Jobs at Firefly Aerospace

Design and develop end-to-end circuit cards and avionics hardware including schematic capture, PCB layout, component selection, simulations, prototyping, troubleshooting, and integration with cross-functional teams for flight and qualification following aerospace guidelines.

As a DevOps Engineer II, you will design, implement, and maintain DevOps solutions, automate deployment pipelines, and optimize infrastructure for space operations.

As an Avionics Intern, you will assist in developing electrical designs for launch vehicles, support testing, and learn aerospace design guidelines.

Lead engineering and technician teams to design, build, operate, and maintain spacecraft Hardware-in-the-Loop testbeds (FlatSat, RackSat, PIT). Provide hands-on technical leadership, balance resources across programs, partner on common infrastructure, manage staffing and performance, report status and risks, and drive continuous improvement to support spacecraft integration, verification, and mission readiness.

Design and optimize spacecraft trajectories and maneuver sequences for missions, develop targeting algorithms, and support operational spacecraft missions while mentoring junior engineers.

The Principal ADCS Engineer leads technical strategies for spacecraft ADCS systems, mentoring engineers and driving capability development for complex space missions.

The Principal GNC Engineer will lead technical strategies for launch vehicle guidance, navigation, and control systems, mentor engineers, and develop innovative solutions for complex missions.

The GNC Engineer III will design and implement control systems for launch vehicles, develop flight software, perform testing, and mentor junior engineers.

Develop and execute spacecraft functional and system-level test procedures, build and maintain automated test scripts and HWIL testbeds, troubleshoot telemetry and test data, support cleanroom/environmental/launch site operations, and contribute to test automation, dashboards, and continuous improvement to verify flight readiness.

Design and implement control systems for spacecraft, ensuring accurate orientation and functionality during missions, while mentoring junior engineers.

As a Senior GNC Engineer, you will design and optimize trajectories and guidance algorithms for launch vehicles, mentor junior engineers, and support mission feasibility assessments.

The Quality Specialist ensures spacecraft components meet specifications through inspections, audits, and preventive measures, improving processes and resolving issues.

Design and implement navigation systems and state estimation algorithms for launch vehicles, providing technical leadership and mentoring junior engineers in a fast-paced environment.

As a Spacecraft Systems Engineer, you will oversee the development of spacecraft, manage requirements and interfaces, and ensure successful mission execution through design reviews and test planning.

Lead vehicle-level architecture and interdisciplinary optimization across spacecraft programs. Serve as primary technical authority, conduct system trades and budget analyses, manage technical risk, chair design reviews, support mission operations and anomaly resolution, coordinate across engineering, production, QA, and customers, and mentor the Chief Engineering team to ensure mission readiness and engineering excellence.

Design, analyze, and operate launch vehicle GNC systems: develop and validate GNC and simulation software, perform 6DOF dynamics and stability analyses, tune attitude control and state estimation, run HIL tests, support launch operations and post-flight analysis, integrate with hardware, and author technical documentation.

The Senior Accountant will manage general ledger closes, financial reporting, internal controls compliance, and provide audit support, while collaborating with various departments.

The Principal Flight Dynamics Engineer leads technical strategies in spacecraft trajectory design, orbit determination, and maneuver planning, mentoring engineers and influencing mission capabilities in space operations.

Lead and grow the spacecraft ground software organization, set long-term architecture and technical vision, oversee development and operations of command/telemetry/mission planning systems, coordinate across engineering and operations, and ensure mission-ready, secure, and scalable ground software for launch and on-orbit activities.

Design and analyze ruggedized electronics packaging, electro-mechanical assemblies, and test fixtures for launch vehicles. Perform thermal, modal, and vibration analyses; develop CAD models, drawings, and documentation; support environmental test campaigns and collaborate with PCB and integration teams.
