Top Tech Jobs & Startup Jobs

Owns end-to-end manufacturing, assembly, integration, and verification processes for spacecraft payload systems. Develops work instructions, assembly travelers, process specifications, and acceptance tests; translates customer requirements into production processes; ensures cleanliness and contamination control; provides DFM/DFA feedback; leads inspections, root-cause investigations, corrective actions, and MRB dispositions; and coordinates payload readiness with customers, design engineering, and vehicle integration teams.

Owns the architecture, design, manufacturing, testing, and operations of ground fluid systems for spacecraft programs. Leads propellant loading campaigns, establishes handling processes and technical standards, drives the ground fluids roadmap, supports launch-site coordination, mentors engineers, and resolves complex cross-functional technical issues. The role requires propulsion fluid systems expertise, P&ID proficiency, CAD and PLM experience, and familiarity with spacecraft-grade propellants and range safety requirements.

Owns ground fluid systems for spacecraft programs across architecture, P&IDs, mechanical design, fabrication, testing, and operations. Leads propellant loading campaigns, develops handling processes and engineering standards, maintains technical documentation, mentors engineers, supports design reviews and launch-site coordination, and resolves complex fluid-system issues. The role requires hands-on propulsion fluid experience, CAD and PLM proficiency, range-safety familiarity, and technical ownership across organizational boundaries.

Own the lifecycle of RF flight components including radios, power amplifiers, antennas, and filters. Define specifications, select or design hardware, manage qualification and acceptance testing, automate RF test equipment with Python, investigate failures, mitigate flight risks, and coordinate cross-functional integration. The role includes environmental testing across thermal, vibration, shock, TVAC, and EMI conditions, configuration control, system-level testing, and mentoring junior engineers.

Own the full lifecycle of RF flight components, including radios, amplifiers, antennas, and filters. Define specifications, select or design hardware, integrate signal chains, and lead qualification testing for thermal, vibration, shock, TVAC, and EMI environments.
