  • Drive innovation in modeling, design, analysis, and alignment methods to support product roadmap.
  • Participate in alignment system architecture trade studies with complex and interdependent performance requirements.
  • Support business development with architecture concepts, feasibility analysis, and white paper writing.
  • Support project engineering with project scope, schedule, and risk analysis.

Startup Mindset:

  • You're creative, flexible, and eager to wear multiple hats.
  • You're passionate about building systems from the ground up and comfortable with ambiguity and change.

The expected annual salary range for this position is $125,000-$175,000.
