Top Tech Jobs & Startup Jobs

Lead spacecraft guidance, navigation, and control development across algorithm design, flight software, simulation, subsystem requirements, integration, testing, and on-orbit operations. Design autonomy tools, fault detection and response systems, and GNC architectures while coordinating with engineering teams, program managers, customers, and distributed teams. Support design reviews, maintain development schedules, and report technical status for spacecraft programs.

Lead spacecraft GNC and ADCS development across the engineering lifecycle, including algorithm and flight software design, subsystem requirements, component selection, fault response, simulation, integration and testing. Develop spacecraft autonomy tools, support design reviews, coordinate cross-site teams, maintain schedules and milestones, report technical status, and interact directly with aerospace customers.

Performs flight dynamics and mission design for Earth-orbiting, lunar, and interplanetary missions. Responsibilities include trajectory development, orbital propagation, rendezvous and station-keeping analysis, launch window and delta-V planning, collision avoidance, and contingency planning. The engineer interfaces with flight software and GNC teams, develops simulation infrastructure, delivers trajectory data for readiness reviews, and supports real-time mission operations, anomaly response, and post-launch analysis.

Architect and deploy distributed simulation environments for aerospace systems and constellation-level modeling. Build data pipelines to process, analyze, and visualize large simulation datasets; derive engineering and mission insights through statistical analysis and data modeling; optimize HPC and cluster infrastructure; translate mission requirements into scalable architectures; and integrate complex simulation ecosystems across subsystems and analytical tools.

Leads the technical execution of complex aerospace robotic systems, owning architecture, requirements, interfaces, hardware-software integration, verification, validation, and delivery. Coordinates mechanical, electrical, software, controls, manufacturing, and test teams; leads technical trades, risk resolution, integration, formal reviews, and customer communications. Develops systems engineering documentation and mentors engineers while supporting program schedule, risk, and cost estimates.

Leads vehicle integration engineering for the Neutron launch vehicle, including assembly and integration planning, work-cell scheduling, resource coordination, tooling readiness, integrated systems testing, documentation, configuration management, and quality-system changes. Supervises and mentors engineers, coordinates with technicians and multidisciplinary engineering teams, develops work instructions and test procedures, and delivers integrated vehicle modules to the integration facility and launch pad.

Lead strategic sourcing for technical and engineering roles in aerospace manufacturing. Develop search strategies, engage passive candidates, build talent pipelines, screen candidates, provide market intelligence, collaborate with recruiters and hiring managers, support diversity sourcing and recruitment marketing, and track sourcing metrics. This six-month onsite role in Long Beach may convert to full-time employment.

Performs hands-on payload integration for Electron and HASTE launch vehicles, including fit checks, dispenser integration, testing, and assembly instructions. Supports launch-site planning, customer coordination, technical presentations, and interface control documentation. Collaborates with mechanical and electrical engineering teams to resolve spacecraft integration requirements and technical challenges. The role is based in Long Beach, California, and requires frequent worldwide travel to customer facilities and launch sites.

Support lithography-area production through process improvement, yield optimization, defect response, equipment and process development, experimentation, work-instruction creation, and operator training. Collaborate with operations, maintenance, technicians, and R&D teams while owning photolithography modules and metrology. The role also supports equipment procurement and manufacturing expansion for III-V semiconductor and silicon-based solar-cell production.

Leads global IT infrastructure strategy, engineering teams, and 24/7 support across on-premises and cloud environments. Oversees compute, storage, networking, operating systems, virtualization, DevOps, security, compliance, uptime, vendor procurement, and infrastructure priorities supporting engineering, manufacturing, space systems, and launch operations. Develops scalable processes, manages infrastructure across global facilities, and travels domestically and internationally up to 30% of the time.
