Lead Mission Ops Engineer — Reusable Spacecraft

At Orbital Paradigm, we design, develop, manufacture, and operate reusable orbital logistics systems. Our spacecraft perform multiple orbital mission profiles and return safely to Earth through hypersonic atmospheric reentry and landing with pinpoint accuracy for rapid refurbishment and reuse.

Role Description

We are looking for a Lead Mission Operations Engineer to establish and lead the Mission Operations function at Orbital Paradigm.

The role covers mission planning, CONOPS, operational architecture, procedures, ground segment interfaces, simulations, rehearsals, live operations, anomaly response, and post-mission analysis for reusable orbital logistics vehicles. The engineer will work closely with systems, GNC, flight software, avionics, propulsion, AIT, mission analysis, ground segment, and program teams to define how missions are planned, validated, executed, and improved.

This is a technical leadership role requiring direct hands-on experience...
