Top Tech Jobs & Startup Jobs in Seattle, WA

Own and develop ADCS/GNC algorithms, simulations, and tools for an in-orbit data center constellation. Implement and maintain production code, perform constellation design/optimization, orbit transfers, collision avoidance, and constellation-level analysis. Support system integration, on-call operations, commanding, data analysis, and cross-functional collaboration.

Design, develop, and validate high-reliability electronics and PCBs for space-based data centers. Create schematics and PCB layouts, perform SI/PI and thermal analysis, manage component lifecycle through manufacturing and orbital deployment, execute environmental testing (vibration, thermal cycling, radiation), use DOE/SPC for data-driven improvements, and collaborate with supply chain and vendors to ensure manufacturability and reliability.

Design, analyze, and iterate spacecraft mechanisms (deployable solar panels and radiators). Create CAD models, perform classical and FEA analyses, develop test and qualification plans, produce drawings/BOMs, and collaborate cross-functionally to optimize cost, manufacturability, and reliability for space applications.

Develop and maintain high-reliability, high-performance software for space-based data centers including embedded systems and custom hardware. Integrate software with hardware, create and run test plans (simulations and on-orbit), use automated testing/CI, build infrastructure and monitoring tools, and collaborate with cross-functional teams to ensure fault-tolerant deployments.

Design, analyze, and test DC-DC power converters and electrical power subsystems for space-based data centers. Lead schematic capture, PCB layout, board bring-up, modeling/simulation, EMI/EMC resolution, and system verification. Optimize topologies for efficiency, reliability, mass, and cost. Integrate with spacecraft power sources (solar, batteries) and support harsh-environment packaging and testing.

Lead analysis, testing, and model correlation for spacecraft dynamics across ground transport, launch, deployment, and on-orbit operations. Develop and maintain finite element models, perform vibration/shock/modal/acoustic analyses, plan and execute dynamic tests, process test data, correlate models, and produce qualification documentation. Build analysis automation, tools, and work with cross-functional teams to mitigate structural and dynamic risks.

Lead the spacecraft electrical architecture from concept through flight: power generation, storage, distribution, conversion, avionics interfaces, harnessing, EMI/EMC, testing, qualification, and on-orbit validation. Build and manage the electrical team, run trade studies, deliver flight hardware, and partner across mechanical, thermal, software, and operations to iterate rapidly and deploy novel high‑power architectures.

Lead and own execution of multiple classified government and commercial programs end-to-end. Manage cost, schedule, EVM, invoicing (PIEE/WAWF), customer relationships, contractors, deliverables, and cross-functional teams while improving PM tools and processes to scale the portfolio.
