Launch & Deployment Integration Engineer
Manage launch-vehicle interfaces, environmental requirements, dispenser integration, deployment sequencing and launch-site readiness.
Role mandate
Build the capability for the era ahead.
This team member will combine subject-matter depth, sound judgment and disciplined execution to move the mission from architecture to measurable results.
Responsibilities
- Own the Launch Integration workstream for Launch & Deployment Integration Engineer and deliver measurable technical or operating outcomes.
- Create repeatable plans, evidence and controls that demonstrate product and mission readiness.
- Lead failure analysis, risk retirement, quality review and corrective action.
- Coordinate suppliers, engineering teams and operations through integration and acceptance.
Required qualifications
- Experience in aerospace manufacturing, integration, environmental test, quality, reliability or safety.
- Working knowledge of verification planning, nonconformance control and root-cause analysis.
- Strong attention to traceability, documentation and measurable acceptance criteria.
Preferred experience
- Experience with flight hardware, launch environments or radiation assurance.
- Knowledge of recognized aerospace quality and mission-assurance practices.
Scientific and technical requirements
Physics, mathematics and engineering foundations
- Verification engineering, reliability statistics, vibration/acoustics, thermal-vacuum physics, EMC, radiation effects, quality and configuration control.
- Probability distributions, confidence intervals, Weibull/exponential life models, uncertainty and root-cause analysis.
Mathematics and working equations
- For constant hazard λ, R(t) = e^(−λt) and MTBF = 1/λ; justify independence and mission-profile assumptions.
- Random vibration uses acceleration power spectral density and integrated Grms; structural response is evaluated through transfer functions and modal models.
- Thermal-vacuum balance uses conductive and radiative heat equations; radiation assurance closes TID, displacement damage and SEE rates with margin.
- Failure-mode risk priority and fault-tree probability must preserve traceability to evidence and common-cause dependencies.
Hardware, flight and infrastructure components
- Flight and ground-support equipment, harnesses, connectors, mechanical fixtures, cleanroom controls, simulators, EGSE and calibrated instrumentation.
- Thermal-vacuum chamber, shaker, acoustic facility, shock equipment, EMC chamber, radiation sources/beam facilities and non-destructive inspection tools.
Software, laboratory and analysis tools
- Requirements/test management, configuration and nonconformance systems, statistical analysis, FRACAS, FMEA/FMECA and fault-tree software.
- Automated test equipment, data acquisition, metrology, contamination monitoring and manufacturing execution/traceability systems.
Verification and mission skills
- Control procedures, configuration, calibration, workmanship, test limits, redlines, anomalies, retest logic and objective acceptance evidence.
- Demonstrate interface compatibility and mission readiness from component qualification through system acceptance and launch-site operations.
