Meridian is building a fundamentally new model for sovereign space infrastructure—delivering complete, owned Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite constellations that provide governments and commercial operators with full control, assured access, and sovereign communications capability at a fraction of the cost of developing these systems independently.

Backed by leading venture capital investors and engineering partners, we are rapidly scaling the design, production, and deployment of the satellites, ground systems, and network infrastructure that will power Meridian's next-generation constellations.

Joining Meridian means working at the forefront of one of the world's most ambitious space programs underway today - designing and building constellations that will put sovereign connectivity within reach of nations and operators worldwide. You'll be part of a close-knit, collaborative team that thrives in a fast-paced, innovative environment, where your work directly advances the design, development, and deployment of satellite constellations that governments and enterprises around the world will depend on for secure, resilient, and sovereign connectivity.


Your Mission on the Team: 

In this role you will be responsible for developing software tools that accelerate, streamline and organize engineering development within the organization. This includes:

  • Creating infrastructure for high volume automated testing, data collection, analysis and reporting.
  • Creating pipelines to organize and evaluate engineering trade studies through config management, version control, automated analysis workflows, visualization tools and comparison tools.
  • Supporting infrastructure development for satellite technology demonstrations.


Basic Qualifications

  • B.S. in computer science, software engineering, or a related technical field
  • Strong proficiency in modern Python: type hints, testing, packaging, idiomatic library design
  • Comfort with structured data formats and validation (YAML, JSON, pydantic or equivalent)
  • Proficiency with Git workflows and CI/CD pipelines
  • Experience writing and maintaining unit and integration tests
  • Proficiency on Linux and the command line
  • Demonstrated ability to build tools that other engineers actually adopt
  • Ability to work autonomously and exercise good engineering judgement 
  • Strong interpersonal, verbal communication, and written communication skills 

Preferred Qualifications

  • 3+ years of professional software development experience
  • Experience building data pipelines around automated test — capturing results, organizing them, making them queryable
  • Hands-on experience automating lab test equipment
  • Proficiency with instrument control: SCPI, VISA, PyVISA, IVI, GPIB, LXI
  • Experience with the scientific Python stack: NumPy, SciPy, pandas
  • Experience with visualization: matplotlib, Plotly, or web-based dashboards (Streamlit, Dash, Panel)
  • Workflow orchestration (Airflow, Prefect, Dagster, or similar)
  • Time-series or experiment-tracking systems (InfluxDB, TimescaleDB, MLflow, or similar)
  • Containerization (Docker) and reproducible environments
  • Prior experience in fast-moving startup engineering environments

What you need to know about the Los Angeles Tech Scene

Los Angeles is a global leader in entertainment, so it’s no surprise that many of the biggest players in streaming, digital media and game development call the city home. But the city boasts plenty of non-entertainment innovation as well, with tech companies spanning verticals like AI, fintech, e-commerce and biotech. With major universities like Caltech, UCLA, USC and the nearby UC Irvine, the city has a steady supply of top-flight tech and engineering talent — not counting the graduates flocking to Los Angeles from across the world to enjoy its beaches, culture and year-round temperate climate.

Key Facts About Los Angeles Tech

  • Number of Tech Workers: 375,800; 5.5% of overall workforce (2024 CompTIA survey)
  • Major Tech Employers: Snap, Netflix, SpaceX, Disney, Google
  • Key Industries: Artificial intelligence, adtech, media, software, game development
  • Funding Landscape: $11.6 billion in venture capital funding in 2024 (Pitchbook)
  • Notable Investors: Strong Ventures, Fifth Wall, Upfront Ventures, Mucker Capital, Kittyhawk Ventures
  • Research Centers and Universities: California Institute of Technology, UCLA, University of Southern California, UC Irvine, Pepperdine, California Institute for Immunology and Immunotherapy, Center for Quantum Science and Engineering
