Top Tech Jobs & Startup Jobs

Lead and contribute to design, analysis, and integration of launch/recovery mechanical systems from concept through production. Establish engineering standards, perform FMEA and reliability modeling, support testing and field operations, and manage a team of mechanical engineers while coordinating cross-functionally to ensure buildable, testable, and reliable designs.

Design, analyze, and deliver liquid cooling and thermal management systems for a jet-engine VTOL UAV (X-BAT). Own component/system design, supplier engagement, analysis/sizing, and support ground and flight test activities, including test-site travel.

Own and operate CI/CD and automation for autonomy, embedded, and ground software. Improve developer velocity, scale simulation and HIL test execution, manage build/test infrastructure, automate self-service DevOps, integrate testing into pipelines, and implement monitoring and alerts for CI/CD health.

Lead propulsion test development and execution for an afterburning jet-powered vehicle. Oversee design, build, and operation of test stands, instrumentation, and safety systems. Manage propulsion test engineers and technicians, define test objectives, perform thermodynamic and transient analysis, drive root-cause investigations, coordinate schedules and suppliers, and ensure test alignment with vehicle milestones.

Lead hardware reliability efforts for VBAT flight hardware: implement design-for-reliability, run environmental and stress tests (HALT/HASS, temperature cycling, vibration), perform failure analysis and root-cause investigations, support FMEA/design reviews, shape materials and manufacturing requirements, analyze field/test data with reliability models, and drive corrective actions and process improvements.

Support environmental and stress testing, failure analysis, and reliability assessments for VBAT flight hardware. Collaborate with design, manufacturing, and suppliers to implement design-for-reliability practices, participate in FMEAs and design reviews, analyze test and field data, and develop corrective actions and process improvements. Use data tools (e.g., Python) and occasionally travel to support testing or supplier engagements.

Design, implement, and deploy real-time state estimation and sensor-fusion algorithms for autonomous UAVs (IMU, GNSS, visual odometry, radar). Build robust sensor pipelines, conduct simulation/lab/field testing, optimize for constrained hardware, and collaborate across autonomy, software, and hardware teams to transition research into fielded navigation solutions.

Paid full-time co-op for rising 2027 graduates to work on autonomous aircraft hardware. Own a tailored project (PCB design, power electronics, avionics bring-up, testing/HALT), collaborate with senior engineers, and contribute to prototype development, validation, and reliability testing.

Own full-cycle recruiting for specialized hardware engineering roles (electrical, power electronics, embedded hardware, avionics, PCB, RF). Partner with engineering leadership on hiring strategy and workforce planning, build proactive sourcing pipelines, manage multiple complex searches, improve recruiting processes and tooling, mentor junior recruiters, and deliver high-quality candidate experience.

Plan, execute, and analyze ground and flight test campaigns for manned/unmanned aircraft. Develop test plans, coordinate pre/flight/post activities, collect telemetry, troubleshoot systems, validate requirements, document results, and improve test processes while supporting maintenance and range operations.
