Top Tech Jobs & Startup Jobs in Austin, TX

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.

Lead manufacturing cost and inventory accounting: month-end close, cost maintenance, variance analysis, ERP accuracy, cycle counts, cost-driver modeling, SOX/audit support, and cross-functional process improvements.

Perform orbit determination and navigation analysis for LEO and cislunar missions: process tracking data, develop and tune filters, maintain high-fidelity force models, produce ephemerides and covariances, support flight operations, verify/validate models and software, and document technical results while mentoring junior engineers.

Design and optimize spacecraft trajectories and maneuver sequences for LEO and cislunar missions; develop targeting algorithms, error budgets, contingency plans, and verification tests; support flight operations and maneuver reconstruction; collaborate across teams to translate designs into executable commands; author technical documentation and mentor junior engineers.

The role involves leading the transition of propulsion products to production, creating assembly instructions, process improvement, and troubleshooting failures. Requires teamwork and communication to ensure successful engine assembly and testing for spacecraft.

Design, deploy, and operate cloud and on-premises infrastructure for mission-critical spacecraft ground systems. Manage Kubernetes containerized workloads, CI/CD pipelines, AWS cloud services, IaC, observability, streaming data platforms, authentication/authorization, and incident response to ensure scalable, secure, and highly available mission operations.

Design, develop, and manage propulsion components and systems for launch vehicles. Lead cross-functional teams, improve cost efficiency, and ensure product quality through rigorous testing.

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

Develop mechanical separation and interfacing systems, perform analysis and design, generate CAD drawings, and ensure compliance with aerospace standards.
