Top Tech Jobs & Startup Jobs

Lead delivery of next-generation infrared satellites, owning cost, schedule, and technical performance. Manage internal multidisciplinary teams, subcontractors, and critical vendors across program lifecycle from design through on-orbit demonstration. Serve as primary customer interface, drive technical decisions and risk management, ensure contract compliance (ITAR/EAR), and coordinate financial and subcontract changes.

Lead mission formulation and architecture for EO/IR and persistent infrared/MW missions. Perform mission-level analyses, define requirements and top-level budgets, design payloads and constellations, run trade studies using software/code, and coordinate with instrument, engineering, and science teams to deliver cost-effective space mission solutions.

Design, develop, and test spacecraft electrical hardware including flight computers, power distribution, sensors, actuators, and communications. Perform schematic capture and PCB layout, prototype bring-up and validation, hardware/software integration, create design documentation and test procedures, participate in design reviews, and mentor junior engineers.

Design, implement, and validate spacecraft attitude control architectures and algorithms in an embedded C++ environment. Define ACS requirements and roadmaps, perform mission-specific analysis and simulation, support on-orbit performance trending and anomaly resolution, and plan/execute software- and hardware-in-the-loop testing.

Lead business development for DoD/IC satellite constellation programs: develop strategy, capture opportunities, drive customer engagement, lead proposals/RFIs, coordinate engineering/legal/finance, and support product roadmap. Serve as capture manager and represent customer needs to internal teams.

Lead full-cycle recruiting for hardware roles: source, screen, interview, negotiate offers, and onboard hires. Partner with hiring managers, use ATS and market data, and improve recruiting processes to scale the hardware team in a fast-paced, high-growth environment.

Lead definition and integration of end-to-end spacecraft platform baselines. Drive platform roadmaps, system-level simulation, V&V and TLYF campaigns, fault management, and standardization. Coordinate cross-functional domain leads, track KPPs, and package reusable HW+SW+Ops solutions for fleet production to enable mission-level engineers and meet operational SLAs.

Build cloud-based mission planning and control systems, design cloud architecture, manage deployments with Kubernetes/Helm/AWS Lambda, process spacecraft telemetry with Kafka/InfluxDB/Grafana, integrate APIs with ground station networks, ensure low-latency fault-tolerant systems, and deploy infrastructure across workstations, on-premises data centers, and cloud environments.

Senior software engineer responsible for designing and delivering complex cross-team projects, estimating work, measuring goal-aligned metrics, owning area goals, mentoring engineers, upholding coding and testing standards, and selecting core technologies. Ideal candidate quickly learns new systems and solves automation and fault-handling problems across robotics, embedded, mobile, simulation, or distributed systems domains.

Perform on-orbit geometric calibration and geospatial processing for multispectral infrared FireSat imagery. Design camera geometry models, geolocation calibration, bundle adjustment, orthorectification, and atmospheric corrections. Implement production-ready code and scalable processing pipelines, complete commissioning calibration for new satellites, and collaborate cross-functionally to deliver accurate spatial data products.
