Top Tech Jobs & Startup Jobs

Leads the embedded software, FPGA, and simulation engineering team developing spacecraft RF communication and GPS/GNSS receiver systems. Owns architecture, integration, verification, qualification, and delivery across space missions. Establishes flight-critical development and testing practices, partners on hardware bring-up, manages technical roadmaps and staffing, recruits engineers, resolves risks, and supports spacecraft integration, launch, commissioning, and mission operations.

Own the cradle-to-grave design, analysis, fabrication, testing, documentation, and integration of pressurized and unpressurized aerospace structures for advanced propulsion space vehicles. Define systems and requirements, establish load cases, support qualification campaigns and production ramp-up, and collaborate with propulsion, avionics, GNC, manufacturing, test, thermal, and loads teams. Apply structural analysis, materials knowledge, design-for-manufacturing, reliability improvements, and verification methods to deliver flightworthy hardware.

Develop and sustain manufacturing processes, work instructions, MBOMs and tooling for spacecraft mechanical subassemblies. Support assembly, test, root-cause analysis, ECOs, production readiness, design reviews, and cross-functional coordination to meet flight-quality standards and schedules.

Design, build, deploy, and support standardized electrical test hardware, including DAQ systems, controls, instrumentation, power distribution, test carts, and interface assemblies. Create schematics, wiring diagrams, bills of materials, and assembly documentation. Manage hardware through procurement, fabrication, integration, commissioning, deployment, and maintenance. Collaborate with software automation, IT, and test operations teams to configure assets, troubleshoot electrical and software interfaces, and support test-site bring-up.

Develops and optimizes manufacturing and metrology processes for high-precision opto-mechanical assemblies, including spaceflight cameras, star trackers, and sun sensors. Designs optical alignment tooling, supports assembly integration and testing, improves production yields, resolves floor issues, and updates work instructions. Partners with optical design and cross-functional teams on manufacturability, quality, reliability, environmental testing, and functional performance. Provides technical guidance to opto-mechanical technicians and owns optical, vibration, thermal, and other production testing.

Design, implement, integrate, and verify real-time flight software for guidance, navigation, control, telemetry, mission sequencing, autonomy, and fault management. Develop deterministic, safety-critical embedded code, support testing, integration, launches, and on-orbit operations.

Lead and mentor a team of PCBA manufacturing engineers, own PCBA manufacturing across products, set up and run SMT lines, develop work instructions and ATP testing, collaborate with design for manufacturability, and optimize production rate, yield, cost, and timely delivery while ensuring high reliability for space applications.

Manages spacecraft actuator engineering across design, analysis, testing, production ramp, flight operations, sustainment, and improvement. Leads responsible engineers, defines actuator product roadmaps, develops engineering processes, executes test campaigns, and coordinates with engineering, manufacturing, operations, leadership, and business development. The role also includes individual technical ownership of actuator development through design, integration, testing, and flight operations.

Lead build reliability for machined spacecraft hardware by preventing and diagnosing defects, developing inspection criteria, guiding design-for-reliability, performing development testing, optimizing ERP/MRP traceability, training technicians, and driving corrective actions to ensure hardware and mission reliability.

Lead technical execution and integration for large, multi-mission space programs from kickoff through delivery. Manage customer interfaces, negotiate with launch providers, translate requirements into SOWs, drive mission assurance and readiness reviews, resolve technical anomalies, and build scalable processes and documentation. Occasionally travel (<20%).
