About this role
Wanna join the adventure?
Customer Delivery Engineers (CDEs) own the end-to-end deployment and execution of customer satellite missions at Loft. We serve as the primary technical interface to our customers and translate mission objectives into operational reality, from early requirements and ConOps development through commissioning, on-orbit operations, and continuous improvement.
CDEs operate real spacecraft and work directly with customers to build mission applications on top of Loft’s API and operational infrastructure. You will translate mission objectives into executable workflows, configurations, and tooling that ensure reliable, scalable on-orbit execution. You will sit at the intersection of satellite operations, customer engineering, software development, systems engineering, and program execution, delivering meaningful outcomes for every mission you support.
About this role:
- Design electrical harnesses for spacecraft, payloads, and test systems.
- Translate schematics, ICDs, pinouts, and electrical interfaces into harness designs.
- Create harness schematics and 3D harness assemblies using Creo.
- Develop manufacturing drawings, bills of material, and harness documentation.
- Support harness fabrication, inspection, integration, testing, and troubleshooting.
- Contribute to harness libraries, design standards, and continuous improvement.
Must haves:
- Bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering, aerospace engineering, or a related field
- Strong foundation in electrical engineering, circuits, electronics, and electrical interfaces.
- Ability to read electrical schematics, wiring diagrams, pinouts, and interface documentation.
- Strong attention to detail and interest in precise, hands-on engineering work.
- Ability to learn new engineering tools and collaborate across electrical, mechanical, manufacturing, and test teams.
- Strong problem-solving, communication, and organizational skills.
Nice to haves:
- Experience with Creo, SolidWorks, CATIA , or another 3D CAD system.
- Experience with electrical schematics, wiring diagrams, block diagrams, or connectivity data.
- Familiarity with connectors, wires, cables, shielding, grounding, strain relief, or EMI / EMC .
- Hands-on experience with electronics, PCBs, soldering, crimping, electrical test equipment, or hardware integration.
- Coursework or project experience in embedded systems, RF , signal integrity, power electronics, or high-speed digital design.
Some of our awesome benefits:
- Equity, we want you to have an active role in our success
- Up to 35 days of Paid Time Off (vacations & RTT ) and flexible working hours, we want you to be at your best
- Health and life insurance, we care about your health
- Lunch Vouchers, because let’s be honest, we love food! (we even have a slack channel about it #loft-gourmand (https://loftorbital.slack.com/archives/C02G64537DF))
- Cross-office travel opportunities between San Francisco, Colorado, and Toulouse to learn from our differences
- Company and team off-sites and many other events to work & celebrate together
- Relocation assistance to Toulouse when applicable
*Research shows that while men apply to jobs where they meet an average of 60% of the criteria, women and other underrepresented people tend to only apply when they meet 100% of the qualifications. At Loft, we value respectful debate and people who aren’t afraid to challenge assumptions. We strongly encourage you to apply, even if you don’t check all the boxes.
Who We Are
Loft: Space Made Simple.
Founded in 2017, Loft provides governments, companies, and research institutions with a fast, reliable, and simple way to deploy missions in orbit.
We integrate, launch, and operate spacecraft, offering end-to-end missions as a service across Earth observation, IoT connectivity, on-orbit AI, national security missions, and more. Leveraging our existing space infrastructure and an extensive inventory of satellite buses, Loft is reducing years-long integration and launch timelines to months. With more than 30 missions flown, Loft’s flight heritage and proven technologies enable customers to focus on their mission objectives.
With a growing fleet on track to reach 30 satellites by 2027, we are scaling up quickly across our offices in San Francisco, CA | Golden, CO | and Toulouse, France to meet accelerating demand for space infrastructure.
