Top Tech Jobs & Startup Jobs

Lead design, implementation, integration, and verification of flight software for responsive high-performance spacecraft. Architect real-time systems for command/telemetry, mission sequencing, autonomy, and fault management. Develop closed-loop control and anomaly detection/mitigation, mentor engineers, and support mission operations, testing, and on-orbit troubleshooting.

Develop real-time, fault-tolerant embedded firmware for actuators and electromechanical control systems across launch vehicles and spacecraft. Implement closed-loop control, motor commutation, sensor feedback integration, and safety-critical state machines. Interface over CAN, SPI, UART, Ethernet, RS-422, and BISS-C; support testing, hotfire campaigns, and in-flight diagnostics. Produce unit-tested, production-quality firmware for harsh space environments.

Develop and maintain automation, data acquisition, and control software for propulsion test stands and component benches. Implement automation frameworks, support full test lifecycle, collaborate with test and propulsion teams, diagnose hardware-software issues, and operate onsite to enable reliable, high-fidelity propulsion testing.

Provide strategic legal counsel on U.S. government and defense contracts across the full lifecycle. Advise on FAR/DFARS, negotiate prime/subcontracts, support compliance (cost accounting, audits, data rights, cybersecurity), manage contract performance, disputes, and outside counsel, and develop scalable processes, templates, and training to support government contracting activities.

Design, analyze, build, and test turbomachinery for liquid rocket engines including 1-D sizing and detailed flowpath design for inducers, impellers, turbines, and secondary fluid paths; perform structural and rotor-dynamics analyses; ensure manufacturability and support turbopump assembly, manufacturing, and testing.

Lead design, analysis, testing, and operation of multiple spacecraft propulsion systems (cryogenic to storable). Own fluids and control systems, execute test campaigns, run design trades and reviews, resolve technical issues, and manage a cross-functional propulsion engineering team to deliver reliable flight vehicles.

Develop and maintain KPI frameworks and automated test scripts to characterize passive and active antennas (1–30 GHz). Plan and run verification campaigns, analyze antenna pattern data, produce compliance reports, and design fixtures for subsystem integration and coexistence testing.

Design, architect, and bring up high-speed digital circuit boards for software-defined radios on spacecraft. Develop schematics and layouts, perform signal integrity and timing analyses, run simulations, test hardware in lab and system-level RF environments, derive requirements, support qualification and flight operations, mentor junior engineers, and troubleshoot/fix lifecycle issues.

Analyze and create fluid system designs for spacecraft propulsion: perform fluids and thermal analyses, size PMDs, run CFD and multi-phase simulations, validate with testing, develop company-wide analysis tools, and mentor peers.

Operate and develop liquid rocket propulsion test stands: perform test setup, inspections, troubleshooting, and data acquisition; design and build fluid, mechanical, and electrical systems; create and optimize test procedures; improve processes and resolve technical issues in a fast-paced aerospace test environment.
