Top Tech Jobs & Startup Jobs

Design, build, deploy, and support standardized electrical test hardware, including DAQ systems, controls, instrumentation, power distribution, test carts, and interface assemblies. Create schematics, wiring diagrams, bills of materials, and assembly documentation. Manage hardware through procurement, fabrication, integration, commissioning, deployment, and maintenance. Collaborate with software automation, IT, and test operations teams to configure assets, troubleshoot electrical and software interfaces, and support test-site bring-up.

Develops and optimizes manufacturing and metrology processes for high-precision opto-mechanical assemblies, including spaceflight cameras, star trackers, and sun sensors. Designs optical alignment tooling, supports assembly integration and testing, improves production yields, resolves floor issues, and updates work instructions. Partners with optical design and cross-functional teams on manufacturability, quality, reliability, environmental testing, and functional performance. Provides technical guidance to opto-mechanical technicians and owns optical, vibration, thermal, and other production testing.

Design, implement, integrate, and verify real-time flight software for guidance, navigation, control, telemetry, mission sequencing, autonomy, and fault management. Develop deterministic, safety-critical embedded code, support testing, integration, launches, and on-orbit operations.

Lead and mentor a team of PCBA manufacturing engineers, own PCBA manufacturing across products, set up and run SMT lines, develop work instructions and ATP testing, collaborate with design for manufacturability, and optimize production rate, yield, cost, and timely delivery while ensuring high reliability for space applications.

Manages spacecraft actuator engineering across design, analysis, testing, production ramp, flight operations, sustainment, and improvement. Leads responsible engineers, defines actuator product roadmaps, develops engineering processes, executes test campaigns, and coordinates with engineering, manufacturing, operations, leadership, and business development. The role also includes individual technical ownership of actuator development through design, integration, testing, and flight operations.

Lead technical execution and integration for large, multi-mission space programs from kickoff through delivery. Manage customer interfaces, negotiate with launch providers, translate requirements into SOWs, drive mission assurance and readiness reviews, resolve technical anomalies, and build scalable processes and documentation. Occasionally travel (<20%).

Design, build, commission, and maintain propulsion test stands and ground support equipment for cryogenic propulsion systems. Plan preventative maintenance, troubleshoot mechanical/fluid/electrical/instrumentation issues, support root-cause investigations and safety/hazard analyses, maintain P&IDs and facility documentation, and promote operational excellence during test operations.

Operate and support propulsion test campaigns at Mojave, serving as console operator; plan and execute development and qualification tests; develop procedures and automation; configure and verify propulsion hardware, instrumentation, and DAQ; analyze performance data; conduct readiness, hazard, and post-test reviews; collaborate with design engineers to improve engines, stands, and GSE while maintaining operational discipline and safety.

Lead spacecraft mechanisms design, analysis, testing, operation, sustainment, and improvement. Manage and grow a team of responsible engineers, set product roadmap, implement engineering processes, execute test campaigns, and collaborate with manufacturing and operations to deliver reliable flight components.

Own spacecraft build from assembly through launch vehicle integration. Execute system-level testing, lead system integration and activation with technician teams, manage multidisciplinary schedules, identify and drive resolution of build issues, and provide design feedback to improve spacecraft processing.
