Owns Terran R vehicle RF systems, including architecture trades, link budgets, frequency planning, antenna coverage analysis, RF hardware development, integrated testing, and anomaly investigations. Establishes RF analysis standards, leads cross-disciplinary technical work, and mentors junior engineers. The role requires extensive flight-system RF experience, hands-on test equipment use, electromagnetic simulation, and Python or MATLAB automation.

Own manufacturing hardware from design release through delivery, developing build flows, work instructions, test procedures, and scalable production processes. Support first-article builds, troubleshoot hardware and non-conformances, conduct root-cause analysis, provide hands-on floor support, and coordinate design, supply chain, production, and test teams. Contribute to tooling, ERP/MES workflows, production documentation, and continuous improvement for aerospace fluid and mechanical assemblies.

Architect and deploy computer vision and perception systems for space-based missile defense. Develop C++ multi-band EO/IR image processing, physics-based feature extraction, object detection, tracking, and discrimination algorithms. Model infrared phenomenology, validate algorithms through high-fidelity software- and hardware-in-the-loop simulations, perform statistical performance analysis, and integrate reliable flight software for space-qualified processors.

Sources and builds engineering talent pipelines for near-term and future hiring needs. Partners with recruiters, leaders, and hiring managers to identify, attract, and assess technical candidates; uses recruiting tools, tracks workflow data, manages changing processes, and supports a positive candidate experience. This is a six-month temp-to-hire role based in Long Beach or Denver with hybrid onsite work.

Build Revel’s security program from the ground up, securing its product, infrastructure, cloud, on-premises, hardware-integrated environments, and software delivery pipelines. Responsibilities include threat modeling, security architecture, Infrastructure as Code, detection and incident response, vulnerability management, compliance with ITAR/NIST/CUI/CMMC requirements, customer security reviews, and security enablement. The role will establish foundational processes and may eventually lead a growing security team.

Own end-to-end power system architecture and power electronics development for lunar systems, including circuit design, simulations, PCB design, packaging, bring-up, validation, environmental qualification, and reliability analysis. Lead power architecture tradeoffs, radiation and thermal mitigation, fault-tolerant design, qualification campaigns, and technical reviews. Mentor junior engineers and establish scalable design standards and processes across programs.

Own end-to-end integration of customer payloads onto spacecraft from mission kickoff through launch and on-orbit commissioning. Serve as the primary customer technical interface, translate requirements into engineering plans, manage ICDs and verification closure, coordinate multidisciplinary engineering teams, oversee payload testing, track schedules and risks, support launch vehicle integration, and ensure export-control compliance.

Designs and manages complex multilayer avionics PCBs, including component libraries, placement, routing, fabrication and assembly drawings. Develops design standards and review checklists, manages software licenses, and coordinates PCB procurement with vendors. Collaborates with avionics, mechanical, and operations teams while owning PCB design outcomes for aerospace vehicles and ground support equipment.

Develop and maintain DevSecOps and GitOps capabilities, including CI/CD pipelines, automated testing, configuration management, containerized deployments, and infrastructure as code. Configure secure cloud-native and virtualized test environments, automate integration and deployment processes, monitor and troubleshoot systems, maintain requirements traceability, and collaborate with engineering teams, leadership, and government customers.

Leads electrical engineering projects for electric aircraft and eVTOL systems, overseeing electrical system and component design, circuit development, simulation, testing, troubleshooting, and compliance. Manages project budgets, timelines, and resources while guiding engineering teams and collaborating with cross-functional stakeholders. Develops PBA bills of materials, investigates circuit-card failures, documents test results, and supports advanced aerospace power electronics and flight-surface component development.

Develop and maintain model-based systems engineering architectures for a U.S. Space Force system-of-systems enterprise. Use Cameo and related digital engineering tools to manage requirements, traceability, system models, technical specifications, and architecture. Support integration, testing, deployment, sustainment, risk mitigation, and lifecycle planning. Maintain technical documentation and repositories, collaborate with government and contractor stakeholders, and produce engineering reports and decision-support materials.

Leads complex international military aviation electronics and sustainment programs, managing cross-functional teams, budgets, forecasts, earned value, schedules, technical objectives, customer relationships, contracts, and new business initiatives. The role requires financial and operational accountability, proposal development, international customer engagement, regulatory compliance, and occasional domestic and international travel.

Lead end-to-end flight software development for autonomous spacecraft, including mission operations tools, ground services, embedded vehicle software, telemetry, commanding, testing, simulation, and flight readiness. Collaborate with avionics, propulsion, GNC, and systems teams to define interfaces and data models. Support CI/CD, software- and hardware-in-the-loop testing, environmental testing, and flight campaigns in a fast-moving, on-site aerospace startup environment.
