Designs and validates avionics enclosures, mounts, batteries, and crew-interface components for human-rated space stations. Responsibilities include mechanical design, thermal and structural analysis, electronics packaging, requirements validation, testing, technical documentation, assembly drawings, and hardware-build support. The role partners closely with electrical engineering and supports mission-critical avionics development in extreme environments.

Design and develop thermal control systems and components for human-rated artificial-gravity space stations. Lead design trades, fluid analyses, manufacturing process iteration, testing, design reviews, systems integration, and project delivery through production, launch, and orbit insertion. Ensure designs are manufacturable, reliable, and optimized through structural analysis, failure investigation, trade studies, and collaboration with suppliers, customers, technicians, and interdisciplinary engineering teams.

Senior Photo Editor responsible for processing photography from backlog through final delivery, managing ingest and archiving workflows, creating reusable presets, and establishing consistent color, lighting, and retouching standards. The role also supports on-set Digitech work and occasional product, hardware, portrait, or event photography. This is a hands-on, onsite, 60-day fixed-term position in Long Beach, California.

Source and engage technical engineering talent for Vast’s human-rated space systems. Develop targeted sourcing strategies, build candidate pipelines, conduct initial screens, and partner with recruiters and hiring managers on role requirements. Manage candidate activity, sourcing priorities, competing requisitions, talent market mapping, and competitive intelligence while using ATS, LinkedIn Recruiter, Boolean search, and AI-powered sourcing platforms.

Develops and executes avionics test campaigns for human-rated space station flight hardware. Responsibilities include writing and maintaining test procedures, planning and directing integration tests, evaluating safety and quality requirements, managing test schedules, assessing risks, resolving nonconformances, and exercising technical authority during testing events. The role collaborates with engineering teams, subject matter experts, and technicians to verify vehicle-level systems and transition designs into tested flight-ready hardware.

Own end-to-end avionics box development for a scalable satellite bus, including make/buy/reuse decisions, schematic and layout, procurement, PCBA fabrication, board bring-up, radiation and environmental qualification, harness design, flight builds, and production-rate design. Coordinate parallel hardware developments, testing, design reviews, and collaboration with Haven-1 avionics teams.

Develop and optimize manufacturing and assembly processes for avionics and wire harnesses. Create manufacturing plans and work instructions, perform hands-on assembly/integration/testing, resolve manufacturing issues via root-cause analysis, work with suppliers and QA, participate in design reviews, and drive continuous improvement.

Own thermal architecture, analysis, modeling, and validation for a high-power, constellation-ready spacecraft bus. Responsibilities include evaluating passive and active thermal-control approaches, sizing radiators, managing thermal budgets, selecting coatings and materials, planning TVAC campaigns, correlating models to test data, and supporting solar-array and avionics thermal design. The engineer will begin as the sole thermal specialist and build a team as spacecraft production scales.

Design and integrate rugged avionics enclosures, mounts, and brackets for human-rated space stations. Responsibilities include electronics packaging, interface documentation, requirements validation, thermal and structural analysis, engineering drawings, configuration management, hardware builds, and environmental qualification testing. The role collaborates closely with electrical engineering teams throughout the flight-critical product lifecycle and supports mission-critical testing and integration.

Guide the design, verification, validation, and reliability of thermal fluids, environmental control, and life support systems for Haven-1. Lead FMEA, fault-tree analysis, design reviews, risk mitigation, test planning, configuration management, and engineering standards. Partner with hardware, manufacturing, software, and risk teams to ensure human-rated systems meet design intent, reliability goals, and qualification requirements throughout development and integration.
