Top Tech Jobs & Startup Jobs in Austin, TX

As a System Configuration Engineer, you will manage vehicle-level configuration, oversee CAD integration, maintain traceability, and coordinate with design and manufacturing teams.

Design, develop, test, and qualify high-performance valves, regulators, and fluid components across the product lifecycle. Lead reviews, author and run qualification/acceptance tests, support production, standardize solutions, drive cost and risk reductions, perform simulations and failure investigations, and coordinate cross-functional teams to deliver hardware on schedule.

Provide technical leadership and ownership of spacecraft and launch vehicle electrical and avionics architectures. Define requirements, oversee design, integration, verification, and qualification of power, C&DH, comms, harnessing, FPGA/firmware, and PCB hardware. Lead reviews, trade studies, risk assessments, test strategies, anomaly resolution, and mentor engineering teams while driving reusable modular architectures and technology roadmap.

Design, develop, test and integrate embedded flight software for spacecraft. Collaborate with engineers, optimize firmware for performance and conduct code reviews.

Design, develop, test, and integrate embedded flight firmware for microcontrollers and processors in bare-metal or RTOS environments. Implement low-level drivers and communication protocols, collaborate with hardware teams to debug integrations, optimize for power/performance, participate in code reviews, and validate system-level performance. Optionally support FPGA integration and custom OS builds.

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.

Design, analyze, test, and operate in-space propulsion hardware (main and attitude engines, valves, tanks). Lead development, qualification, and acceptance testing, create manufacturing and integration processes, perform flight operations, identify risks and trade studies, and develop automation and test data analysis tools while collaborating across disciplines.

Lead design, analysis, development, and qualification of payload segments and mechanical spacecraft interfaces. Produce CAD, drawings, perform FEA and hand calculations, define tests to industry standards, support builds/integration, and mentor junior engineers while collaborating with cross-functional teams and customers.

Lead design, analysis, test, and qualification of spacecraft fluid and propulsion subsystems from concept through flight. Own requirements, CAD/analysis, hardware development, integration, and test; coordinate manufacturing and operations; perform trade studies, risk identification, and data-driven decisions; develop automation and test-analysis tools; support flight and launch campaigns and troubleshoot fluid system operations.

Perform structural analysis for spacecraft, launch vehicles, and ground support using hand calculations and FEA (ANSYS, NX Nastran). Develop test requirements, validate models with test data, review analyses, define material properties and part changes, and write strength and stability margins to meet program safety factors.
