Constellation Architecture Design & Simulation Engineer

Ready to make connectivity from space universally accessible, secure and actionable? Then youve come to the right place!

E-Space is bridging Earth and space to enable hyper-scaled deployments of space-powered Internet of Things (IoT) solutions and services. We are fundamentally changing the design, economics, manufacturing, coverage limitations and service deliveryassociated with traditional satellite and terrestrial IoT systems.

By building a highly-advanced low Earth orbit (LEO) space systemwith a unique antenna design, highly sustainable spacecraft system and low-cost, small portable end-user deviceswe can extend global satellite coverage, capacity and connectivity beyond legacy space services to provide a new kind of IoT platform that lets users sense, track, connect and act on information gathered, anywhere.

Were intentional, were unapologetically curious and were 100% committed to saving space, protecting our planet and turning connectivity into actionable intelligence.

As a Constellation Modeling and Simulations Architect, you will be a critical member of the Autonomous Flight Systems and Simulations Team building highly accurate models of the spacecraft and space environments. You will enjoy large complex problems with multi-agent contributions to determine specific and probabilistic results. Your background will include either a first principles understanding of spacecraft guidance navigation and control mechanisms and forces, or radio frequency engineering and modeling.

Key Responsibilities

As the technical authority for constellation design, you will:

Lead the development and maintenance of the overall constellation architecture and design baseline.
Define and freeze constellation geometry to support downstream spacecraft procurement and program execution.
Develop and validate end-to-end link budgets across both Mobile Satellite Services (MSS) and Fixed Satellite Services (FSS), considering environmental effects including rain fade and Doppler.
Perform coverage analysis and network performance simulations to optimize service availability and capacity.
Conduct interference and compatibility studies, including Equivalent Power Flux Density (EPFD) modelling to support regulatory compliance.
Produce technical documentation supporting regulatory filings, constellation deployment planning and launch strategy.
Develop long-term capacity modelling and network growth strategies.
Collaborate with systems engineering, payload, RF, regulatory and commercial teams to optimize overall network performance.
Provide technical leadership for constellation design activities throughout the program lifecycle.

Basic Qualifications

5+ years’ experience in LEO and/or MEO satellite constellation design.
Extensive hands-on experience using tools such as STK, GMAT, FreeFlyer or equivalent orbital analysis and simulation software.
Proven experience developing and closing satellite communications link budgets across MSS and/or FSS systems.
Strong understanding of orbital mechanics, constellation optimization and satellite network performance modelling.
Direct experience supporting ITU coordination activities, including EPFD analysis and interference studies.
Experience producing technical documentation supporting satellite system design and regulatory submissions.
Ability to communicate complex technical concepts to multidisciplinary engineering teams and senior stakeholders.
Postgraduate qualifications in Aerospace Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Applied Physics or a related technical discipline.

Preferred Qualifications

Experience working on Non-Terrestrial Networks (NTN) or next-generation satellite communications systems.
Technical publications or recognized expertise in orbital mechanics, interference analysis or satellite communications.
Experience supporting large-scale commercial satellite constellation programs.

This is a full time, exempt position, based out of our Santa Clara, CA location.

The total compensation packaged will be determined by various factors such as your relevant job-related knowledge, skills, and experience. We are redefining how satellites are designed, manufactured and used—so we’re looking for candidates with passion, deep knowledge and direct experience on LEO satellite component development, design and in-orbit activities. If that’s your experience – then we’ll be immediately wow-ed. E-Space is not currently able to provide employment sponsorship for candidates who do not hold work authorization for the location of this role.

Why E-Space is right for you:

We want you to make the most of your journey at E-Space. Thats why we support and invest in the physical, emotional and financial well-being of our team members and their families. Some of what you can expect when working at E-Space:

An opportunity to really make a difference

Sustainability at our core

Fair and honest workplace

Innovative thinking is encouraged

Competitive salaries

Continuous learning and development

Health and wellness care options

Financial solutions for the future

$150,000 - $200,000 a year
