What this job asks for AI summary
A spacecraft bus manufacturer is hiring a Sensor Systems Engineer to own sensor products from initial concept through qualification and production. The role spans system architecture, trade studies, verification and qualification test campaigns, failure investigations, and cross-functional collaboration with structures, thermal, avionics, GNC, and manufacturing teams. It suits a hands-on engineer comfortable with hardware ownership and clean-sheet design in a fast-paced aerospace startup environment.
Mid level · Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim, CA · Bachelor's required · Full-time

We read this from the posting text with AI. Skim the description below before ruling yourself out.
Why we read it this way (6)
This role is primarily a hardware/systems engineering position in aerospace — not a software or IT occupation. No standard computer/mathematical SOC code fits cleanly; 15-1299 (Computer Occupations, All Other) is used as the closest available code, though 15-1211 (Computer Systems Analysts) is noted as a secondary option given the systems-analysis and trade-study work. Neither is a strong match for a spacecraft sensor hardware engineer.
No overall years-of-experience requirement is stated in the required qualifications. The preferred qualifications mention '1-2 years' in aerospace or technical product development, suggesting this is an early-career to mid-level role.
No compensation figures are disclosed in the posting.
The role is based at Apex's Playa Vista (Los Angeles) office; in-person presence is expected — not remote.
Skills listed are largely methodological (test engineering, hardware ownership, trade studies) rather than named software tools or platforms, which limits the concrete named-technology skill list. Items such as 'sensor systems' and 'DFM' appear only under Preferred Qualifications.
Ignored 4 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): systems engineering, test planning, failure analysis, project management.
