Top Tech Jobs & Startup Jobs

As a Staff Optical Engineer, you will lead the design, analysis, and testing of optical systems for reentry vehicles, including sensor windows and spectral camera systems. You'll collaborate with cross-functional teams to integrate optical hardware into flight systems and conduct optical quality measurement tests.

As a Propulsion and Energetics Test Engineer II, you will lead and support test campaigns, focusing on propulsion testing and data processing for reentry systems.

Own new product introduction, manufacturing, and integration engineering across aerospace vehicle programs. Develop assembly processes, work instructions, tooling, fixtures, and integration checklists for structures, mechanisms, TPS, and mechanical interfaces. Lead non-conformance disposition, root-cause analysis, corrective actions, and floor execution. Coordinate production activities, establish precision assembly standards, and mentor junior engineers while ensuring safe, repeatable, on-schedule vehicle builds.

The Director of Business Development will identify and capture hypersonic flight tests, engaging stakeholders and managing technical sales for government and commercial clients.

Design, provision, and maintain infrastructure for simulation and test workflows (HPC, SIL, HIL). Build infrastructure-agnostic platforms, IaC, CI/CD pipelines, containerized orchestration, cloud/IaaS resource management, network configuration, and automation to enable rapid, repeatable integration and testing of flight systems.

Design, build, and maintain automated software and hardware test systems for flight systems. Develop automated test scripts, device API wrappers, hardware emulators, and provisioning/deployment automation to enable SIL/HIL testing and continuous integration of flight software and hardware.

Own and develop GNC algorithms for hypersonic/supersonic reentry phases, including guidance and control laws, state estimation and sensor fusion, 6DOF simulation, Monte Carlo dispersion analysis, actuator/control-structure analysis, and deployment/testing of GNC software in SIL/HIL. Collaborate with aerothermal, structures, and flight software teams to optimize vehicle design and trajectory performance.

Designs, builds, and tests liquid and gas propulsion systems for hypersonic reentry vehicles, focusing on ACS thrusters, fluid feed systems, and propulsion components. Owns fluid-network mechanical design and analysis, hardware fabrication, test planning, and hot-fire campaigns. Integrates propulsion hardware with vehicle teams and verifies performance against mission requirements. The role requires hands-on high-pressure propulsion experience, CAD expertise, engineering fundamentals, detailed technical documentation, and eligibility for a U.S. government security clearance.

Manage customer engagement from capability studies to launch and recovery, support program proposals, ensure contract requirements are met, and interface across teams.

Lead end-to-end design, analysis, testing, and production of flight-critical mechanisms for reentry vehicles. Perform structural and thermal FEA, create drawings and ICDs, run environmental qualification campaigns, collaborate across disciplines, manage suppliers, and support vehicle integration and launch activities.
