About the Job
As a Payload Engineer I at Lodestar, you'll be joining the payload team as a primary delivery engineer on CORONA, a SpaceWERX Direct-to-Phase-II program to take an integrated autonomous sensing and effector payload from laboratory breadboard to qualified engineering model.
You'll help design, build, integrate and test the payload across optics, mechanical, avionics and software. Working alongside the Founding Engineer and senior systems, GNC, electronics and optics engineers, you'll take the engineering model through 18 months and nine milestones, with design reviews in front of USSF, Space Systems Command and AFRL at each gate.
