Top Tech Jobs & Startup Jobs

Own manufacturing processes and scale interceptor production from development builds to high-rate manufacturing. Develop assembly processes, work instructions, tooling, equipment, inspection requirements, and process controls. Apply DFMA and PFMEA to improve producibility and reduce risk. Support technicians, resolve build issues, investigate nonconformances, train operators, and coordinate corrective actions across design, quality, and test teams.

Own the complete finance function and partner with the CEO across fundraising, debt financing, budgeting, cash management, government contract finance, unit economics, financial controls, and production scaling. Lead burn, runway, forecasting, diligence, investor and board reporting, cap table administration, and finance team development. Build the infrastructure and financial roadmap required to move an aerospace and defense hardware business from initial contracts through mass production and cash-flow positivity.

Own and develop quality systems for aerospace and defense manufacturing, including inspection processes, NCR and CAPA management, FAI per AS9102, acceptance testing, FMEA, corrective actions, supplier quality, engineering change reviews, quality metrics, and internal audits. Collaborate across engineering, production, and supply chain teams to establish procedures, control plans, inspection criteria, and production quality controls for integrated mechanical, electrical, software, and propulsion products.

Lead all-up-round testing for tactical solid rocket motor propulsion systems, including warhead and ESAD integration, static-fire and flight test execution, instrumentation, data review, anomaly investigations, and formal reporting. Coordinate government range authorities, safety organizations, logistics, airspace requirements, and test approvals. Manage explosive-material handling, hazardous shipping documentation, chain of custody, and compliance with DoD, ATF, DDESB, DOT, and applicable STANAG requirements.

Develop real-time target tracking, state estimation, and multi-sensor fusion software for embedded autonomous and airborne systems. Implement EKF, UKF, particle filters, IMM estimators, track management, data association, and asynchronous sensor integration. Optimize low-latency C++ software for NVIDIA Jetson-class hardware, integrate computer vision pipelines, validate estimators through simulation and replay, and collaborate with perception, guidance, autonomy, and controls teams.

Manage full-cycle recruiting for technical roles across software, hardware, design, electrical, mechanical, and aerospace engineering. Partner with hiring managers, source and screen candidates, coordinate interviews, maintain ATS records, build talent pipelines, deliver strong candidate experiences, track recruiting metrics, and monitor market compensation trends.

Design, develop, optimize, integrate, and test embedded software for aerospace fault detection, guidance, navigation, and flight control systems. Responsibilities include real-time performance optimization, hardware and software interface configuration, driver implementation, module through system-level testing, software architecture for a greenfield platform, and contributions to computer vision software.

Senior propulsion engineer responsible for tactical solid rocket motor ballistic performance modeling, structural and thermal analysis, testing, characterization, and validation. Leads anomaly investigations, performance trade studies, technical data submissions, safety and regulatory compliance activities, and technical leadership for composite propellant programs. Provides mentorship, supports manufacturing and quality improvements, contributes to technology roadmaps and proposals, and serves as a technical authority from formulation through full-scale testing.

Lead development of high-fidelity 6-DOF flight and physics simulations for missile flight, guidance, navigation, and control validation. Build real-time physics integrations, Monte Carlo and hardware-in-the-loop testing, closed-loop infrastructure, sensor models, scenario tools, visualization, and performance-analysis systems. Ensure simulation fidelity, determinism, and performance across varied operating conditions while collaborating with flight software, autonomy, and hardware teams.

Lead development of high-fidelity six-degree-of-freedom flight and physics simulations for missile guidance, navigation, and control validation. Build real-time physics, sensor emulation, Monte Carlo, hardware-in-the-loop, and closed-loop testing infrastructure. Develop scenario authoring, visualization, and performance-analysis tools while ensuring simulation fidelity, performance, and determinism. Collaborate with flight software, autonomy, and hardware teams to validate systems against real-world constraints.
