Kick-Stage Integration Engineer (All Levels)

As an Integration Engineer at Impulse for our high-energy kick-stage, Helios, you will own all aspects of the transition from a primary structure weldment to a vehicle that is ready to launch. You will work in a fast-paced environment, coordinating between structures, propulsion, avionics, software, firmware, and test engineers to execute critical vehicle system level tests.

Additional Note: Leveling will be commensurate with experience. 

Responsibilities

• Own vehicle build from assembly start through integration onto the launch vehicle
• Support integration of propulsion components, tubes, avionics components, payloads, sensors, cables and harnessing
• Develop, execute, and document critical system-level testing, working directly with subsystem level owners
• Collaborate with engineering teams to support test readiness reviews, anomaly resolution, and configuration control
• Plan, support and drive system integration and activation alongside skilled technician teams
• Build, organize and manage a multidisciplinary schedule to drive delivery of the spacecraft on time
• Provide innovative solutions to problems while operating with a high degree of autonomy
• Work and communicate effectively at a technical level with numerous teams across propulsion, avionics, structures, software, test, and manufacturing
• Identify, track, and communicate build issues and work across the organization to drive resolutions
• Provide feedback to design teams to improve processing of the spacecraft through the entire lifecycle

Minimum Qualifications
