Overview
We are seeking a passionate and experienced Senior Electrical Engineer to join our team in Washington, DC. The ideal candidate has a strong background in satellite technology, with a deep understanding of both the practical and theoretical aspects of electrical engineering in the space industry. This role requires a hands-on approach, the ability to design, develop, and test complex electrical systems for our satellite subsystems, and a strong team-oriented mindset. We’re a close-knit, mission-aligned team that likes building side by side in our DC office, and we’re looking for someone with startup DNA who moves fast and wants real ownership of the hardware flying on the next generation of spacecraft. With an oversubscribed funding round just closed and several high-stakes projects underway with NASA and the U.S. Space Force, we’re paving the way for the future of spaceflight, and this is your chance to help build it from the ground up.
