Tomorrow.io is a leading weather intelligence and climate resilience platform combining proprietary satellite technology, advanced AI forecasting models, and actionable analytics. The company operates a weather observation constellation powered by internally developed sensing technologies.
You will join the space program as a Senior Systems Engineer, responsible for the development, integration, and verification of an integrated satellite vehicle for the weather observation constellation. You will translate mission objectives into technical requirements, develop verification and validation plans, manage system risks, and coordinate across multi-disciplinary teams to ensure high reliability and data quality.
Key responsibilities include:
- Evaluating and planning how weather sensing payloads operate, interact, and perform on orbit
- Developing payload architecture and technical designs from concept through launch and operations
- Defining and managing payload requirements, verification plans, and traceability
- Coordinating payload interfaces with the spacecraft bus and partner teams
- Planning and executing payload integration and testing; documenting results and tracking technical performance
- Modeling payload and mission performance, conducting trade studies, and supporting trajectory and constellation planning using Ansys STK
- Identifying and addressing technical risks; investigating operational anomalies and determining root causes
- Working with engineers, scientists, partners, and leadership to resolve technical issues and improve engineering quality
You will make a measurable global impact by advancing atmospheric sensing technologies, influence foundational architectures for environmental sensing, solve challenging problems at the intersection of space systems and climate innovation, and work in a mission-driven environment valuing technical excellence and thoughtful execution.
REQUIREMENTS:
- 6+ years developing, integrating, and testing complex space systems (satellite payloads or spacecraft)
- Strong knowledge of spacecraft subsystems, payload integration, and performance modeling
- Experience with system architecture, requirements and interfaces, verification planning, and integrated testing
- Familiarity with MBSE or similar systems engineering methods
- Experience conducting system trade studies and managing technical and program risks
- Familiarity with orbital mechanics, LEO Earth observation constellations, and mission analysis tools (STK, GMAT, or Orekit)
- Ability to work across engineering and science teams and explain technical topics clearly to varied audiences
- Sound engineering judgment and adaptability in fast-moving development environments
- Mission-level perspective with integrity, accountability, transparency, and willingness to learn from successes and setbacks
- Ability to travel 15-20%; ability to lift up to 35 pounds while traveling
