Job Description Job Description Principal GNC Engineer Location: Playa Vista, California (in-person, five days per week) The return lane isn't going to build itself. Come build it with us. Outpost is an orbital logistics company rewriting the rules of global logistics by building reusable Earth-return vehicles that unlock in-space manufacturing, on-orbit warehousing, and 60-minute global delivery through space. Our CarryAll vehicle family returns payloads ranging from 200 kilograms to 10 metric tons, lands within 10 meters of its target, and can then be refurbished and launched again. One vehicle, many missions: responsive logistics and precision delivery for national security; commercial cargo moved with real cadence; R&D payloads flown, tested, and refined across repeatable cycles; and critical aid delivered where roads and runways can't reach. The demand is already here, validated through defense and civil agreements and supported by a growing pipeline of government and commercial customers. We have the customers, the team, and a clear technical path ahead of us. We're building the return lane. Come build it with us The Role Outpost is building vehicles that bring things back from space. Getting mass from orbit to a precise point on the ground is a GNC problem end to end: a deorbit burn that has to hit an entry corridor, a hypersonic entry that has to bleed energy inside structural and thermal limits, and a guided descent that has to land on a target, repeatably, and cheaply enough to do it often. We're hiring a Principal GNC Engineer to own that chain. This is not a role where you hand algorithms over a wall. You'll design the guidance and estimation architecture, write the flight code, put it on hardware, sit through the HIL runs, go out to the drop tests and flight campaigns, and come back with data that changes the design. If you want to see your controller fly within months rather than years, this is that job. Basic Qualifications: Bachelor's degree in a related technical discipline with 5+ years as a GNC or Controls professional or Advanced degree with 3+ years as a GNC or Controls professional Software development experience in C++ and Python.

Job Description Job Description Principal GNC Engineer Location: Playa Vista, California (in-person, five days per week) The return lane isn't going to build itself. Come build it with us. Outpost is an orbital logistics company rewriting the rules of global logistics by building reusable Earth-return vehicles that unlock in-space manufacturing, on-orbit warehousing, and 60-minute global delivery through space. Our CarryAll vehicle family returns payloads ranging from 200 kilograms to 10 metric tons, lands within 10 meters of its target, and can then be refurbished and launched again. One vehicle, many missions: responsive logistics and precision delivery for national security; commercial cargo moved with real cadence; R&D payloads flown, tested, and refined across repeatable cycles; and critical aid delivered where roads and runways can't reach. The demand is already here, validated through defense and civil agreements and supported by a growing pipeline of government and commercial customers. We have the customers, the team, and a clear technical path ahead of us. We're building the return lane. Come build it with us The Role Outpost is building vehicles that bring things back from space. Getting mass from orbit to a precise point on the ground is a GNC problem end to end: a deorbit burn that has to hit an entry corridor, a hypersonic entry that has to bleed energy inside structural and thermal limits, and a guided descent that has to land on a target, repeatably, and cheaply enough to do it often. We're hiring a Principal GNC Engineer to own that chain. This is not a role where you hand algorithms over a wall. You'll design the guidance and estimation architecture, write the flight code, put it on hardware, sit through the HIL runs, go out to the drop tests and flight campaigns, and come back with data that changes the design. If you want to see your controller fly within months rather than years, this is that job. Basic Qualifications: Bachelor's degree in a related technical discipline with 5+ years as a GNC or Controls professional or Advanced degree with 3+ years as a GNC or Controls professional Software development experience in C++ and Python. Experience in software tools such as Git, Jira, and CI Pipeline Algorithms on real hardware (e.g. Extended Kalman Filters, LQR) Strong understanding of classical dynamics, modeling and simulation, classical and modern control.

Job Description Job Description Who We Are: Aurelius Systems is a VC backed defense tech startup building autonomous, edge deployed directed energy systems for counter-UAS. We build laser weapons to shoot down drones. We're a small team of 10 engineers, former US military operators, and subject matter experts scaling America's directed energy dominance. The first cost effective, reliable and robust laser weapon system. Our namesake isn't an accident. Marcus Aurelius wrote about doing the work in front of you, every day, without excuses. Henry Ford didn't wait for permission to reinvent manufacturing. That's how we operate - small team, unreasonable output, no hiding behind the unachievable. In addition to our San Francisco lab, we opened our Detroit manufacturing hub and field test weekly on our own 400-acre private range. The Role and Your Impact: We need a Principal Hardware Engineer to bring senior technical judgment across Archimedes hardware. You are a highly experienced builder who has seen systems go the full way. From a working prototype to hardware that ships and survives in the field. You've done it more than once. You know where systems break, where teams get stuck, and how to keep both moving. This is a technical leadership seat, not a people management seat. Your role is to raise the level of the hardware org through experience, architectural judgment, and hands-on execution. You lead by example, you unblock hard problems, and you set the technical bar for how hardware gets designed and shipped at Aurelius. You'll partner with the founders and the Director of Engineering on architecture and roadmap. You'll work directly alongside mechanical, electrical, power, embedded, and optics engineers on the hardest problems the team is facing. What You'll Own: Architectural direction across the hardware stack from mechanical, electrical, power, to embedded integration Technical decisions on the hardest problems, from concept through production readiness Pattern recognition and technical review like surfacing risk early, and catching what junior engineers miss Handson execution when the problem needs your specific experience to solve fast Design and manufacturing trades across cost, mass, reliability, schedule, and field performance Cross-team judgment when hardware, controls, optics, and software collide Setting the technical bar for design reviews, documentation quality, and release standards Mentorship by example. Engineers should learn from watching you work, not from being managed by you What We're Looking For: 10+ years designing and shipping complex hardware systems Track record taking systems the full development cycle from prototype through manufacturing and deployment Senior IC or technical leadership background at hardware companies that actually shipped Deep technical judgment across at least two of: mechanical, electrical, power electronics, embedded systems Pattern recognition from having built real systems before, especially systems that had to survive real-world conditions Comfort operating as the technical anchor on a small team, not the manager of a large one Nice to Haves: Directed energy, laser, or high-power systems experience Defense or aerospace program experience with MIL-STD or equivalent qualification Founder or founding engineer background at a hardware company Manufacturing depth as-in you've stood up production lines or worked closely with the manufacturers who do Active security clearance or ability to obtain one How You Operate: Extreme bias for action. You'd rather build a prototype tomorrow than model it for a month You characterize your own systems before the field does Comfortable with ambiguity and fast iteration in a startup environment You debug from first principles, not intuition alone Clear communicator across mechanical, electrical, optical, and software teams Self directed. You identify what needs to happen next and do it without being told Why Join Aurelius Systems: Build more in 1 month than most engineers build in 1 year. We field test weekly. Your work goes downrange, not into a filing cabinet. Career velocity is real. At 10 engineers, there are no layers between you and impact. Work on a problem that actually matters. Small cheap drones are changing warfare. Our laser systems are the asymmetric answer - infinite magazine, near zero cost per shot, scalable to every base, border, facility, and truck. Join the densest defense startup ecosystem in the country. California is where the next generation of defense companies are being built. How We Work: Core hours are Monday through Friday, 9 to 6. When we're sprinting toward a demo or field test, the team ramps up - nights, weekends, whatever it takes to ship. When the sprint lands, we ramp down. We don't manufacture intensity for show. Benefits: Competitive salary and equity United Health Care medical, dental, and vision coverage Flexible 18 days PTO plus 5 sick days Travel to field test events and range days Covered daily lunches and office snacks and drinks E-bike and scooter stipend up to $500 Direct access to leadership and real ownership over your work Export Control Notice: This role requires access to export-controlled information or items that require U.S. Person status. As defined by U.S. law, individuals who are any one of the following are considered to be a U.S. Person: (1) U.S. citizens, (2) legal permanent residents (a.k.a. green card holders), and (3) certain protected classes of asylees and refugees, as defined in 8 U.S.C. 1324b(a)(3).
