Orbital Security Systems Engineer — Marginis Program

Integrate station-safe weapons, access control and security technology for pressurized orbital environments.

The role

Build systems that have to work.

Argent’s Marginis support program adapts terrestrial security systems to environments where overpenetration, debris and infrastructure damage can be more dangerous than the original threat. The role supports non-penetrative lethal systems, secure storage, sensing and station-specific operating constraints.

What you’ll do

  • Integrate security hardware for pressure-sensitive orbital infrastructure.
  • Model impact, ricochet and structural-risk behavior for station-safe munitions.
  • Develop interface requirements for access control, sensors and emergency response systems.
  • Support joint reviews with station operators and international program stakeholders.
  • Participate in acceptance testing and rotational travel to launch/integration facilities.

Minimum qualifications

  • B.S. in systems, aerospace, mechanical or electrical engineering.
  • 7+ years in complex safety-critical integration, spaceflight systems or defense security technology.
  • Experience writing interface-control documents and verification plans.

Preferred qualifications

  • Human spaceflight, orbital-station or pressure-vessel experience.
  • Weapons-effects or terminal-ballistics modeling.
  • International program or export-controlled integration experience.

Mission environment

The role is Houston-based with travel to integration sites. Offworld travel is not required for this posting.

Compensation & benefits

The estimated U.S. base salary range for this position is $226,000–$307,000. Actual compensation depends on experience, location, role scope and applicable differentials.
