Top Tech Jobs & Startup Jobs

Design, implement, and verify guidance, navigation, and control (GNC) systems for high-performance space vehicles. Develop algorithms, flight and simulation software, verification data, tools, and resolve technical issues while communicating with and supporting the broader engineering team.

Lead design and optimization of in-space servicing missions: create CONOPS, maneuver plans, trajectory and budget analyses, build analysis tools, integrate results into proposals, engage customers, and coordinate with engineering for simulations and verification.

Design, test, and deliver flight RF embedded software for space missions. Implement RF communications requirements, DSP and calibration algorithms, RF control algorithms, FPGA/baseband bring-up, and collaborate with ground teams to develop and test satellite-to-ground data pipelines and RF system integration.

Develop and maintain KPI frameworks and automated test scripts to characterize passive and active antennas (1–30 GHz). Plan and run verification campaigns, analyze antenna pattern data, produce compliance reports, and design fixtures for subsystem integration and coexistence testing.

Lead design and development of propulsion valves and fluid components (cryogenic, high-pressure, high-temperature). Create detailed CAD models and drawings, perform fluid/thermal/structural analyses, establish assembly procedures, support development and qualification testing, work hands-on with technicians, and resolve technical issues from concept to product realization.

Lead design, analysis, test, and sustainment of the Helios Kick Stage vehicle. Manage a team of responsible engineers, define product roadmaps and engineering processes, drive component test campaigns, and coordinate across engineering, manufacturing, and operations to deliver a reliable, flight-ready space vehicle.

Lead reliability for propulsion hardware across design, manufacturing, and flight. Investigate and eliminate build defects, develop inspections and acceptance criteria, perform development testing, provide design-for-reliability guidance, optimize MRP/ERP traceability, build quality metrics, train technicians, and drive corrective actions and supplier quality improvements.

Design, write, and debug flight and ground software integration/regression tests (simulation and hardware-in-the-loop). Implement tests in Python, support C/C++ debug, bring up Docker containers and HIL environments, integrate hardware emulators, automate tests in CI/CD, and collaborate with GNC and ops to create day-in-the-life spacecraft test scenarios.

Design, architect, and bring up high-speed digital circuit boards for software-defined radios on spacecraft. Develop schematics and layouts, perform signal integrity and timing analyses, run simulations, test hardware in lab and system-level RF environments, derive requirements, support qualification and flight operations, mentor junior engineers, and troubleshoot/fix lifecycle issues.

Analyze and create fluid system designs for spacecraft propulsion: perform fluids and thermal analyses, size PMDs, run CFD and multi-phase simulations, validate with testing, develop company-wide analysis tools, and mentor peers.
