At Kepler Communications, we're not just imagining the future of on-demand space connectivity - we're leading it!

Our mission is to provide real-time on-orbit connectivity for critical missions, enabling a new era of data-driven intelligence and innovation. With 33 satellites launched to date, Kepler operates the first commercial optical data relay constellation, enabling real-time, continuous space communications while supporting advanced on-orbit compute and hosted payload capabilities.

Industry-leading technology is only part of the story. What sets Kepler apart is our team: bold thinkers, skilled builders, and passionate problem-solvers who thrive on pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in space. We believe great ideas come from diverse perspectives, and we’re committed to creating an environment where you can grow, lead, and make a global impact.

If you’re ready to reach higher, move faster, and do work that shapes the future space economy - this is your launchpad. Come build the future with Kepler!

What We Offer:

* Competitive compensation with a robust equity plan to share in our success.

* Comprehensive coverage for health, dental, and vision insurance - including dependents.

* Unlimited vacation, supportive parental leave policy, and company-wide holiday shutdown.

* Relocation packages available for approved roles.

* $1,500 annual professional development fund to support your growth.

* Fully stocked Toronto office kitchen with snacks, drinks, games and top-notch kitchen appliances.

* Town Halls, Celebration Calls, and Company-wide events to stay connected and engaged.

* We’re a certified Great Place to Work®, seven years in a row!

As the Program Chief Engineer, you are the senior technical authority for the spacecraft program and the single point of technical accountability for mission success. Reporting directly to the Senior Director of Satellite Systems, you provide technical leadership across all engineering disciplines to ensure the spacecraft is designed, built, verified, and operated as an integrated system. You establish the technical direction, drive engineering execution, make timely decisions, conduct rigorous technical reviews, and communicate effectively with engineering teams, executive leadership, customers, and suppliers.

The Chief Engineer is accountable for the overall technical success of the mission. You are responsible for maintaining technical integrity, driving engineering progress, ensuring design maturity, balancing performance, reliability, cost, schedule, manufacturability, and mission risk, and delivering flight-ready spacecraft that enable successful mission execution.

Key Responsibilities:

Please note: Though this role provides a Hybrid flexibility, it will require an on-site work presence at Kepler's Toronto HQ

Technical Leadership:

Lead design reviews, anomaly reviews, and readiness reviews

Decision Making:

Make timely, evidence-based technical decisions
Balance performance, cost, schedule, manufacturability, reliability, and mission risk
Remove technical barriers or blockers to maintain engineering momentum

Communication & Alignment:

Communicate technical direction clearly and consistently across the engineering organization
Translate complex technical issues into concise recommendations for executive leadership
Represent Engineering during customer reviews, supplier meetings, executive briefings, and governance boards
Ensure decisions, assumptions, risks, and actions are clearly documented and communicated
Build alignment across Engineering, Program Management, Product Assurance, Manufacturing, Operations, and executive leadership

Engineering Excellence:

Mentor senior engineers and future technical leaders
Continuously raise the standard of technical rigor, engineering reviews, and engineering excellence
Drive continuous improvement, platform standardization, and lessons learned

Required Skills & Qualifications:

Bachelor's or Master's degree in a relevant engineering discipline
15+ years of experience developing complex spacecraft or aerospace systems
Experience serving as the technical authority or senior technical leader for at least one spacecraft development program
Extensive knowledge of spacecraft architecture, integration, verification, manufacturing, qualification, launch, and mission operations
Exceptional technical judgment, communication, stakeholder management, and leadership skills

Bonus Points:

Chief Engineer, Deputy Chief Engineer, or equivalent technical leadership experience
Constellation or multi-spacecraft program experience
Experience across multiple spacecraft disciplines
Mission assurance, Integration and test campaign, launch campaign, and on-orbit operations experience
Experience driving engineering standardization and AI-enabled engineering workflows
