Jobs at AstroForge

Develop, implement, and test guidance, navigation, and control algorithms for asteroid-mining spacecraft. Work with aerospace engineers on attitude determination and control, state estimation, perception, vehicle autonomy, and related robotics challenges. The role includes software testing and debugging, potentially in hardware-in-the-loop environments, while providing mentorship and practical aerospace software experience.

Assists the hardware engineering team with developing, designing, and testing computer and electrical hardware components. Responsibilities include hands-on laboratory work such as soldering, hardware debugging, and using electronic equipment, while developing skills in Python, Altium Designer, and LTSpice. The intern works under supervision in a fast-paced aerospace environment and receives engineering mentorship.

Assist the integration and test team in developing flight-ready aerospace products under supervision. Responsibilities include supporting spacecraft integration and testing, performing hardware debugging, soldering, operating electronic equipment, and applying Python, scripting, and automation skills. The intern will work with engineering and science teams in a fast-paced environment while gaining practical experience with spacecraft design, system interfaces, and aerospace project development.

Integrate spacecraft subsystems into flight-ready vehicles and develop, execute, and document component-, subsystem-, and system-level tests. Perform environmental and performance testing, troubleshoot anomalies, maintain test fixtures and ground support equipment, track verification results and corrective actions, and support pre-launch checkout, fueling, and launch-vehicle integration. The role requires detailed configuration and test-data documentation, hands-on work with flight hardware, and flexible hours during critical test and launch campaigns.

The Mechanical Engineer focuses on leading spacecraft mechanical design, managing CAD development, and ensuring quality through collaboration with various teams. Responsibilities include overseeing designs, applying engineering principles, creating documentation, and mentoring others.

As a CNC Machinist & Fabricator, you'll program and operate CNC machines to produce aerospace components, ensuring precision and quality in machining and fabrication processes.

Design and analyze spacecraft mechanisms, oversee their development from concept through testing, and collaborate with teams to ensure reliability and performance.

Develop and maintain embedded software for spacecraft systems, write hardware drivers, troubleshoot software issues, and collaborate with teams throughout the software lifecycle.
