Kepler is on an audacious mission: to bring the internet to space. Founded in 2015, our ambition is to provide internet connectivity in space, whether in LEO, MEO, GEO, or beyond. With an expanding base of early customers and our first 23 satellites in orbit, Kepler is continuing to grow and expand its most important asset – the Team!


Kepler is looking for a dynamic systems designer who enjoys technical challenges in a fast-paced environment, applies sound judgement in successful planning and execution, meets commitments and communicates effectively with all stakeholders.


As a Systems Designer at Kepler, you will be responsible for creating and implementing technical solutions across the spacecraft platform, leading engineering trades and technical budgets, and collaborating with cross-functional teams to develop innovative space products.

Responsibilities:

  • Create and use model-based approaches to scope technical solutions across the spacecraft platform and space products.
  • Lead and conduct engineering trades and technical budgets
  • Conduct coverage and reliability analysis and flow the results into the various hardware and software designs required for the system.
  • Deep dive in technical niches to support or lead new product designs.
  • Work closely with other cross-functional engineering teams including RF, mechanical, software, and FPGA to develop full product solutions.
  • Work closely with teams of subject matter experts from diverse fields to iterate on and for the final spacecraft.
  • Develop and manage key program documentation and verification structures (requirements, ICDs, ConOps).
  • Troubleshoot system behavior anomalies, determine root cause analysis and provide technical guidance to steer the team towards resolution.
  • Assist in system road-mapping and conduct feasibility studies and contribute to proposals for other business units.
  • Support prototyping, production, assembly, integration and testing of systems and subsystems.

Requirements:

  • Bachelor’s degree in a relevant field (electrical, mechanical, aerospace engineering).
  • 5+ years of relevant experience within a systems engineering environment.
  • Strong understanding of aerospace systems and engineering fundamentals.
  • Hands-on environmental testing (vibration, thermal, shock or thermal vacuum) or electromagnetic interference (EMI) testing experience.
  • Ability to distil complex problems to fundamentals to solve with analysis, similarity, or creativity.
  • Ability to read and decipher highly technical data, and conduct trade-offs for competing requirements.
  • Experience with qualification and acceptance testing of new designs.
  • Experience creating or using models and/or simulation software.

Bonus Points:

  • Strong understanding of the space environment and orbit mechanics.
  • Master’s degree in relevant field (electrical, mechanical, industrial, aerospace engineering) or strong academic/professional project experience.
  • Solid understanding of the product development lifecycle process, including analysis and design, development tools and technologies, release and version control, contemporary testing methodologies and deployment management.
  • Experience taking a product from the concept phase through to prototyping, launch, and operations.
  • Experience developing in C/C++ or Python.
  • A good foundation in spacecraft attitude dynamics and control algorithms, with emphasis on practical application of knowledge.
  • Experience with mission and orbit modelling and simulation.
  • Experience developing CAD for complex assemblies.
