From Quindar's posting. “We” and “our” refer to the employer.
Quindar is seeking a Mission Integration Engineer to help define, architect, and deliver integrated satellite ground systems for commercial and government customers.
The Mission Integration team owns the technical path from opportunity shaping through verified mission deployment. This includes solutions and sales engineering, technical proposal development, solution architecture, product strategy input, and formal systems engineering functions during execution.
Mission Integration Engineers become deep subject matter experts on both Quindar’s platform and the customer’s mission, translating mission needs into executable technical solutions and ensuring those solutions are delivered, verified, and accepted.
This is a highly cross-functional role. You will work closely with both customers and Quindar teams in sales, product, software engineering, forward-deployed engineering, and customer success. You will help shape contract scope, define mission architectures, identify product gaps, manage requirements and verification outcomes, and ensure Quindar’s software is aligned to the mission’s operational, technical, and programmatic needs.
We are looking for candidates who can operate at both the big-picture and detailed levels: someone who can understand a customer opportunity deeply, reason through architecture and trade space, communicate clearly with technical and non-technical stakeholders, and drive structure in complex, first-of-kind missions.
The strongest candidates will be able to quickly become experts in both Quindar’s platform and a customer’s mission. They will be comfortable moving between architecture, proposal strategy, customer conversations, requirements, verification, product gaps, and execution risk. They will know how to create structure where it does not yet exist, communicate tradeoffs clearly, and drive teams toward a shared technical outcome.
This role is well suited for someone who wants to operate at the intersection of satellite missions, software, systems engineering, product strategy, and customer-facing technical leadership.
Why You’ll Love Working at Quindar
You will work in a cutting-edge industry and have direct impact on the success of real space missions.
You will help shape how modern satellite ground systems are architected, sold, deployed, and verified.
You will work across the full mission lifecycle, from early opportunity shaping through technical acceptance.
You will have meaningful influence on product direction and technical strategy.
You will be part of a small team where your judgment, ownership, and technical leadership matter.
We take work-life balance seriously, require employees to take 15 days off, provide unlimited PTO, and follow most U.S. federal government holidays.
We provide quarterly health and wellness benefits because mental health is just as important as physical health.
We offer comprehensive health insurance for you and your family, with 100% coverage for employees.
We provide 4% 401(k) matching to help employees save for retirement.
Each year, we host a four-day company offsite. Previous locations include San Francisco, Nashville, Denver, Santa Fe, New Orleans, San Diego, Bozeman, and New York City.
Our culture and company are still evolving, and you will help shape the next version of both.
