• Support vendor development, internal design evaluation, testing, analysis, and integration efforts for mission-critical payload systems
• Lead systems engineering, calibration, verification, and troubleshooting activities across payload development lifecycles
• Collaborate with leadership and Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) to manage payload risks, opportunities, and technical studies
• Support product lifecycle activities including design reviews, troubleshooting, integration, testing, and operational initialization
• Lead cross-functional engineering coordination across payload development, software, analysis, integration, and test organizations
• Support payload performance analysis and execution of digital signal payload/subsystem test plans
• Review Statements of Work (SOWs), Interface Control Documents (ICDs), technical data sheets, and supplier/factory compliance documentation
• Support environmental testing activities including stress, thermal, EMI/EMC, and related space qualification testing
• Execute payload and subsystem integration activities aligned with mission needs and CONOPS requirements
• Support calibration and initialization of digital signal payloads and associated subsystems
• Work closely with subcontractors, suppliers, and internal engineering teams to ensure successful payload delivery and certification
• Participate in major engineering milestone reviews including SRR, PDR, CDR, and related lifecycle events
• Support specification development for digitally processed payloads and space-rated hardware systems
• Lead or support small technical teams across payload design and integration lifecycles
