Jobs at Inversion Space

Design, develop, integrate, and verify flight and ground RF/telemetry hardware for reentry vehicles. Own RF architectures, component selection, antenna integration, link budgets, lab and vehicle-level testing, and regulatory documentation. Collaborate across avionics, GNC, power, mechanical teams to ensure performance and mission readiness.

Lead design, implementation, integration, and verification of FPGA-based architectures for RF, communications, telemetry, and real-time signal processing. Translate algorithms into RTL, manage FPGA toolflow (simulation, synthesis, P&R, timing closure), optimize for latency/throughput/power, develop reusable IP and verification infrastructure, support board bring-up, hardware debug, and cross-discipline system integration for flight and ground avionics.

Lead antenna design, simulation, integration, and validation for reentry vehicles. Capture requirements, run EM simulations, prototype and measure antenna performance, evaluate installed effects, and coordinate across RF, electrical, mechanical, thermal, software, and systems teams to achieve mission-ready communication solutions.

The Senior Executive Assistant will support the CTO and executive leadership, manage schedules, coordinate meetings and travel, and handle confidential information while driving operational efficiency.

Lead the development of mission products and payload integration, overseeing product roadmap, customer engagement, and managing a multidisciplinary engineering team to ensure successful integration of payloads into aerospace vehicles.

Lead development and validation of real-time DSP algorithms for communications, telemetry, sensing, and RF applications across flight and ground systems. Design, simulate, and optimize waveform generation, detection, demodulation, tracking, and estimation algorithms. Translate algorithms to FPGA, GPU, and embedded platforms, support integration and testing, and document results. Collaborate with RF, FPGA, software, and systems engineers throughout lifecycle from concept to deployed hardware.

Develop and execute RF test plans for flight and ground telemetry systems. Perform component-to-system RF measurements, lab setup, integration support, data collection and analysis, automation of tests (Python/MATLAB/LabVIEW), and collaborate with RF, antenna, DSP, FPGA, software, and electrical teams for mission readiness.

Design, integrate, and verify mixed-signal, embedded, and RF-adjacent electrical hardware for maneuverable reentry vehicles. Own schematic capture, PCB development, SDR integration, FPGA/processor/sensor interfaces, power/grounding/EMI mitigation, bench bring-up, test, and documentation across multidisciplinary teams from concept through production.

The Test Engineer II will lead and coordinate flight tests for re-entry vehicles, developing test equipment and procedures, ensuring safety and logistics.

Build the People function from scratch: run onboarding/offboarding, benefits administration, employee relations and investigations, California and federal contractor compliance, performance management, engagement programs, HRIS (Gusto) administration, headcount reporting, and partner with leadership. Start as an individual contributor and grow into a manager within 12–24 months.

Lead design and development of vacuum chamber and heat exchanger cooling systems for a high-energy hypersonic plasma testbed. Perform transient 3D conjugate heat transfer and thermal/fluid analyses, produce CAD models and drawings, support prototyping and integration, and collaborate with vehicle, manufacturing, test, and vendor teams to deliver test hardware.

Build and own internal web applications and tooling across the stack to support engineering workflows. Design UIs, backend services, APIs, integrations, and AI-enabled workflows. Collaborate with technical stakeholders to define problems, implement solutions, establish best practices, and maintain long-term quality and reliability of internal software.

Define and build internal AI tooling strategy: prototype, deploy, and maintain LLM-powered systems and agents for information retrieval, document analysis, workflow automation, and developer assistance. Drive end-to-end lifecycle, evaluation, observability, and best practices across the company as the first AI-focused engineer on the Internal Software Tools team.

Build and maintain internal full-stack web applications and tooling for engineering workflows. Design frontend interfaces, backend services/APIs, integrations, testing, deployment, and long-term maintenance. Partner with technical stakeholders to define requirements and improve internal tooling, including AI-enabled workflows, while following best practices for code quality and CI/CD.

Design, package, and iterate flight and prototype hardware for hypersonic reentry vehicles. Develop mechanisms (parachute deployment, actuation), support aerial drop test campaigns, qualify designs via environmental testing, perform hands-on integration and fit checks, and collaborate with manufacturing, suppliers, and cross-functional teams to move concepts into fabricated, flight-capable hardware.

The Senior Mechanical Engineer will design and develop mechanical systems for accurate landing of spacecraft, leading projects from concept to integration while collaborating with cross-functional teams and ensuring manufacturability.

Design, integrate, and verify flight and ground RF/telemetry systems for reentry vehicles. Perform link budgets, antenna radiation modeling, component selection, lab and vehicle-level RF testing, ground station setup, regulatory support, and environmental qualification across reentry conditions.

Develop, automate, and maintain spacecraft simulation and test environments (SIL/HIL). Integrate GNC, aerodynamics, and sensor models; build data pipelines, visualization, automated tests, and maintain HPC and testbed infrastructure to verify flight software and hardware.

Lead system-level design and integration for a hypersonic reentry vehicle. Drive cross-subsystem trade studies, manage interface control documents, own requirements flow-down and verification, maintain mass/volume budgets, and lead root-cause investigations during integration and testing.

Manage and lead the Arc Vehicle Software team to deliver flight and ground control software. Own software release cycles, integrate GNC/autonomy into flight software, design vehicle state machines, fault protection, and telemetry. Oversee SIL/HIL testing, test automation, real-time debugging, and rapid issue resolution during assembly, environmental test, and flight operations.
