Maxar is currently seeking a courageous, innovative, multi-skilled Technical Director of pLEO Production to join our Proliferated Low Earth Orbit (LEO) Product team in Westminster, CO or Palo Alto, CA.
Life with Us
Your Project: In this role, you will help drive production design and implementation as part of the agile pLEO Product team responsible for developing the various elements of Maxar's affordable, large-cale, scalable LEO products. The scope of work includes both bus and payload developments, and it is anticipated that you will drive improvements in related product areas within the company as an outcome of your work. To that end, we are looking for leaders to bravely challenge conventional approaches and lay the foundation for brand new product concepts and enablers focused on cost competitive space products. Our Product team exemplifies industry leadership: we are a very small, self-contained group of enthusiastic engineers and business people, where everyone wears multiple hats, all ideas are good ideas, and no jobs are too big or too small. This is an out-of-the-box opportunity that requires out-of-the-box solutions and inspired leaders. Along with other members of this dynamic team, you will play an essential role in shaping the strategic roadmap, oversee one or more individual IR&D projects, work with and help to oversee internal and external partners, applying design-for-manufacturing/design-for-test (DFM/DFT) principles to develop specifications and manufacturing plans suitable for volume production. You will be responsible for developing creative solutions to integrate customer inputs and technical requirements with your knowledge of design and production to define systems that that we can build profitably, with an emphasis on designing enough flexibility and scalability into them that they envelope a range of customer needs without requiring substantial NRE to tailor them to each new pursuit.
Your Career: We're very serious about professional development and continuing education at Maxar. We offer our team members 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. This unique opportunity is a high visibility role on the vanguard of innovation within the company. You will be well-supported by management and colleagues.
What We Offer: Time for dedicated professional development, conference attendance, corporate partner and industry training, peer group collaboration, hackathons, as well as paid certifications, education reimbursement and student loan forgiveness.
Who you will work with: You will be supported by the Product Manager and colleagues, as well as mission architects, systems engineers and subsystem groups to oversee one or more areas of detailed engineering whether in-house or at partners and contractors, to ensure Product development objectives are met.
