Jobs at Varda Space Industries

Design, implement, and verify reliable embedded firmware (bare metal, RTOS, or Linux) in C++ for spacecraft and reentry systems. Own requirements, design, testing, integration, and flight operational support, and ensure system quality through V&V.

Design, implement, and validate mission-critical embedded firmware for spacecraft and reentry capsules. Own requirements capture, architecture, integration, testing, and flight operational support. Write bare-metal, RTOS, or Linux-based C++ code and apply V&V techniques to ensure system reliability and performance throughout the mission lifecycle.

Design, implement, and verify flight software for spacecraft and reentry capsules. Write high-quality C++ for bare-metal, RTOS, or Linux embedded processors. Own requirements capture, design, testing, integration, and V&V. Scope projects, perform design trades, and provide flight operational support while collaborating across teams.

Develop and own flight software for spacecraft and reentry capsules using C++ on bare metal, RTOS, or Linux. Responsibilities include requirements capture, design, testing, integration, and verification/validation to ensure system performance and reliability in safety-critical missions.

Design, implement, test, and integrate embedded flight software for spacecraft using C++ on bare metal, RTOS, or Linux. Capture requirements, scope projects, perform verification and validation, and support flight operations in a collaborative team.

Design, implement, test, and support flight software for spacecraft, satellite buses, and reentry capsules. Develop embedded C++ code for bare-metal, RTOS, or Linux targets; capture requirements, perform V&V, integrate with hardware, and provide flight operations support. Collaborate across teams to scope projects and ensure system reliability and performance.

Design, develop, test, and integrate reliable embedded flight firmware (bare metal, RTOS, or Linux) in C++ for spacecraft, covering requirements capture through V&V and flight support.

Hands-on manufacturing engineering internship supporting assembly and integration of spacecraft and reentry systems. Contribute to factory design, create or improve production processes, optimize hardware for manufacturability, and support production operations and build tasks.

On-site cybersecurity internship supporting InfoSec team: triage daily alerts, tune and maintain security tools, collect and organize logs for audit, manage vendor reports, upload compliance artifacts, and deliver an end-to-end project (e.g., logging gap report or incident response refresh).

Work on mission and flight software for spacecraft: build C++/Python tools and libraries, automate simulation and hardware-in-the-loop testing, debug across OS/networking/hardware boundaries, and collaborate with flight, embedded, and operations teams under mentor guidance.

Full-time on-site internship supporting supply chain operations: improve inventory flow, define supplier quality, lead RFQs and purchasing, refine MRP planning and BOM completeness, and build analytics dashboards and reports to support supply chain decision-making and continuous improvement.

Work on the Structures Team to design, build, and test mechanical elements for in-orbit spacecraft and ground support equipment. Perform trade studies using physics-driven approaches, generate CAD models and engineering drawings, and build/test development and flight hardware.

Work on spacecraft fluid and propulsion systems: contribute to hardware/software design, build and run test campaigns and test stands, and perform analyses to support development and testing of thrusters, tanks, and plumbing.

Hands-on internship supporting assembly, integration, and verification of spacecraft and reentry systems. Work includes hardware/software design support, system test campaign development, analysis to support verification, test automation, GSE design, and procedure generation. Interns gain experience with flight hardware, test operations, and real-time troubleshooting on-site in Los Angeles.

Full-time, on-site spring internship supporting Varda's Site Reliability team. Deploy and manage services in AKS with Argo CD, assist system patching and maintenance, upgrade Atlassian tooling, contribute to infrastructure-as-code and Linux scripting, and monitor/automate operations to improve uptime and performance.

Work on design, build, test, and operation of spacecraft/payload electromechanical hardware. Support hardware/software design, create and run test campaigns, build test stands, and perform analyses. Collaborate cross-functionally and fabricate parts using hand and machine tools.

Support GNC design, analysis, simulation, and testing for reentry vehicles. Develop and validate control, navigation, and guidance algorithms, integrate sensors/actuators, run 6DOF and Monte Carlo simulations, and perform trajectory design and optimization. Work full-time on-site with the GNC team on mission-critical tooling and HIL/simulation environments.

Work with stakeholders to build and maintain integrations, data pipelines, dashboards, and internal tools. Gather requirements, document workflows and sources, support rollout/configuration, and troubleshoot internal applications to surface operational data across engineering, supply chain, finance, and operations.

Lead development, deployment, and administration of engineering applications (PLM/CAD/PDM/MBSE). Build integrations, ETL pipelines, dashboards, and AI-powered tools. Improve workflows, ensure data integrity and compliance (AS9100/CMMC), support audits, and drive user training and adoption across engineering teams.
