We are looking for a senior systems engineer with proven experience leading the design and development of an interceptor missile. The systems engineer will take full responsibility for the interceptor missile from initial stages through deployment. A hands-on role in a young, growing company where deep engineering meets initiative, creativity, and a drive for performance.
Why Join Skapion?:
This is a unique opportunity to be at the heart of a defense-tech startup during its most exciting growth phase!
Responsibilities:

* Definition and design of the system architecture for an interceptor missile: sub-systems including the seeker, rocket engine, navigation and control systems, interface design, performance envelope definition, trials, and reliability tests.
* Setting system requirements, writing engineering specifications (ICD, SRR, etc.), and working with the various development teams.
* Leading system integration, conducting lab and field trials, and writing performance reports.
*  system -level risk management and supporting integration and production processes.
* Interfacing with internal and external customers, suppliers, and quality and safety stakeholders.
* Tracking and supporting the system throughout its lifecycle, including maintenance, updates, and support during operational deployment.

End-to-end ownership of the interceptor's seeker, the eyes of the missile. You'll lead it from initial requirements and architecture through detailed design, integration, qualification, and transfer to production. The seeker is one of the most performance-critical subsystems on the missile; this role calls for someone who can drive trade studies across sensors, signal processing, and integration constraints, and who is equally comfortable with a whiteboard, a lab bench, and a production line.

Responsibilities
Requirements & Architecture: Define seeker-level requirements derived from system-level needs (range, accuracy, environment, jam resistance, SWaP). Lead architecture trade studies across sensor modalities (RF / EO / IR / multi-mode), signal chain, and processing topology.
Design Ownership: Own the design of the seeker subsystem end-to-end, sensors, RF/optical front-end, signal processing, tracking algorithms, and onboard processing.
Integration: Manage interfaces with the rest of the missile, electronics, GNC, control, mechanical, and with the ground station for target handoff. Write and maintain the seeker ICD.
Lab & Field Testing: Plan and execute lab characterization, hardware-in-the-loop tests, and field/flight trials. Lead post-test data analysis and feed findings back into design iterations.
Production Transfer: Drive the seeker through qualification (MIL-STD environments) and into production, DFM/DFA, test plans (ATPs), supplier coordination, and acceptance criteria.
Cross-functional leadership: Work alongside the System Engineering, Software, Mechanical, and Electronics teams; technically authoritative on seeker matters.
