Job Description Job Description A New Paradigm For Space Operations. Who We Are: Space Kinetic is a dual use space technology startup building a completely new architecture for space operations - one that brings the advantages of proliferated drone technology (low-cost, operationally flexible, attainable, distributed) to space missions while reducing the ecosystem's reliance on consumable fuel. In a world where many companies are focused on incrementally improving the status quo, we are focused on creating something entirely different - an architecture underpinned by new first principles to meet the opportunities and challenges of the third space age head-on. Our goal is to move away from one-to-one space architectures - where each satellite in a constellation has one (or a small # of) primary payloads attached to the bus and unlock a 'one-to-many' system, where each satellite has a large number of payloads which can be deployed from their host spacecraft at high velocities without firing a thruster. This is not a role for someone looking for a traditional 40-hour work week. Space Kinetic is building ambitious, first-of-its-kind technology, and that requires urgency, ownership, and a high level of commitment to changing the foundational assumptions for everything we do in space. What You'll Do: The Principal Guidance, Navigation, and Control (GNC) Engineer will lead the development of an entirely new GNC architecture for Space Kinetic's first-of-its-kind spacecraft platform. You will own the GNC subsystem across its full lifecycle, from early concept development and algorithm design through simulation, hardware integration, verification, and mission operations. You will lead a cross-functional GNC team and collaborate with flight software, systems engineering, test, leadership, and external partners to deliver an integrated hardware and software solution. Job Responsibilities: Lead the GNC team and own the subsystem architecture, development schedule, requirements, interfaces, and technical milestones. Design and implement GNC algorithms for flight software and support their integration into the spacecraft platform. Lead GNC hardware trade studies, component selection, and the integration of internally and externally developed hardware and software. Conduct design analyses, Monte Carlo simulations, and hardware-in-the-loop testing to evaluate and validate system performance. Own subsystem verification and validation activities across simulation, testbed, and flight environments. Develop or contribute to ground tools used for mission and constellation management. Partner with subcontractors, internal teams, and senior leadership while supporting internal and external design reviews. What It Takes: Bachelor's degree in Aerospace Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related technical field. 7+ years of experience developing spacecraft GNC systems. Experience supporting spacecraft or satellite development and operations across the full project lifecycle. Experience developing GNC algorithms, conducting simulations, and performing hardware-in-the-loop testing. Ability to work cross-functionally across spacecraft subsystems and interface directly with commercial or government aerospace customers. Ability to obtain and maintain a U.S. Government security clearance. What We'd Love: Master's degree or PhD in Aerospace Engineering or a related field. Experience with flight software frameworks such as NASA cFS, F', or custom architectures. Familiarity with model-based systems engineering and interface control documentation. Where You'll Be: The position is onsite at our headquarters in El Segundo, CA. Domestic travel may be required (up to 20% of the year). What We Offer: Equity-Based Compensation 401(k) retirement plan with a 3.5% company match Highly Competitive PTO Paid company holidays + winter break Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision insurance Unique Performance-based bonus opportunities ITAR Requirements: To conform to U.S. Government export regulations, applicant must be a (i) U.S. citizen or national, (ii) U.S. lawful, permanent resident (aka green card holder), (iii) Refugee under 8 U.S.C. 1157, or (iv) Asylee under 8 U.S.C. 1158, or be eligible to obtain the required authorizations from the U.S. Department of State. Learn more about ITAR here Equal Employment Opportunity: Space Kinetic provides equal employment opportunities to all employees and applicants without regard to race, color, religion, age, sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, national origin, veteran status, disability or any other legally protected status. The annual base salary for this role is below. Pay Grades are determined by role, level, location, and alignment with market data. Individual pay will be determined on a case-by-case basis and may vary based on the following considerations: interviews and an assessment of several factors that are unique to each candidate, job-related skills, relevant education/experience, certifications, abilities of the candidate and internal equity.

The Forward Deployed Engineer, Operations & Sustainment is a highly technical, customer-facing role focused on deploying, supporting, and sustaining Hivemind products in real operating environments. This role bridges field deployment, customer operations, technical troubleshooting, training, and sustainment. This is a travel-intensive role. Candidates must be willing and able to travel at least 50% of the time, including frequent domestic and international trips, customer-site work, test events, training events, and multi-week deployments as program needs require. In this role, you will work directly with customers and internal teams to install, configure, validate, train, troubleshoot, and support Hivemind products. The role requires strong technical judgment, clear customer communication, comfort operating under field pressure, and the discipline to turn field lessons into durable support artifacts: runbooks, supported baselines, evidence packages, known-issue records, escalation paths, customer-safe updates, and product feedback. What you'll do: Deploy with customers on site globally, with a minimum expectation of 50% travel, to support installation, configuration, validation, training, troubleshooting, and sustainment of Hivemind products. Become an expert user of the Hivemind Enterprise software stack, autonomy modules, deployment tooling, supported configurations, and diagnostic workflows. Execute and improve deployment runbooks covering software install, version/configuration validation, licensing or provisioning status, pre-mission checks, log readiness, and acceptance steps. Provide hands-on technical support to customer operators, maintainers, partners, and internal field teams during deployment, test, training, demonstration, and sustainment windows. Capture and organize field evidence for triage, including logs, telemetry, recorded data, screenshots, version/configuration state, asset context, operator notes, mission phase, and environmental constraints. Drive issues through the support flow: intake, severity assessment, ownership, workaround or fix delivery, customer-safe status, closure, and learning loop. Convert recurring field issues, workarounds, customer questions, and training gaps into support tickets, knowledge-base content, known-issue records, runbooks, and product feedback. Partner with engineering, product, program, sustainment, licensing, safety, legal, commercial, and support teams to route issues to the right owner for seamless customer support.Support root-cause investigation and corrective-action validation by reproducing issues, collecting field context, testing updates, and confirming fixes or workarounds. Support Field Service Representative-style obligations when required by contract, including on-site support posture, issue intake, operator assistance, troubleshooting, documentation, escalation, and evidence capture. Projects you might work on: Deploying Hivemind software and autonomy capabilities during customer integration events, exercises, test campaigns, demonstrations, or operational support windows. Building deployment-to-sustainment handoff packages with supported baselines, configuration checklists, evidence checklists, known issues, escalation contacts, and training material. Standing up a repeatable support flow so field issues move from informal chats and ad hoc engineering asks into a durable support hub, severity model, owner route, and closure loop. Troubleshooting field behavior across software, autonomy, networking, telemetry, configuration, sensors, operator workflows, and customer environment constraints. Creating customer-safe documentation that helps operators and maintainers self-serve routine issues while preserving the right escalation path for mission-critical problems. Required qualifications: Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Computer Science, Robotics, Aerospace, or a related technical field, or equivalent practical experience. 5+ years of experience in field engineering, forward-deployed engineering, applications engineering, systems integration, flight test, robotics support, unmanned systems operations, technical operations, customer deployment, or a similar hands-on technical role. Strong technical background in software engineering, systems integration, or autonomy-adjacent systems. Proficiency writing, reading, and debugging modern C++ code. Working proficiency with Python, Bash, or similar scripting for diagnostics, automation, data handling, and field support workflows. Strong troubleshooting skills across Linux or embedded systems, networking, configuration management, logs, telemetry, release packages, sensors or payloads, and operator workflows. Excellent problem-solving, communication, training, expectation-management, and escalation skills in customer-facing environments. Ability to write clear field notes, deployment records, troubleshooting guides, evidence packages, and support updates that engineering and support teams can act on. Willingness and ability to travel at least 50% of the time, including frequent domestic and international travel and multi-week deployments. Ability to operate professionally in lab, flight-test, range, customer-site, and field environments under time pressure. Ability to comply with export-control, security, safety, sensitive-data, customer-site, and mission-specific operating requirements. Preferred qualifications: Experience with autonomy, robotics, defense aviation, unmanned aircraft, deployed defense systems, flight test, payload integration, sensors, operator systems, or edge compute environments. Experience supporting defense, government, allied, or international customers in operational, test, training, or overseas environments. Experience building or scaling a support, field-service, customer-success, sustainment, or applications-engineering function during an early product rollout. Experience with enterprise software deployment, customer support, licensing, provisioning, release management, configuration baselines, or offline/air-gapped operating environments. Hands-on experience with recorded-data analysis, diagnostic tooling, telemetry review, networking tools, system health checks, or support automation. FAA Part 107, military aviation or maintenance background, UAS operator experience, flight-test experience, systems engineering experience, or prior Field Service Representative experience. Experience using GenAI tools to accelerate troubleshooting, documentation, knowledge capture, data review, or support workflow automation. Active or prior security clearance, or eligibility to obtain one when required by program or customer need. Senior Engineer: $152000-$228,000 Staff Engineer: $181,000-$272,000 Senior Staff Engineer: $212,000-$318,000 Full-time regular employee offer package: Pay within range listed + Bonus + Benefits + Equity Temporary employee offer package: Pay within range listed above + temporary benefits package (applicable after 60 days of employment) Salary compensation is influenced by a wide array of factors including but not limited to skill set, level of experience, licenses and certifications, and specific work location.
