Top Tech Jobs & Startup Jobs

Leads the design, integration, testing, and operation of hypergolic propulsion systems for spacecraft and lunar landers. Coordinates with systems engineering, program management, suppliers, and subsystem teams; develops component specifications, verifies requirements, supports cleanroom assembly, contributes to safety and readiness reviews, and provides mission operations support. The role also performs propulsion trade studies, manages technical risks, and supports vendor hardware and test facilities.

Supports procurement for lunar systems by sourcing aerospace components, equipment, and services; negotiating supplier terms, pricing, and schedules; selecting suppliers; interpreting engineering documentation; identifying alternate parts; managing supply chain risks; and overseeing supplier qualification, performance, quality, and relationships. The role is hybrid in Pittsburgh and requires up to 10% travel.

Develops deep learning and machine learning models for computer vision, synthetic aperture radar, and geospatial exploitation applications. Responsibilities include designing neural network architectures, training models for object detection and classification, preprocessing SAR data, creating physics simulations, addressing simulated-to-real-world bias, evaluating model performance, presenting findings, and delivering production-quality Python code. The role supports mission-critical defense and national security customers.

Lead site AS9100D/ISO 9001 quality and mission assurance for multiple flight programs. Manage audits, MRB, NCR/CAR/SCAR workflows, supplier quality, EIDP approvals, and enforce space-grade workmanship. Mentor and allocate a quality/inspection team, ensure ITAR/CUI compliance, and support cleanroom/ESD controls and continuous improvement.

Senior-level engineer leading modeling, simulation, and controls for propulsion and aerospace systems. Develops high-fidelity models, control algorithms, simulation architectures, performance and ballistics analysis, and leads multidisciplinary teams. Interfaces with DoD customers, mentors junior engineers, ensures V&V and configuration control, and supports proposal and program technical strategy.

Design, prototype, and implement deep learning models for computer vision and SAR geospatial exploitation. Pre-process SAR data, create physics simulations, develop objective functions, assess performance, and deliver production-quality Python code for defense customers.

Design, prototype, and implement deep learning models for computer vision and SAR geospatial exploitation. Develop signal preprocessing, physics simulations, objective functions, and production-quality Python code. Present findings and support transition to operational systems for government customers.

Manage early-stage lunar mission concepts and technology development. Create budgets, schedules, proposals, and bottoms-up estimates; coordinate cross-functional teams, partners, customers, and vendors; run internal development projects and paid architecture studies while tracking risks, deliverables, and finances.

Design, simulate, test, and verify RF communications subsystems for spacecraft (Earth orbit, cislunar, lunar). Develop requirements, perform link budgets and risk/reliability assessments, support design reviews, test components, ensure regulatory compliance, and collaborate with suppliers and other subsystems.

Serve as technical authority for lunar lander electrical systems, lead and mentor engineers, develop and maintain electrical designs and verification plans, manage risks and configuration control, review supplier deliverables, and present technical status at program reviews to deliver flight hardware on schedule and within budget.
