Catalyx Space is developing next-generation entry systems for space. As a Systems Engineer, you will own the definition, integration, and validation of spacecraft and reentry systems across all engineering domains. You will work hands-on with propulsion, aerodynamics, thermal, mechanisms, structures, and avionics engineers to ensure the vehicle operates as a coherent system. Beyond coordination, you will apply solid engineering problem-solving skills, perform system-level analyses and trade-offs, and establish realistic timelines. You will also be responsible for CONOPS development, requirements management, and operational readiness, ensuring mission success from design through flight.

Responsibilities:
- Own Requirements definition, flow down, and tracking across all subsystems.
- Develop and maintain system budgets (mass, power, ΔV, volume, stiffness, thermal margins).
- Define system-level interfaces (mechanical, thermal, electrical, fluid).
- Lead integration trades and architecture decisions, ensuring subsystem compatibility.




- Perform trade-off analyses to balance competing requirements across subsystems.
- Perform system-level analyses to validate architecture choices against mission requirements.
- Define and maintain CONOPS (Concept of Operations), aligning system design with mission objectives and operational constraints.
- Establish and maintain system-level timelines with awareness of technical risks and bottlenecks.
- Participate directly in design reviews (Preliminary, Critical, and Test Readiness).
- Define and own the system verification & validation (V&V;) plan, ensuring test campaigns close requirements.
- Drive configuration management and PLM discipline across teams.
- Conduct and document FMECA (Failure Modes, Effects, and Criticality Analysis) for system reliability.
- Interface with regulatory partners (DGCA/FAA or equivalent) for system compliance.
- Collaborate with operations and GNC/Flight Dynamics teams to ensure vehicle performance meet
