Top Engineering Jobs

The Mechanical Engineer will design, test, and qualify spacecraft components, owning the hardware lifecycle from concept through testing and analysis.

Design, develop, and test flight and ground software for orbital return vehicles; integrate with avionics and GN&C; build tools and infrastructure for testing, telemetry, and data analysis; debug issues during integration, testing, and flight operations; collaborate cross-functionally and support flight readiness and mission operations.

Design and test electronic systems for spacecraft, including PCBAs and electrical harnesses, while collaborating with multidisciplinary engineers.

The Senior Mechanical Engineer will lead the design and analysis of structural components for spacecraft, handle high-fidelity analysis, create manufacturing drawings, oversee testing campaigns, and mentor junior engineers.

Outpost is hiring for various engineering roles focused on building spacecraft for returning payloads from orbit. The company seeks driven individuals for a rapid development environment and encourages general applications for future roles.

Lead AI&T for spacecraft return vehicles: own integration and test strategy, lead engineers and technicians, develop and execute environmental and functional test campaigns, drive anomaly resolution, coordinate cross-discipline issues, maintain test documentation, and support flight readiness.

Lead and scale Outpost's full software function, owning strategy, architecture, and execution across flight software, ground systems, and infrastructure. Build a high-performing engineering organization, establish best practices and release processes, partner with avionics and GN&C, and report metrics to executive leadership to ensure reliable system delivery.

The VP of Engineering, Vehicle leads the engineering team responsible for the development and operational readiness of space vehicles. Key duties include overseeing technical performance, budget management, and engineering leadership while ensuring the successful execution of vehicle programs, from design to production.

Lead end-to-end design, implementation, and flight test of guidance, navigation, and control (GNC) systems for reusable return vehicles. Tasks include algorithm development (EKF/UKF, LQR, optimal control), flight software in C++/Python, hardware integration, HIL and drop/flight testing, sensor fusion, trajectory and entry guidance, and ADCS requirements and performance specification.

Design, implement, and test end-to-end guidance, navigation, and control systems for return-from-orbit vehicles. Develop estimation (EKF/UKF) and control algorithms, build high-fidelity 6-DOF simulations, specify hardware, integrate flight software, support HIL and flight test campaigns, and iterate designs from flight data to achieve precise, robust entry and landing performance.
