Work alongside an elite engineering team
Own systems from concept through validation
Fast-moving environment with minimal bureaucracy
Significant technical growth opportunities
Clear pathways into technical leadership, management, or chief engineer tracks
Competitive compensation, equity, and benefits
Relocation Bonus Available

If you're looking for a role where your work directly impacts what gets built, tested, launched, and operated in orbit, this is that opportunity.
