About EOI Space

EOI Space is building a next-generation satellite constellation in Very Low Earth Orbit (VLEO) to deliver the highest-resolution Earth imagery available from space. Flying lower than traditional satellites lets us capture sharper, more timely data, giving commercial and defense customers a clearer picture of a rapidly changing world, faster than ever before.

Based in Lafayette, Colorado, we’re a small, mission-driven team moving fast to bring this capability to market. As we scale toward Series B and beyond, we’re looking for people who want real ownership over their function and see the undefined parts of this stage as the opportunity, not the obstacle.

We are on our way to achieving many industry firsts. This demands an ambitious team that revels in leaning into challenges, getting hands on, and working together. Does this sound like you? EOI Space is looking for a Senior Spacecraft Integration Engineer to create and drive manufacturing of EOI spacecraft and components. This person will work with the AI&T leadership to create efficient and repeatable processes to assemble all aspects of the spacecraft and its components in alignment with EOI’s mission objectives.

The Spacecraft Integration Engineer is responsible for the assembly and integration of complex spacecraft systems. This role will help define processes, tooling, and documentation standards for spacecraft manufacturing, assembly, and integration, as well as complete day-to-day execution of integration activities, to meet program milestones.

This role requires an individual with a strong technical background and a willingness to learn, as the responsibilities bridge across many engineering disciplines. Additionally, the person in this role should have strong interpersonal skills in coordinating with people, both internally and externally (e.g., fabrication vendors, test houses, etc.). The person in this role must be organized so as to progress multiple manufacturing efforts simultaneously and ensure their timely completion. This role reports to the SEIT Team Lead.

This is a full-time, exempt, in-office position based in Lafayette, Colorado.

Prepare and deploy GSE/STE hardware to ensure the success and reliability of the spacecraft and its subsystems.
Own GSE sell-off to launch providers and range safety by generating compliance packages against SSCMAN 91-710 and supporting customer/range design reviews.
Support AI&T/ATLO environmental and functional test campaigns in accordance with GEVS, SMC-S-016, and program-tailored test standards.
Enforce AI&T procedures, documentation standards, and data handling policies across the organization.
Ensure compliance with aerospace industry standards and internal quality requirements.
Work with subsystem REs, program management, and mission assurance to align manufacturing activities with overall mission objectives.
Serve as a voice in program reviews, risk assessments, and anomaly resolution.
Effectively prioritize tasks by coordinating with AI&T Leadership to adhere to the overall program schedule.
Verify that purchased equipment meets specs/requirements upon delivery from vendors.
