Lead Systems Engineer

Tomorrow.io Space division is responsible for the development of unique spaceborne sensing systems and for the overall space mission, from architecture through implementation. The data being collected will be integrated seamlessly into Tomorrow.io existing forecasting and modelling systems and will revolutionize global weather forecasting and insights.

We are looking for a Lead Systems Engineer who will play an integral role in the development through operations of a space-based weather radar system.

As a Lead Systems Engineer within the Space division at Tomorrow.io, you will work with a multidisciplinary team in the development through operations of a unique small spacecraft and mission. You will develop and inform system architecture through the completion of detailed simulations and analysis at all levels of the mission (instrument through full space systems architecture). You will work through complex system trades, will develop/maintain the requirements and verification program to progress the development from the design phase through operations. You will lead the systems engineering team and processes in the development and execution of the space mission.

What you’ll do:

• Develop simulations and perform analyses across the space systems architecture
• Develop and maintain technical budgets for vehicle performance
• Develop and manage requirements and verification methods
• Develop (and execute) tests and analyses to predict/demonstrate/verify system performance
• Develop and maintain core program documentation, such as conops documents, specifications, ICDs, etc.
