The Problem

Small satellite primes and payload startups must make tightly coupled decisions about orbit, antennas, waveforms, signal processing, electronics, cryptography, and spacecraft constraints before substantial hardware spending begins. They often lack enough senior radar systems expertise to run these trades, document the architecture, and defend it during customer capture without making a difficult executive-level hire.

Potential Solution

Provide a four-to-six-week payload architecture engagement covering mission trades, candidate topology comparison, performance modeling, component boundaries, spacecraft impacts, development risks, and verification planning. Deliver an architecture package, decision record, preliminary bill of materials, prototype roadmap, and proposal-ready technical narrative. Follow-on engagements can support supplier selection, prototype reviews, integration planning, and independent design assurance.

Why Now?

The sampled hiring activity shows multiple concurrent attempts to secure scarce engineers who can span early mission analysis through flight development. As more organizations pursue space-based radar missions, access to senior architecture capability can become a gating factor well before a full payload team is justified.
