Don't see what you're looking for in our other positions? No problem. Are you a rockstar? We’re looking for incredible people who love tackling all elements of a problem, no matter the field or experience level. If you love owning a challenge from end-to-end, then we want to hear from you! We’re looking for people curious, driven, and ready to move fast. You’ll need to be self-directed, adaptable, and eager to learn in a fast-paced environment where the stakes are high and the mission is clear.
Orbital Operations is developing a high thrust, reusable space vehicle for satellite defense. We protect critical satellites, like GPS and Military communication satellites, from adversarial threats, like China and Russia.
Our vehicle will use the exact same propulsion systems that launch vehicles have used for decades by implementing a cryogenic management system. This will give us over 100x the thrust or current in-space propulsion.
Ross and I have over 15 years of combined aerospace experience across NASA, Aerojet Rocketdyne, SpaceX, Blue Origin, and Relativity Space. We’ve worked side by side for more than 3.5 years developing propulsion systems, turbomachinery, and building our own respective engineering teams.
We are currently working on the first demo of our unique cryo management system and intend to launch an operational vehicle by 2027.

No applications, no recruiter spam. Just the intro.
A few questions to make sure this role is the right shape for you. Two minutes.
I write the intro, send it to the founder, and handle the back-and-forth.
If they’re a yes, I book the chat. You show up — that’s the whole job-hunt.
