Director of Mission Engineering

At Turion Space, understanding the mission space is what turns advanced technology into operational capability. As the Director of Mission Engineering, you'll lead the modeling and simulation efforts that frame how our systems perform against real mission needs, building mission-specific Design Reference Missions (DRMs), running the system trades that shape our architectures, and demonstrating how Turion's solutions deliver in the contexts that matter to our customers. This is a highly cross-functional leadership role. You'll work hand-in-hand with engineering functional teams and business development to translate mission needs into rigorous analysis, inform both material and non-material solution architectures, and ensure our technical direction is grounded in a clear-eyed understanding of the mission. Your work will directly shape what Turion builds and how we prove its value. This position is onsite at our Irvine, California headquarters. Job Responsibilities - Lead the mission
