Top Tech Jobs & Startup Jobs

Lead design, analysis, development, and qualification of payload segments and mechanical spacecraft interfaces. Produce CAD, drawings, perform FEA and hand calculations, define tests to industry standards, support builds/integration, and mentor junior engineers while collaborating with cross-functional teams and customers.

Lead design, analysis, test, and qualification of spacecraft fluid and propulsion subsystems from concept through flight. Own requirements, CAD/analysis, hardware development, integration, and test; coordinate manufacturing and operations; perform trade studies, risk identification, and data-driven decisions; develop automation and test-analysis tools; support flight and launch campaigns and troubleshoot fluid system operations.

Responsible for end-to-end design, analysis, testing, and operation of spacecraft fluid and propulsion systems. Lead CAD/analysis, drive test campaigns, support vehicle operations, collaborate with manufacturing, and reduce system complexity to maximize reliability.

Perform structural analysis for spacecraft, launch vehicles, and ground support using hand calculations and FEA (ANSYS, NX Nastran). Develop test requirements, validate models with test data, review analyses, define material properties and part changes, and write strength and stability margins to meet program safety factors.

Lead and grow the spacecraft ground software organization, set long-term architecture and technical vision, oversee development and operations of command/telemetry/mission planning systems, coordinate across engineering and operations, and ensure mission-ready, secure, and scalable ground software for launch and on-orbit activities.

Design and analyze ruggedized electronics packaging, electro-mechanical assemblies, and test fixtures for launch vehicles. Perform thermal, modal, and vibration analyses; develop CAD models, drawings, and documentation; support environmental test campaigns and collaborate with PCB and integration teams.

Lead vehicle-level architecture and interdisciplinary optimization for spacecraft programs. Serve as primary technical authority across lifecycle, conduct system trades, manage mass/power/data budgets and technical risk, chair design reviews, support operations and anomaly resolution, mentor engineering staff, and coordinate across Production, QA, Program Management, and customers.

Design, develop, test, and support hypergolic in-space propulsion hardware (main and attitude engines, valves, tanks). Own integration, manufacturing, test procedures, flight operations, risk trade studies, automation, and data analysis for propulsion systems.
