Building the orbital infrastructure layer for AI compute, starting with autonomous data centers in space.
Computer Hardware Engineer
We're putting server racks where the sun never sets and the cold never quits—orbit. As our first dedicated hardware engineer, you'll own the design and integration of compute payloads that have to survive launch, operate in vacuum, and run for years without a service call. This means PCB design for radiation tolerance, thermal management in microgravity, and robotic serviceability baked into every subassembly. You'll work directly alongside our small engineering team in Los Angeles, turning clean-sheet concepts into flight hardware that makes terrestrial data centers look thermally constrained and physically timid.
What they're looking for
- 5+ years designing and bringing up custom PCB assemblies for harsh environments (aerospace, automotive, industrial, or defense)
- Deep fluency in high-speed digital design, power delivery, and thermal simulation across wide temperature swings
- Hands-on prototyping and debugging with oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and environmental test chambers
- Experience integrating compute modules, FPGAs, or GPUs into mechanical enclosures with tight SWaP constraints
- Comfortable in a small, high-autonomy team where you define your own tooling, processes, and design reviews from the ground up
