Please review the job details below.At Maxar Space, our products are vast: from our World View Legion (WVL) platform for earth observation, to the Power and Propulsion Element (PPE) supporting NASA's Artemis Program return to the Moon, to our highly reliable 1300/Legion class platform for communications applications.

We are now also designing the next generation of earth imaging satellites and proliferated LEO constellations. Maxar is currently seeking an experienced Software Systems Engineer to be an agile product owner for Maxar's pLEO Augustus program. Expertise is required in software design, and software Agile development processes.

As a Software Systems Engineering Product Owner role, you will apply your systems engineering and agile expertise to a complex pLEO program to ensure software is developed in compliance with program requirements and consistent with the intended mission CONOPS. You will lead the agile engineering team by decomposing requirements to software elements and developing use cases that describe the behavioral model of the software architecture as well as guide verification activities for the flight software. Your product owner role requires prioritizing the work effort of the Agile team, overseeing implementation, driving verification plans and approving test results.

As the Software Systems Product Owner, your role includes coordination and collaboration with customers, other stakeholders, and engineering functions to ensure alignment with contractually required product deliveries and documentation. We are currently seeking candidates with broad systems engineering background in satellite missions, requirements decomposition, verification, and a strong foundation in software engineering. This role will ideally be performed in our Palo Alto, CA or our Westminster Colorado facility; remote workers will also be considered.
