Jobs at Longshot Space Technologies

Supports the design, manufacture, integration, testing, assembly, and troubleshooting of mechanical, electrical, fluid, and aerospace hardware for kinetic launch systems. The role involves high-pressure gas systems, thermal protection, structures, embedded firmware support, data acquisition documentation, and cross-functional system integration in laboratory and field environments.

Design, manufacture, test, integrate, and troubleshoot mechanical hardware for accelerator and vehicle platforms. Work with high-pressure gas and fluid systems, thermal protection, and structures in laboratory and field environments. Document designs, test procedures, and results; evaluate subsystem reliability; investigate failures; and support integration with electrical, fluids, software, and aerospace teams.

Lead systems engineering for defense pursuits, translating launch-platform capabilities into customer solutions. Responsibilities include capture engineering, trade studies, requirements and architecture development, interface definition, verification planning, technical proposal and design-review documentation, CDRL development, and briefings to government stakeholders. The role requires close partnership with business development, program management, manufacturing, and core engineering teams, with approximately 25% travel to test sites and government facilities.

Mechanical/Aerospace Engineering Intern supporting hypersonic test article design, fabrication, structural and aerodynamic analysis, testing, hardware preparation, data collection, and prototype assembly. The role uses SolidWorks for CAD development and involves hands-on work with tools, shop equipment, and gas gun testbed components.

Assist with high-voltage power supply design, PCB layout, microsecond telemetry synchronization, power electronics, precision timing, experimental setups, and electrical and mechanical system testing. The intern will use KiCad, work with serial-to-Ethernet protocols, validate hardware, and support hypersonic test platform development.

Supports business operations through funding research, grant proposal writing, payroll data analysis, benefits administration, policy development, financial planning, and strategic planning. The internship provides exposure to finance, operations, policy, and business strategy in a dynamic aerospace and technology startup environment.

Design, test, integrate, and troubleshoot electronic systems for a kinetic launch vehicle. Responsibilities include schematic capture, PCB layout, component selection, embedded firmware debugging, electrical architecture ownership, hardware qualification, technical documentation, and integration with mechanical, fluid, aerospace, and software systems.
