Does this sound like you ?

EOI Space is looking for a talented Payload Lead with a strong background in the fundamentals of space-bound electro-optical payload development and related image processing to own and drive the development of EOI’s primary payload.

In this role, you will hold broad responsibility to drive design; ground-based integration, alignment and testing; and subsequent design iterations/improvements over time for a complex, ~50 cm aperture electro optical payload.

This includes direct management of engineers within the payload as well as extensive cross-functional collaboration with other engineering departments to ensure overall functional, structural, design, interface, and performance requirements of the payload are addressed.

While this is a lead role , and part of this role is people management, as in any small organization, the majority of your time is expected to be spent on tasks related to the design, build, and test of the payload.

This role will manage both internal engineering and sub-contractor teams associated with payload specific subsystems and structures.

The ideal candidate will have program management experience in addition to strong technical fundamentals and demonstrated experience executing across the full breadth of areas needed to drive a subsystem to completion (technical, program management, SOW development and management, supplier engagement, etc.).

• Lead the overall development of the payload, ultimately delivering a system (internally) that meets performance, cost, and schedule objectives
