Jobs at Ursa Major

The Senior Embedded Software Engineer will design and maintain software for aerospace systems, debug hardware, and collaborate on software features in a reliable and high-performance environment.

Manage shop-floor material control and inventory accuracy by performing daily ERP transactions, cycle and physical counts, kit assembly, shipping/receiving, and routing deliveries. Escalate shortages and nonconformances, support ERP updates to manufacturing orders, and help drive process improvements while maintaining a clean workspace.

Operate and program CNC equipment (3- and 5-axis mills, mill-turns, live-tool lathes) using Hypermill/CAM to produce tight-tolerance aerospace parts. Own cradle-to-grave machining projects, support prototype/R&D and rework efforts, and assist with tooling, workholding, maintenance, and shop operations.

Lead development of guidance, navigation, and control (GNC) systems from concept to flight-ready software. Design and simulate algorithms, translate requirements into embedded implementations, support HIL and flight test, analyze test data, coordinate across vehicle design, avionics, structures and testing, and document results while mitigating technical risk.

Design, fabricate, and test prototype solid rocket motor hardware and manufacturing processes. Lead cross-functional communication, develop CAD models and drawings, create test plans, analyze test data, investigate failures, and manage schedules and documentation.

Lead architecture, integration, and lifecycle management of propulsion test infrastructure and controls for solid rocket motor programs. Own design and commissioning of fluid, electrical, controls, instrumentation, and DAQ systems; ensure safety, test readiness, data integrity, and repeatable static-fire campaigns. Provide cross-functional technical leadership, mentor engineers, perform root-cause analysis, and drive long-term facility and infrastructure roadmaps.

Lead technical owner for solid rocket motor product development and deployment. Direct multidisciplinary teams through design, analysis, testing, qualification, and production-readiness. Establish product architecture, drive trade studies, manage risk mitigation and test campaigns, oversee data reduction and correlation, and support customer technical exchanges to ensure performance, safety, and manufacturability.

The Systems Engineering Manager leads the In-Space Propulsion team, ensuring technical success and product delivery, while managing team dynamics and program development.

The Staff Design Engineer leads the design and analysis of solid rocket motors, focusing on innovative solutions, high-rate production, and cross-functional collaboration. This role requires expertise in additive manufacturing and aerospace engineering.

The Propulsion Engineer II design spacecraft propulsion systems, perform modifications, derive requirements, and support testing and integration of components, overseeing projects from concept to production.

The VP of Engineering will lead a team of engineers in the design and production of aerospace propulsion systems, balancing technical execution and strategic direction to ensure mission success.

Support manufacturing of solid rocket motors through mechanical design and improvement, project management, and cross-functional collaboration while ensuring quality and safety standards.

Perform high-fidelity CFD and 1D steady-state/transient fluid modeling for solid rocket motor systems. Support design, testing, and qualification by analyzing data, correlating models with tests, driving design improvements, participating in reviews and failure investigations, and mentoring peers while producing technical reports and documentation.

Lead and manage execution of Solid Rocket Motor (SRM) programs across the product lifecycle: scheduling, budgets, risk, customer engagement, contract deliverables, and program health reporting. Support proposal development, coordinate technical teams, and ensure on-time delivery while maintaining eligibility for Secret clearance.

The Chief Engineer, Vehicle is responsible for the technical authority and integration of vehicle systems, leading lifecycle management, and ensuring successful design and flight readiness. This role involves collaboration across multiple engineering disciplines and mentorship of team members.

As a Systems Engineer, you will support program leads, track requirement verification, develop analyses, and provide technical guidance in aerospace propulsion systems.

The Senior Loads & Dynamics Analyst will develop loads across various propulsion systems and mentor peers, conducting dynamic and structural analyses.

The Senior Manufacturing Controls Engineer will design, implement, and maintain automation tools for manufacturing processes, focusing on custom solutions, PLC programming, HMI development, and SCADA connectivity while collaborating with various engineering teams.

Design, analyze, and integrate propulsion and fluid-mechanical components from concept through test and production. Support rapid iteration, testing (ground and flight), failure investigations, DFM, and cross-functional coordination with manufacturing, analysis, customers, and partners.

Perform full-scale propellant mixing and milling, prepare development samples and prototype energetic articles, maintain and clean equipment, follow SOPs and safety procedures, identify process improvements, support production schedules (including shifts/overtime), handle hazardous chemicals, and obtain/maintain required respirator clearance, powered industrial vehicle license, and CDLE Type I explosives permit.
