Senior Assembly, Integration and Test Engineer

About Us:

Samara Aerospace is revolutionizing satellite design by addressing the challenges of deploying and managing large satellite constellations. Our innovative Hummingbird spacecraft bus offers a modular and scalable platform that streamlines satellite production and deployment, significantly reducing launch costs. Hummingbird's compact architecture maximizes launch capacity, making it the most efficient and agile spacecraft in the industry. At the core of our technology is the patented Multifunctional Structures for Attitude Control (MSAC) system. Unlike traditional wheel-based pointing control systems, MSAC utilizes actuators embedded in the hinges of deployable solar panels to provide 3-axis attitude control and active jitter cancellation. This design eliminates the need for spinning wheels, reducing mass and potential points of failure, while enhancing pointing precision.

Role:

The Engineering team at Samara is looking for a Senior AIT Systems Engineer to own the systems assembly, integration, test and scalability for the Hummingbird bus. The first flight vehicle for Hummingbird will launch on a SpaceX rideshare in 2027. In this position you will be expected to use a systems engineering approach to lead the AIT campaign for Hummingbird. This will include requirements traceability, verification/validation planning, and systems interfacing. Y
