Life with Us

Your Project: Our team within Space Engineering is responsible for defining and managing the development and deployment of the Maxar Mission Control System including: real-time command and control, data processing and distribution, data archiving, subsystem analysis tools, ground resource scheduling, and image meta-data systems. You are an ideal candidate if you have experience with spacecraft operations utilizing large, complex ground systems. In this role, you will leverage your experience to quickly learn all aspects of the Maxar ground system from ordering, planning and tasking, raw telemetry data processing, core image processing, data management and discovery, web/cloud hosting and distribution, with an emphasis on mission control. You will own Maxar initiative capability features, feature content and acceptance criteria, and provide technical leadership to other system engineers who, as Product Owners, provide technical leadership and support to scrum teams that keep mission maintenance and enhancement features continuously deploying to the operational baseline.

Your Career: We are very serious about professional development and continuing education at Maxar. We offer our team members with the opportunity to define their own career trajectory. Our group has amazing resources to support learning and development. You will work with your manager, or a mentor, to set goals and design a development plan to advance your career.

Lead the Agile Software Development Life Cycle process used to facilitate system baseline changes
Own initiative capability deliverables expected from the customer organizations
Oversee the management of component/service-level requirements and traceability to design documentation, test cases, and operational training material
Work directly with feature owners, other systems engineers, program managers, developers, testers and customers to define features and generate optimal system designs
Create system-level functional flows with an ability to frame all requirements inside those flows
Create draft flows and lead design sessions with component subject matter experts to create preliminary designs
Lead development of as-built models and design documents for software components to ensure all documentation is current
Continually learn about our evolving complex ground system with a particular focus on spacecraft to ground interfaces
Make contributions to the enterprise vision, engineering processes, and overall architecture roadmap
Lead design sessions with internal clients from back-end processing to user interfaces, with an emphasis on the mission control domain within the Maxar ground system
Manage internal client expectations to ensure realistic deliverables and then exceed those expectations.
Lead the troubleshooting around command and control telemetry system anomalies, which may require directing the interpretation of hex dumps and scripting tools for team use
Coordinate team responses to large scale dynamic requests
Mentor other Systems Engineers and build rapport with other collaborators such as spacecraft engineers and component software developers
