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. Ability to work in a fast paced, autonomously driven atmosphere. Passion for space and the application of advanced estimation and control techniques in this domain Additional Qualifications: Experience with implementing optimal control for burn planning Experience with satellite maneuvering and thruster systems Demonstrated project or professional experience in satellite attitude determination and control Experience in end-to-end development of three axis stabilized spacecraft incorporating momentum, magnetic, and/or propulsive control. Experience with flexible body control, orbital maneuvering, filtering, fault management, software development, and navigation filtering. Responsibilities: Modeling, design, analysis, implementation and test of satellite attitude determination and control (ADCS) algorithms. Hardware performance specification including reaction wheel and torque rod sizing, sensor noise and performance, characteristics, redundancy and fault management. Define and own ADCS requirements definition with electrical and mechanical engineers Implement closed loop pointing, orbit raising, and station keeping algorithms for flight. Analyze platform stability to ensure low jitter of line-of-sight instruments. Develop high fidelity 6 degree of freedom satellite simulations using Python, Matlab or C++. Develop entry guidance, entry corridor and reachability analysis, deorbit burn targeting, aerothermal and load-constrained trajectory shaping. Develop EKF and UKF with GNSS, IMU, air data, radar or laser altimetry, magnetometers, and optical or terrain-relative sensors; sensor error modeling and calibration; GNSS-denied or degraded navigation, including through plasma blackout. Implement control of aerodynamically unstable or marginally stable vehicles, gain scheduling and robust control across wide Mach and dynamic pressure ranges, actuator and effector allocation, autonomous mode sequencing and abort logic. Support flight test campaigns at test sites - test planning, instrumentation requirements, real-time support, and flight data reconstruction. Compensation & Benefits: Salary: Principal: $190,000- $225,00, based on experience Additional Compensation: Annual performance-based bonuses that reward your impact.

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. Ability to work in a fast paced, autonomously driven atmosphere. Passion for space and the application of advanced estimation and control techniques in this domain Additional Qualifications: Experience with implementing optimal control for burn planning Experience with satellite maneuvering and thruster systems Demonstrated project or professional experience in satellite attitude determination and control Experience in end-to-end development of three axis stabilized spacecraft incorporating momentum, magnetic, and/or propulsive control. Experience with flexible body control, orbital maneuvering, filtering, fault management, software development, and navigation filtering. Responsibilities: Modeling, design, analysis, implementation and test of satellite attitude determination and control (ADCS) algorithms. Hardware performance specification including reaction wheel and torque rod sizing, sensor noise and performance, characteristics, redundancy and fault management. Define and own ADCS requirements definition with electrical and mechanical engineers Implement closed loop pointing, orbit raising, and station keeping algorithms for flight. Analyze platform stability to ensure low jitter of line-of-sight instruments. Develop high fidelity 6 degree of freedom satellite simulations using Python, Matlab or C++. Develop entry guidance, entry corridor and reachability analysis, deorbit burn targeting, aerothermal and load-constrained trajectory shaping. Develop EKF and UKF with GNSS, IMU, air data, radar or laser altimetry, magnetometers, and optical or terrain-relative sensors; sensor error modeling and calibration; GNSS-denied or degraded navigation, including through plasma blackout. Implement control of aerodynamically unstable or marginally stable vehicles, gain scheduling and robust control across wide Mach and dynamic pressure ranges, actuator and effector allocation, autonomous mode sequencing and abort logic. Support flight test campaigns at test sites - test planning, instrumentation requirements, real-time support, and flight data reconstruction. Compensation & Benefits: Salary: Principal: $190,000- $225,00, based on experience Additional Compensation: Annual performance-based bonuses that reward your impact.

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.

Job Description Job Description Overview First Resonance builds the ION Factory OS - the operating system powering next-generation manufacturing for companies building rockets, satellites, eVTOLs, clean energy systems, robotics, and autonomous vehicles. We've invested heavily in forward-deployed engineers at the customer edge. Now we're strengthening the hub. We're hiring a Principal Platform Engineer to serve as a platform leader: someone with deep expertise in software infrastructure and architecture who has built and operated scaled, high-uptime systems . This person will help us scale our backend, raise our reliability and performance bar, and provide sharp technical judgment on infrastructure changes. What you'll do Own platform architecture at scale: Evaluate and evolve our backend architecture to support growth in customers, data volume, and product surface area. Drive reliability and uptime: Establish and improve reliability practices (SLOs/SLIs, incident response, postmortems, on-call effectiveness, capacity planning). Performance leadership: Identify systemic performance bottlenecks; lead initiatives across databases, APIs, caching, async processing, and observability. Review and de-risk change: Provide fast, high-quality technical assessment of infrastructure proposals and incoming changes (internal and vendor-driven). Build leverage for the team: Create scalable primitives (libraries, patterns, tooling, platform services) that enable product and forward-deployed teams to ship faster with less risk. Operational excellence: Improve monitoring, alerting, dashboards, deployment safety, and rollback strategies. Mentor and set the technical bar: Coach engineers on architecture, operational maturity, and high-quality execution; lead by example through hands-on delivery. Partner cross-functionally: Work closely with Product, Security, and field-deployed engineers to balance edge/customer urgency with platform durability. What success looks like (first 90 days) Produce a clear, prioritized platform assessment : current-state risks, near-term hardening plan, and a 6-12 month scaling roadmap. Reduce risk on critical paths by improving observability (service health, latency/error budgets, key dashboards) and deployment safety .

Job Description Job Description Overview First Resonance builds the ION Factory OS - the operating system powering next-generation manufacturing for companies building rockets, satellites, eVTOLs, clean energy systems, robotics, and autonomous vehicles. We've invested heavily in forward-deployed engineers at the customer edge. Now we're strengthening the hub. We're hiring a Principal Platform Engineer to serve as a platform leader: someone with deep expertise in software infrastructure and architecture who has built and operated scaled, high-uptime systems . This person will help us scale our backend, raise our reliability and performance bar, and provide sharp technical judgment on infrastructure changes. What you'll do Own platform architecture at scale: Evaluate and evolve our backend architecture to support growth in customers, data volume, and product surface area. Drive reliability and uptime: Establish and improve reliability practices (SLOs/SLIs, incident response, postmortems, on-call effectiveness, capacity planning). Performance leadership: Identify systemic performance bottlenecks; lead initiatives across databases, APIs, caching, async processing, and observability. Review and de-risk change: Provide fast, high-quality technical assessment of infrastructure proposals and incoming changes (internal and vendor-driven). Build leverage for the team: Create scalable primitives (libraries, patterns, tooling, platform services) that enable product and forward-deployed teams to ship faster with less risk. Operational excellence: Improve monitoring, alerting, dashboards, deployment safety, and rollback strategies. Mentor and set the technical bar: Coach engineers on architecture, operational maturity, and high-quality execution; lead by example through hands-on delivery. Partner cross-functionally: Work closely with Product, Security, and field-deployed engineers to balance edge/customer urgency with platform durability. What success looks like (first 90 days) Produce a clear, prioritized platform assessment : current-state risks, near-term hardening plan, and a 6-12 month scaling roadmap. Reduce risk on critical paths by improving observability (service health, latency/error budgets, key dashboards) and deployment safety . Lead at least one high-impact initiative that materially improves uptime, performance, or developer velocity .

We co-design chips, racks, software, and manufacturing to deliver best-in-class throughput and latency across both prefill and decode workloads. Our first products are heavily focused on inference . Backed by hundreds of millions from top-tier investors and staffed by leading engineers, Etched is redefining the infrastructure layer for the fastest growing industry in history. Job Summary Etched's infrastructure spans some of the most sensitive compute environments in the industry: bare-metal HPC clusters running proprietary ASIC workloads, hybrid on-prem/cloud deployments, and internal toolchains that house irreplaceable chip design IP. As we scale from early silicon to production, securing these environments is foundational - not an afterthought. As our first dedicated Network Security Engineer, you will own the design and implementation of Etched's network security posture end to end. You'll work alongside the infrastructure team to harden our physical and virtual networks, enforce least-privilege access to chip design environments, and build the detection and response capabilities that keep our most sensitive assets safe. This is a high-ownership role for someone who wants to shape security architecture at a company building the compute infrastructure for the next decade of AI - not maintain someone else's stack. Key Responsibilities Design and implement a zero-trust network architecture across on-prem datacenters, multiple office locations, and multi-cloud platforms, including secure remote access that eliminates VPN sprawl without sacrificing engineer usability and speed Define and enforce network segmentation policies that isolate sensitive ASIC development workflows from general infrastructure, customer access, validation labs, and manufacturing infrastructure Balancing prevention and detection, deploy, tune, and operate NDR, IDS/IPS, and next-generation firewalls across our physical and virtual network fabric; build automation to continuously assess and enforce firewall rules, ACLs, and routing policies -

whether engineers are on-site, remote, or traveling - replacing location-dependent trust with continuous identity and device health verification Design and implement a scalable NDR pipeline that ingests flow data across bare-metal switches and cloud VPCs, feeds a centralized SIEM, and generates actionable alerts with low false-positive rates Develop runbooks and automated playbooks for the highest-probability incident scenarios - credential compromise, lateral movement, and exfiltration from IP-sensitive environments Integrate EDR/XDR telemetry with SASE enforcement and CASB inline controls to build a unified DLP detection and response pipeline spanning endpoints, cloud SaaS, and the corporate network Partner with end-user and IT teams to roll out MDM/MAM policies that containerize sensitive IP on engineer devices and enforce compliance-based conditional access across managed and unmanaged environments You may be a good fit if you have (Must-have qualifications) Bring deep, broad networking expertise - from low-level packet analysis and firewall log forensics to BGP configuration, multi-cloud networking, and CASB/SASE integration across a diverse SaaS landscape Have hands-on experience with the Fortinet ecosystem - firewalls, FortiSASE, FortiAPs, and switches - and are comfortable with Arista switch platforms, including configuration, EOS automation, and integration into a broader security architecture Treat security as an engineering discipline: you write code and automation rather than relying on point-and-click tooling, version-control your configurations, and develop intent-driven network automation Have experience securing high-value compute environments - datacenters, HPC clusters, semiconductor design environments, or similar settings where the cost of a breach is extremely high Have deployed and integrated EDR/XDR, MDM/MAM, SASE, and CASB tooling, and understand how to stitch them together into a unified DLP and access control framework that spans endpoints, cloud, and the network Have built or operated ZTNA-based access models and understand how to enforce consistent security posture across on-site, remote, and traveling users without degrading the experience for engineers Are comfortable owning your domain with minimal oversight: you can independently scope a project, identify the right tooling, and drive it to completion Have strong Linux fundamentals and understand how OS-level networking (iptables/nftables, network namespaces, eBPF) interacts with physical and virtual network security controls Have built or operated network security monitoring at scale - you know the difference between a good alert and noise, and you can architect a detection pipeline that surfaces real signal Can communicate risk clearly to both technical peers and non-technical leadership, and can translate security requirements into actionable infrastructure changes Strong candidates may also have experience with (Nice-to-have qualifications) Experience with EDA environments or semiconductor IP security Familiarity with cloud-native network security controls on AWS, GCP, or Azure (security groups, VPC flow logs, cloud firewalls, CSPM) Background in or exposure to NIST, SOC 2, or ISO 27001 frameworks Experience with eBPF-based network observability and security tooling Benefits Medical, dental, and vision packages with generous premium coverage $500 per month credit for waiving medical benefits Housing subsidy of $2,500 per month for those living within walking distance of the office Relocation support for those moving to San Jose (Santana Row) Various wellness benefits covering fitness, mental health, and more Daily lunch and dinner in our office Unlimited compute budget subject to ROI justification How we're different Etched believes in the Bitter Lesson.

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.

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.
