Location: Moriarty, NM
Reports to: Chief of Mission Operations
Sceye is a high-growth technology company, building the next generation of instant communications, imaging and remote sensing infrastructure through stratospheric platforms. Our lighter-than-air high-altitude platform systems (LTA HAPS) are capable of maintaining position over an operational area in the stratosphere (altitudes of 18 – 21km). They can carry multiple telecommunications, imaging and remote sensing payloads, providing unique functionality, cost, environmental and societal advantages.
Our HAPS be deployed in a matter of days and at a fraction of the cost of traditional infrastructure solutions. This makes them an ideal solution for providing telecommunications connectivity, emergency solutions in the event of natural or other disasters, environmental and infrastructure monitoring, Earth observation and a range of defense applications.
Our customers & partners include some of the largest global telecommunications companies, infrastructure operators, climate researchers, civil and defense agencies. At Sceye, we aim high, and we want you to join us at the stratospheric edge of innovation. As part of our mission-driven team, you’ll contribute to building breakthrough technologies that are changing the way we connect and observe the world. We are looking for individuals who bring not only deep expertise but also bold vision and an unwavering commitment to excellence.
Sceye is currently seeking a full-time Flight Test Engineer to join the Mission Operations Team. As Sceye expands, more test engineers are needed to perform Acceptance Testing of Sceye’s High Altitude Platform Systems (HAPS) at the same time as actually flying HAPS that are already airborne. You will be responsible for overseeing the planning, execution, and data delivery of ground testing prior to flight tests as well as helping with the planning and safe execution of flight tests themselves.
You will be expected to work across multiple teams as a cross-functional member of Sceye and be able to help identify hardware, software, and operational/procedural issues as they arise, as well as test and report on fixes to said issues. Additionally, you will be expected to help with mission planning and data analysis after flight tests/missions. You will be in a fast-paced environment, ensuring our systems meet the highest standards of performance, safety, and reliability. Salary will be commensurate with education and experience.
