Top Tech Jobs & Startup Jobs

Own the physical configuration and packaging of rocket engines and vehicle subsystems. Design fluid routing, brackets, clamps, secondary structures, and master configuration models while evaluating mass, structural loads, pressure drop, manufacturability, maintenance access, and cost. Coordinate subsystem interfaces, support hardware integration and build activities, resolve fit issues, and mentor junior engineers. Use CAD, sketches, FEA, generative design, and AI-assisted tools to develop serviceable, production-ready aerospace layouts.

Own the mechanical design and lifecycle of turbopump components from concept through manufacturing, hot-fire testing, and flight. Develop CAD models, design definitions, tolerances, GD&T, material and process specifications, and supporting analyses. Integrate fluid, structural, aerodynamic, and thermal constraints; control configuration and component pedigree; support fabrication, first-article reviews, nonconformance disposition, testing, data reduction, and anomaly investigations.

Design, build, commission, and operate fluid, mechanical, instrumentation, and control test systems for components, engines, and full stages. Own P&IDs, procurement, fabrication, checkout, test procedures, hazard analysis, instrumentation, data reduction, troubleshooting, and anomaly resolution. Safely operate high-pressure and cryogenic systems, write control scripts, manage test schedules, and serve as test conductor. The role requires hands-on experience with propulsion or hazardous industrial systems and strong mechanical, fluids, controls, and software fundamentals.

Design, develop, and maintain platform firmware, BMC/OpenBMC management stacks, and FPGA/CPLD logic for board bring-up and system management. Own low-level boot sequencing, debug CPU/GPU/PCIe/hardware interactions, implement Redfish/IPMI interfaces, and build fault recovery, secure boot, and autonomous reboot systems for orbital deployments.

Manage high-volume accounts payable including two- and three-way matching, invoice investigation and resolution, vendor master maintenance, payment runs (ACH/wire/check), expense reimbursements, month-end/year-end AP reconciliations, 1099 and tax filings, audit recordkeeping, vendor communication, and process improvement to strengthen internal controls.

Lead end-to-end development of precision gimbal mechanisms for laser communications payloads, including design, analysis, procurement, integration, and qualification. Define performance requirements, perform mechanism-level analysis, manage suppliers, develop test and qualification plans, and collaborate with optics, controls, and systems teams to deliver flight-qualified hardware.

Design, develop, and validate board-level RF hardware for free-space optical communications up to 50 Gbps. Own RF driver/receiver circuitry, high-speed RF/analog PCB layout, signal integrity analysis, simulation and lab characterization. Collaborate with optics, mechanical, firmware, and systems teams to integrate and flight-qualify RF/optical subsystems and support testing, troubleshooting, and documentation.

Design, develop, integrate, and qualify spacecraft battery systems from concept through flight. Responsibilities include pack/module architecture, BMS development (SOC/SOH, cell balancing, protections), cell chemistry selection, sizing and degradation modeling, thermal and safety strategies, environmental qualification and testing, manufacturing support, and on-orbit performance monitoring and failure investigation.

Design, build, and qualify high-power fiber laser and amplifier systems and fiber-optic subsystems for space applications. Characterize lasers (linewidth, phase noise, RIN), model nonlinear effects, perform fiber splicing and assembly, design coherent receivers, and execute optical test plans and documentation for space qualification.

Lead end-to-end system integration and validation of electro-mechanical and avionics hardware. Design and build test infrastructure, develop automated and manual procedures, run environmental and functional tests, debug electrical systems, perform failure analysis, support flight qualification and launch readiness, and collaborate with hardware, firmware, and software teams to improve test coverage and reliability.
