What this job asks for AI summary
A senior-level role focused on designing, developing, and qualifying electronic subsystems for space missions — covering avionics, payload electronics, and power distribution. The work spans architecture definition, component selection, hardware oversight, and end-to-end test execution (electrical, EMI/EMC, thermal, vibration), with responsibility for cross-team interface management and mentoring junior engineers. Suits an experienced space-industry systems engineer with a strong mixed-signal electronics and radiation-hardening background.
Senior level · 10+ years · Denver-Aurora-Lakewood, CO · Bachelor's required · Full-time

Why we read it this way (7)
This role is a Space Electronics Systems Engineer — a hardware/systems engineering discipline rather than a pure software or IT occupation. SOC 15-1299 (Computer Occupations, All Other) is used as the closest available code; 15-1211 (Computer Systems Analysts) is a plausible runner-up given the systems-integration and ICD work, but the primary day-to-day work is electronic hardware design and test, not IT systems analysis.
The experience requirement is stated as '10+ years of systems engineering experience in the space industry, OR 4+ years in a senior/lead role' — the overall years minimum is set to 10 (the primary threshold); the 4-year senior/lead alternative is a meaningful substitution path not captured in a single number.
US Citizenship is explicitly required, though no formal security clearance is stated as a gate.
The role is hybrid (3 days onsite, 2 days remote) — not fully remote. SEAKR Engineering is headquartered in Centennial, CO, within the Denver-Aurora-Lakewood CBSA.
Radiation-hardened component selection and firmware/software integration for embedded microcontrollers are called out as required technical expertise but name no specific product or tool, so they are captured under the broader required skills (radiation testing, FPGA) rather than as separate named-tool entries.
Space-qualifying standards (NASA SP-3008, ECSS-E-ST-20C, MIL-STD-1553, SpaceWire) appear under Preferred Skills and are marked accordingly.
Ignored 2 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): digital electronics design, analog electronics design.
