Full Job Description

Meet Slingshot

At Slingshot Aerospace, we're on a mission to make space safer and more secure for everyone. Our work directly impacts global security, disaster response, climate monitoring, and the critical infrastructure that connects our world. We're a team of builders, thinkers, and problem-solvers who believe that the next generation of space operations will be powered by better data and smarter software. We move fast, we're not afraid to fail, and we believe the best ideas can come from anywhere—whether you're in engineering, sales, product, or operations. If you want to work on something that truly matters, with people who care deeply about the impact we're making and help shape the future of an industry that's just getting started, you're in the right place.

What You'll Be Launching

As a senior member of Space Surveillance Research and Development (R&D) technical staff, you will take a lead role advancing Slingshot's efforts to accelerate the security, safety, and sustainability of space via the detection, tracking, identification, and characterization of satellites and space debris. This work will include a subset of (i) designing sensing systems for space surveillance applications; (ii) development of software/hardware interfaces for ground- and space-based gimbaled and non-gimbaled sensor systems, (iii) development of state-of-the-art detection, calibration, and mount control algorithms; (iv) modeling, simulation, and analysis of sensor network capabilities; and (v) development of robust software to autonomously operate remote observatories.

Your Mission (Should you choose to accept it)

Execute all position responsibilities in alignment with Slingshot's core values, mission, and purpose
Perform system-level design, simulation, and integration of hardware components to create cutting-edge space surveillance systems
Develop algorithms and software to help automate and enhance sensor data tasking, collection, processing, exploitation, and dissemination
Support ongoing and future transitions of Slingshot's products and services to the Slingshot Global Sensor Network (SGSN), space operations centers, and other technology testbeds
Engage with customers and stakeholders to ensure successful outcomes for their mission-critical needs
Contribute your expertise and ideas to help shape our products and strategies
Prepare technical reports and briefing materials
Represent your team and Slingshot to a broader audience through presentations to customers and stakeholders
Serve as a technical expert and key contributor to Slingshot's space surveillance technology development.
Lead the successful execution of individual projects, small team projects, and/or product development activities
Share subject matter expertise through mentoring and training of other staff
Take point in writing technical sections of proposals for winning new work
Lead technical work on larger team efforts including cross-team initiatives
Ideate and champion internal research & development activities
Perform other duties as assigned (to be less than 10% of the responsibilities listed above)
Must be a U.S. citizen eligible for government clearances

Pre-flight Checklist

Undergraduate degree in Aerospace Engineering, Electrical Engineering,
Mechanical Engineering, Computer Science, Applied Mathematics, Physics, Astronomy, or a related field
7+ years of relevant experience, potentially accounting for a record of academic excellence with relevant internship experience
Experience developing applications in Python and/or C++
Effective written and verbal communication skills, with the demonstrated ability to convey salient details about advanced technology in a compelling manner to both experts and non-experts alike
Ability to travel up to 5% of the time within and outside of the United States to support customer engagements, technical exchanges, or sensor installations
Tenacious drive to overcome challenges and deliver solutions with excellence
Must be a U.S. citizen eligible for and able to obtain and maintain a security clearance

Bonus Cargo

Graduate level degree in Aerospace Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Computer Science, Applied Mathematics, Physics, Astronomy, or a related field
Significant experience developing and debugging applications in Python and/or C++ with deployment experience in a Linux operating environment
Experience in optics or mechanical system component design and assembly
Training or experience in fields such as image processing, algorithm optimization, software/hardware interfacing, embedded/GPU development, astrodynamics, estimation theory, statistical analysis, remote sensing, radiometry, and machine learning
Early-stage startup experience

We're building a constellation here, not looking for identical satellites. Every member of the team brings different capabilities to the same mission. If your orbit intersects with ours and you're mission-ready, send it.
