Top Tech Jobs & Startup Jobs

Leads hardware and supply chain security strategy across procurement and manufacturing. Defines supplier risk criteria, secures provisioning and key-injection workflows, manages chain of custody, implements anti-counterfeit controls, validates firmware authenticity, aligns processes with NIST SP 800-161, and mentors security personnel. The role also supports vendor evaluations, test equipment security, and security organization growth for space-based communications systems.

Own the end-to-end security architecture and delivery for ground-based satellite terminals, including RF, baseband, embedded systems, secure wireless communications, threat modeling, provisioning, cryptographic lifecycle management, secure boot, anti-tampering, and manufacturing security. Lead collaboration with hardware and RAN teams, establish security roadmaps and procurement guardrails, and mentor security engineers while remaining hands-on.

Designs GNSS/PNT navigation signals, navigation message formats, simulation tools, and reference implementations for satellite systems. Develops signal-in-space specifications, message encoding, baseband/IQ generation, conformance tests, and golden-reference test vectors. Evaluates acquisition, tracking, bandwidth, synchronization, coding, and receiver performance trade-offs. Collaborates with navigation, timing, RF, FPGA, flight software, payload, and security teams to integrate and verify signal implementations.

Lead the development of onboard real-time beam control systems, integrating control software with mission requirements, while managing interfaces and conducting performance analyses.

Design and implement control plane software spanning SDN, ground systems, satellites, and terminals. Build scalable services and APIs for provisioning, configuration, automation, telemetry, and network operations. Address dynamic network conditions and integrate with cloud and on-premises platforms. Collaborate across data plane, platform, embedded systems, product, and quality teams while contributing to architecture, implementation, testing, debugging, and system integration.

The Security Assurance Lead will establish and lead a security testing and assurance organization spanning spacecraft, embedded hardware, supply chain, launch operations, cloud infrastructure, CI/CD, and ground systems. Responsibilities include defining governance, security KPIs, risk frameworks, testing strategies, vulnerability remediation thresholds, and launch-readiness criteria. The role leads red teaming, penetration testing, vulnerability research, and cross-functional security improvements, while providing final security sign-off for mission-critical hardware and software releases.

Lead security architecture for a LEO satellite network spanning multi-region cloud, ground stations, and edge nodes. The role owns zero-trust workload identity, SDN and control-plane hardening, runtime defense, policy enforcement, cryptographic key ceremonies, PKI, HSM and TPM architecture, secrets management, security telemetry, and anomaly detection. It translates federal and defense cybersecurity mandates into resilient technical designs and collaborates with platform, ground-segment, and spacecraft teams.

Lead design and implementation of a secure software supply chain and high-assurance CI/CD platform. Secure build and deployment environments, enforce artifact signing, provenance and SBOM generation, target SLSA 3/4 and NIST SSDF compliance, integrate AI governance and agentic controls into pipelines, and grow/mentor the security team.

Design, implement, verify, and deploy FPGA-based modem chains for satellite communications. Own micro-architecture, HDL implementation, verification frameworks, synthesis/place-and-route, HW/SW interfaces, lab bring-up, and mentor junior engineers.

Lead FP&A function by building and maintaining multi-year financial models, managing budgeting and rolling forecasts, enabling capital raise readiness, partnering with engineering on unit economics, and implementing ERP/FP&A systems to deliver clear financial insights to executives and the board.
