At Agile, we design, build, and test in-space propulsion systems that give spacecraft the ability to maneuver with precision, reliability, and purpose. Our technologies play a critical role in missions that range from lunar landings and resource utilization to national defense, human exploration, and commercial space transport.

Agile is seeking an experienced Systems Engineer to provide end-to-end systems engineering leadership across tank and pressure vessel development programs. This role is responsible for driving a clear, executable thread from customer requirements through system requirements, design, manufacturing, verification, qualification, and delivery.
The ideal candidate brings strong system-level thinking and deep technical experience in pressure vessels, propulsion systems, or related aerospace hardware. This role works directly with the customer and internal teams to translate requirements into an executable system and ensure the system is designed, built, and tested to meet those objectives.
This position is accountable for maintaining technical coherence across disciplines and driving system-level decisions throughout the program lifecycle. The role requires leadership in requirements definition and flowdown, manufacturing integration, materials and process considerations, risk management, and verification and validation planning and execution. The candidate is responsible for working with the customer to drive agreement on requirements.
Agile operates in a fast-paced development environment. This role is expected to take ownership, drive decisions, and ensure alignment across teams, customers, and suppliers to deliver a working, testable system.
