Own and scale AWS, on-premises, and Kubernetes infrastructure supporting Xona’s satellite navigation platform. Build observability systems with OpenTelemetry, automate delivery and infrastructure through IaC and GitOps, improve reliability and cost efficiency, and establish Kubernetes deployment standards. Partner closely with software teams to enable autonomous deployments, enforce security and performance practices, and design scalable, highly available infrastructure for a growing global service.

Own software program execution across navigation services, mission operations, and flight software. Manage schedules, releases, dependencies, risks, cross-functional coordination, reporting, and software-hardware interfaces. Build lightweight automation, tooling, integrations, and reporting systems while supporting development through live and on-orbit operations. The role requires software fluency, hardware-adjacent experience, strong systems thinking, and the ability to coordinate complex aerospace programs.

Develops production-grade C++ and Python automated tests for distributed cloud and edge systems. Responsibilities include unit, integration, and end-to-end testing; deterministic test harnesses and mocks; C++/Python interoperability validation; Bazel and GitLab CI/CD integration; code coverage enforcement; and debugging complex test failures. The role collaborates closely with software and infrastructure engineers to validate numerical, navigation, and multi-service system logic.

Leads the architecture, delivery, verification, and on-orbit support of embedded flight software for a satellite constellation. Manages and grows the flight software organization, establishes scalable development and quality processes, coordinates with multidisciplinary engineering teams, and drives technical strategy, reliability, resource planning, and delivery across satellite programs.

Designs and automates cloud security architecture, guardrails, IAM, zero-trust controls, and compliance across AWS infrastructure, Kubernetes platforms, and CI/CD pipelines. Conducts threat modeling and security assessments, monitors cloud threats, supports incident response, and builds self-service security tools that enable engineering teams to work securely. The role partners with platform, DevOps, SRE, architecture, and enterprise security teams.

Owns and scales AWS multi-account cloud infrastructure, network topology, disaster recovery, reliability, security, and cost optimization. Designs VPCs, Transit Gateways, Direct Connect, VPNs, and routing policies; standardizes infrastructure through Terraform and AWS CDK; implements observability; and enables engineering teams with self-service infrastructure, launch reviews, and capacity planning. The role also requires container orchestration expertise, secure cloud design, automation skills, and collaboration with SRE and product engineering teams.

Design, implement, and execute test plans for satellite RF systems and subsystems. Build and maintain RF test setups, automate data capture and analysis, validate system performance, troubleshoot RF anomalies, and support environmental testing. Collaborate with subsystem teams to define verification matrices across the satellite development lifecycle.

Conduct GNSS analyses and live-sky test campaigns for a LEO-PNT satellite system, produce technical reports and white papers, support rapid-turnaround assessments, validate signals with lab and field testing, and contribute to product documentation and demonstrations.

The GNC Engineer will design, implement, and test attitude control systems for precise spacecraft maneuvering, involving simulations and software development.

Lead ERP implementation and own finance systems, integrations, and workflows. Partner with Accounting, IT, and leadership to automate processes, build reporting/dashboards, support data migration, UAT, training, and audit readiness across multi-entity operations.
