We're looking for a talented Hardware and Systems Integration Engineer to join our Prototyping and Integration (PI) Team, supporting development of highbandwidth optical intersatellite communication systems. The PI-Team accelerates hardware development through rapid prototyping, manufacturing, and integration of novel Line Replaceable Units (LRUs) and systems for the Optical Intersatellite Link organization. As a Hardware Prototyping Specialist, you will serve as the operational backbone of our hardware prototyping operations, driving end-to-end program execution across vendor management, supply chain coordination, inventory oversight, SAP/ERP integration, quality coordination, and cross-functional program management. You will interface directly with engineering, sourcing, planning, and operations teams to ensure hardware is available, documented, and delivered on schedule to support Leo's satellite development program. This role requires a proactive, detail-oriented professional who thrives in a fast-paced research and development environment and is comfortable owning multiple functional domains simultaneously. The Hardware Prototyping Specialist is a critical force multiplier for our engineering organization — enabling engineers to focus on design and development while operational coordination, logistics, and procurement activities are managed seamlessly.
