Technical Recruiter

Reflect Orbital is building satellites that reflect sunlight back to Earth - unlocking unprecedented capabilities in both lighting and energy. We’re a venture-backed aerospace startup assembling a world-class team of engineers, operators, and builders. The talent you bring in will directly shape our capability, speed, and ambition.

We’re hiring a Technical Recruiter with deep experience in the aerospace industry to help us scale. This is not a back-office role - we’re looking for someone who’s out in the world, building relationships, mapping talent markets, and pulling future teammates into our mission.

• Hunt down top-tier engineering, manufacturing, and operations talent - wherever they are

• Lead outbound recruiting efforts for engineering, manufacturing, and technical operations roles

• Build and maintain pipelines of aerospace professionals across core disciplines (mechanical, GNC, avionics, manufacturing, test, systems)

• Engage top candidates with tailored outreach, personalized follow-up, and deep relationship-building

• Partner with hiring leads to define role requirements, align on candidate quality, and drive fast hiring decisions

• Represent Reflect Orbital at industry events, conferences, and in talent-facing forums

• 2–5 years of experience recruiting in the aerospace industry (either in-house or agency)

• Demonstrated success sourcing and closing world-class technical talent - especially engineers and hardware specialists

• Highly motivated, resourceful, and driven by results

• Exceptional communicator with a bias for action and follow-through

• Ability to manage a high volume of searches with urgency and precision

• Experience with Ashby or other modern applicant tracking systems

• Familiarity with ITAR/export-controlled hiring environments

• Background in hardware startups or high-growth tech companies

Even if you don't meet 100% of the above qualifications, we are likely still interested in hearing from you. Hiring exceptional individuals is our #1 priority, and we believe that exceptional people often have highly unusual backgrounds.

We are also interested in carving out unique roles for unconventional people that we are excited about working with.
