Lead Systems Engineer Lanham, Maryland, United States AST SpaceMobile is building the first and only global cellular broadband network in space to operate directly with standard, unmodified mobile devices based on our extensive IP and patent portfolio and designed for both commercial and government applications. Our engineers and space scientists are on a mission to eliminate the connectivity gaps faced by today's five billion mobile subscribers and finally bring broadband to the billions who remain unconnected. Position Overview We are seeking a Mid-Level Systems Engineer to join our growing team in Lanham, MD.

The ideal candidate brings demonstrated SE lead experience from prior programs and thrives in a fast-paced, mission-driven environment where no two days look the same. Key Responsibilities: - Serve as Systems Engineer Lead on assigned programs, owning technical direction from requirements definition through verification and validation - Develop, maintain, and track technical budgets (mass, power, link, schedule) across multiple subsystems - Lead the development of new mission concepts and system architectures in response to customer or internal needs - Translate high-level requirements into actionable subsystem and interface specifications - Coordinate across engineering disciplines (RF, software, mechanical, electrical) to drive system-level integration and resolve cross-cutting issues - Support proposal and business development efforts, including technical writing, basis-of-estimate development, and cost/schedule inputs
