Top Tech Jobs & Startup Jobs

Design, develop, test, and debug software for spacecraft flight, embedded, ground, communications, and mission operations systems. Build simulation and hardware-in-the-loop frameworks, collaborate with hardware and systems teams, resolve integration issues, and contribute to code reviews, documentation, testing, and engineering practices.

Design and own rocket engine TCA hardware through requirements, analysis, manufacturing, testing, and flight qualification. Responsibilities include mechanical design, FEA, tolerance analysis, tooling and fixture design, advanced manufacturing process development, hotfire test execution, documentation, and rapid redesign. The engineer works closely with propulsion, manufacturing, machinists, welders, technicians, and test teams in an onsite shop and laboratory environment.

Establish manufacturing processes for rocket engine hardware and help build a factory from the ground up. Own DFM strategy, production methods, equipment selection, tooling, fixtures, process qualification, supplier coordination, build documentation, and production readiness. Lead hardware delivery, yield, cycle time, configuration tracking, nonconformance disposition, rework, repair, and root-cause resolution. Support facility planning, qualify new processes, and mentor manufacturing engineers.

Mechanical/Aerospace Engineering Intern supporting spacecraft mechanical systems, including structural, thermal, and mechanical design; hardware testing; integration and assembly; test-data analysis; fabrication coordination; engineering documentation; and cross-functional issue resolution. The role is hands-on and on-site in Kent, Washington, contributing to flight hardware for space-based solar power systems.

Own end-to-end sourcing, purchase orders, supplier negotiations, vendor management, and procurement workflows for mission-critical hardware programs. Analyze supplier performance, spend, and delivery metrics using data tools; drive cost reductions, process improvements, and procurement automation. Partner with engineering, finance, and operations to support hardware development and production while ensuring compliant purchasing packages and reliable material availability.

Hands-on launch engineering internship focused on powerpack, mechanisms, fluids, or thrust-chamber systems. Interns own a component, analysis, or test from definition through completion; create CAD models and GD&T drawings; perform calculations and FEA; support hardware fabrication and testing; analyze test data; troubleshoot issues; and present results. Work involves close collaboration with engineers, machinists, and technicians in a hardware development environment.

Owns spacecraft ordnance and energetic systems from architecture and hardware selection through qualification, flight operations, and ground safety. Responsibilities include designing initiation chains, analyzing firing margins and susceptibility, qualifying pyro devices, managing hazard classification and explosive site planning, and ensuring ATF, DOT, DoD, and ITAR compliance. The role also establishes storage, handling, shipping, licensing, and operating procedures for a new ordnance discipline, including reusable-vehicle safing and requalification.

Designs and owns spacecraft mechanical hardware from concept through production and flight. Responsibilities include developing structures, mechanisms, thermal systems, drawings, and engineering documentation; performing FEA, thermal, and tolerance analyses; prototyping and testing; supporting integration and launch readiness; troubleshooting hardware; and collaborating with suppliers, manufacturers, and multidisciplinary engineering teams.

Lead propulsion analysis for rocket engines and vehicles using FEA, CFD, thermal, static, dynamic, and fatigue simulations. Develop and enforce modeling standards, collaborate with design, hardware, and test teams, validate models against physical results, drive design improvements, and produce clear technical documentation. The role is onsite in Seattle and requires strong multiphysics simulation, numerical analysis, and thermal/fluid network expertise.

Design, develop, and integrate spacecraft subsystems (structures, power, thermal, avionics). Lead system-level trade studies, CAD/FEA modeling, integration and environmental testing, prepare technical documentation and ICDs, and support PDR/CDR and cross-functional teams through integration and test campaigns.
