Jobs at Umbra Space

The Hardware Test Infrastructure Engineer will set up, maintain, and integrate hardware for test environments, collaborating with engineers to ensure system reliability and documentation.

Develop, design, and implement embedded flight and payload software in Rust/C/C++ for spacecraft. Specify requirements, create robust architecture, integrate and test with hardware, lead CI/CD/version control processes, perform unit and system testing, document interfaces, and mentor peers.

Lead and grow the Mission Solutions systems engineering team to architect, design, build, test, and operate satellite and space mission systems across the program lifecycle. Manage staffing, performance, proposals, resource estimates, and cross-functional alignment while ensuring technical quality, process improvements, and security compliance.

The Senior Ground Software Engineer will develop secure ground software systems for satellite operations, focusing on mission scheduling and data processing, collaborating with cross-functional teams.

Lead development and sustainment of spacecraft and payload production lines. Create and document manufacturing procedures, plan prototype builds, train production staff, translate designs into build plans, resolve manufacturing discrepancies, perform root cause analysis, and support product introductions and continuous process improvements for high-reliability space hardware.

Lead design, analysis, build, and test of spacecraft mechanisms and pointing systems. Own architecture, component selection, motorization and pointing budgets, ICDs, qualification campaigns, and verification testing. Mentor engineers, collaborate with cross-functional teams, troubleshoot hardware issues, and support launch/test activities to ensure flight-proven, manufacturable designs.

Design, build, and maintain reliable, scalable backend services and APIs that support satellite mission planning, scheduling, command/control, and communications. Own production services, improve resiliency, participate in on-call rotations, and collaborate with cross-functional teams to deliver and operate autonomous satellite operations software with strong observability, testing, and CI/CD practices.

Manage end-to-end proposal development for government and commercial solicitations: coordinate schedules, ensure compliance with solicitations and federal acquisition rules, collect and review content with cross-functional teams, maintain proposal repositories, track metrics, support post-submission activities, and improve proposal processes and tools to scale with company growth.

The Spacecraft Mechanical Engineer will design, build, and test spacecraft hardware, supporting mission solutions by collaborating with cross-functional teams, developing prototypes, and creating design documentation for innovative spacecraft products.

Lead development and execution of defensive cyber operations, continuous monitoring, threat hunting, detection engineering, incident response, and root-cause analysis. Analyze threats, vulnerabilities, and risks; coordinate with engineers and stakeholders to improve security posture; maintain documentation and present findings to leadership.

Lead and manage a multi-disciplinary Space Systems engineering team responsible for spacecraft design, test, implementation and delivery. Oversee personnel management, scheduling, technical quality, hiring, career development, and cross-functional coordination. Apply traditional and Agile practices to drive program execution, process improvements, and stakeholder reporting for mission-ready satellite systems.

The Embedded Systems Engineer will develop firmware for satellite systems, focusing on embedded development, hardware integration, and system validation, working in a cross-functional environment.

The Defense Director is responsible for integrating space-based capabilities into U.S. defense strategies, managing a team, and growing the business through effective communication and collaboration with government customers.
