepts from whiteboard to launch, including development, manufacturing, assembly, integration, test, and operations
    • Lead and design environmental test campaigns
    • Manage subcontractors and suppliers for optical payload systems
    • Perform hands-on lab assembly and testing
    Required Qualifications:
    • Must be eligible to hold a clearance.
    • Deep expertise in one or more of the following: mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, or embedded systems
    • Experience with optical systems
    • Experience with space systems
    • Ability to manage subcontractors and validate requirements
    • Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to articulate complex concepts and technical information clearly and concisely.
    Preferred Qualifications:
    • Strong background in developing optical space systems
    • Proven track record of leading payload development cycle
    • Understanding of optical, mechanical, and electrical design requirements for a variety of orbits
    Don't fulfill all the qualifications listed above? If you still feel like you might be a good fit, please feel free to APPLY ANYWAY. We believe in a well-rounded team, and this sometimes means that someone with out-of-context knowledge can contribute just as well as someone with very explicit alignment with our capabilities needs stated.

    Our positions are based in the Reston, Virginia area, with much of our team operating in a hybrid or remote fashion. Our preference is for candidates in or around this area (or willing to relocate) as we scale our facilities and engineering team and provide more opportunities to work and collaborate in-person. Remote employees will be required to travel for onsite work and in-person meetings.
