Jobs at HyLight

Coordinate end-to-end recruiting operations for a fast-growing climate tech startup: schedule interviews, manage ATS and job postings, source candidates on LinkedIn, support hiring managers, track metrics, coordinate onboarding, and help employer branding and recruiting events during a 6-month contract.

Support the CBO in sourcing and qualifying high-potential customers, building prospect lists, conducting outreach (email/LinkedIn/phone), managing early-stage relationships, supporting pre-sales, researching market trends and competitors, collaborating with technical teams, and building scalable business development processes.

Lead GNC development for an autonomous airship: model dynamics, design and implement control and guidance laws, ensure robustness and safety, integrate and debug embedded flight hardware and sensors, define and run flight tests and simulations, document results, and improve future flight systems.

Support the Chief of Staff in executing company priorities across finance, operations, strategy and admin. Tasks include FP&A support, dashboards, process improvement, cross-functional project coordination, investor/customer presentations, research, event and travel organization, and high-priority special projects for CEO or CoS.

Support mechanical integration and testing of HyLight airships: assist conceptual CAD design, prototype and manufacture components, run mechanical and reliability tests (fatigue, vibration, HALT/HASS), perform root-cause analysis for field failures, and iterate designs from workshop to flight-ready assemblies.

Lead HyLight's operations to scale hydrogen airships from prototype to serial production. Own industrialization, supply chain, assembly, quality systems, certification readiness, operational processes, KPIs, recruiting, and cross-functional execution alongside the CEO.

Design and implement guidance, navigation, and control for autonomous airships: model dynamics, develop robust control laws, integrate and debug embedded hardware/software, run flight tests and simulations, document results, and improve future flight solutions.

Work on embedded flight and ground software for autonomous hydrogen airships: design software architecture, implement hardware abstraction layers, extend/integrate PX4 and QGroundControl, improve CI/CD and automated testing, debug avionics, and contribute to system-level studies and payload integration under CTO guidance.

Internship focused on Guidance, Navigation, and Control (GNC) for an autonomous airship. Responsibilities include modeling airship dynamics, designing control and guidance laws, developing robustness and safety strategies, integrating and debugging embedded hardware, conducting flight tests and simulations, documenting results, and improving current and future flight systems.
