Top Tech Jobs & Startup Jobs

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.

Lead architecture and development of high-reliability embedded flight software for a hypersonic reentry vehicle. Integrate multi-rate GNC algorithms, define hardware-software boundaries, drive board bring-up and low-level debugging, build SIL/HIL test suites, establish embedded C++ standards, and mentor senior engineers while collaborating on telemetry and hardware interfaces.

Develop and maintain ground control software, telemetry parsers, real-time operator displays, and backend systems for vehicle testing and missions. Build telemetry pipelines, serialization/protocol definitions, time-series storage, HIL/SIL automation, and ground station interfaces. Provide real-time software support during integrated vehicle tests.

Design, implement, and verify safety-critical real-time flight software for a hypersonic reentry vehicle. Own state machines, autonomy, and FDIR logic; integrate GNC modules; perform low-level driver and board bring-up; develop SIL/HIL test suites; participate in code reviews and mentor junior engineers; collaborate with systems and avionics on ICDs, telemetry, and communications.

Develop, test, and verify vehicle-level autonomy, flight sequencing, and fault-management logic. Implement state machines and mission routines, run SIL/HIL simulations, write unit/integration tests, analyze telemetry, and document autonomy logic while collaborating with systems, GNC, and avionics teams.

The Senior Software Engineer will develop ground software systems for space vehicles, manage command and control operations, and mentor team members.
