Top Tech Jobs & Startup Jobs in Austin, TX

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

Design, develop, test, and support hypergolic in-space propulsion hardware (main and attitude engines, valves, tanks). Own integration, manufacturing, test procedures, flight operations, risk trade studies, automation, and data analysis for propulsion systems.

Lead vehicle-level architecture and interdisciplinary optimization for spacecraft programs. Serve as primary technical authority across lifecycle, conduct system trades, manage mass/power/data budgets and technical risk, chair design reviews, support operations and anomaly resolution, mentor engineering staff, and coordinate across Production, QA, Program Management, and customers.

Serve as the primary supply chain lead for spacecraft programs: translate schedules into material demand plans, manage BOM risk, secure long-lead components, negotiate contracts and SLAs, evaluate suppliers, maintain readiness metrics, support cost control, and coordinate cross-functional stakeholders and vendor performance.

The role involves leading product transitions, owning fabrication and assembly processes, continuous improvement, and conducting design reviews for propulsion systems.

The Senior Hardware Design Engineer will lead circuit card development, collaborate with teams on avionics platforms, and troubleshoot designs for space applications.

The Propulsion Engineer II will design, develop, and deliver propulsion components, manage product lifecycle, and lead cross-functional teams for high-performance valve systems.

Lead spacecraft mission operations for the Blue Ghost lunar program: architect ground systems and ConOps, produce flight operations products, run simulations and training, validate system readiness, and execute missions from planning through real-time console operations and anomaly response.

Define and implement avionics requirements, architecture, and subsystem designs. Coordinate cross-discipline requirements, develop test and verification plans, automate data analysis and HIL testing, support integration, vehicle testing, and launch operations.

Lead and grow the Blue Ghost flight software team to develop, integrate, verify, and support mission-critical lunar lander software. Manage staffing, execution across requirements/design/implementation/testing, coordinate with cross-functional teams, oversee budgets and roadmaps, and support mission readiness, operations, and anomaly response while improving software processes and standards.
