Full Job Description

Canopy Technologies’ mission is to manufacture humanity’s ascent. Our team advances materials and manufacturing processes to support the most challenging missions in the galaxy: re-entry from space, interplanetary travel, hypersonic weapons, and more. Canopy’s engineering centers around extreme environment materials needed to withstand heat, corrosive environments, and the harshness of space.

Job Summary: Canopy Technologies is seeking an exceptional R&D Engineer to lead the development, integration, and flight validation of next-generation materials and payload systems for extreme environments.

This role sits at the intersection of materials science, mechanical design, and experimental test. You will take novel ceramic, composite, and multi-material systems from first-principles concept through proof-of-concept, qualification, and flight demonstration. You will design hardware that survives re-entry, hypersonic heating, and harsh maritime and defense environments — and you will personally help build, test, and refine it.

This is not a narrow, single-discipline role. It requires an engineer who is equally comfortable deriving governing equations from scratch, building robust CAD models for complex assemblies, instrumenting hardware for high-temperature test, and standing in front of a torch or arc-jet facility diagnosing failure modes in real time.

Key Responsibilities

Develop, qualify, integrate, and flight-test payloads and components for re-entry and high-temperature systems
Characterize and test advanced materials and stackups (ceramics, composites, soft goods, coatings, embedded sensors)
Design and implement instrumentation, data acquisition, and calibration systems for high-temperature and high-dynamic testing
Analyze experimental data to validate models, refine designs, and inform next iterations
Perform first-principles thermal, structural, and multiphysics analyses to guide engineering decisions
Interface with embedded systems and software to enable sensing, telemetry, control, and data capture
Design, prototype, and integrate complex assemblies using advanced CAD tools
Partner with Manufacturing and Production teams to transition prototypes into scalable, repeatable hardware systems
Translate early-stage concepts into validated proof-of-concept demonstrations
Contribute to technical proposals and capture efforts for advanced defense and space programs

Required Qualifications

B.S. in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Materials Science, or related field
3-5 years of hands-on engineering experience developing, building, and testing hardware systems
Experience using CAD software and producing engineering drawings to GD&T standards
Experience planning, executing, and analyzing experimental tests
Experience building, integrating, and using data acquisition systems to collect data from COTS sensors.
Strong engineering first principles in solid mechanics, thermodynamics, fluids, and electronics
Functional software ability in at least one high level programming language (Python preferred), with the ability to interface with test equipment and perform data analysis.
Experience designing and executing project plans, managing technical scope, and coordinating cross-functional efforts to deliver hardware programs

Preferred Qualifications

Proven experience thriving in a dynamic environment with a high degree of autonomy
Experience working with advanced manufacturing equipment such as 3D printers, CNC machines, robotic systems, or automated production equipment
Graduate-level degree in materials science or engineering, ideally with a focus in high-temperature materials or hypersonics
Proven experience finding scrappy ways to deliver on milestones or programs ahead of schedule
Published external literature in academic journals

Additional Requirements

Must have professional working proficiency reading, writing, and speaking English
Ability to work in office, lab, and manufacturing environments with occasional exposure to noise, chemicals, dust, industrial equipment, and temperature variations
Ability to sit or stand for extended periods while working at a computer workstation
Frequent use of hands and fingers for data entry, keyboarding, and mouse use
Ability to view computer screens for prolonged periods
Ability to communicate effectively in person, by phone, and via email
Ability to use a computer to complete assignments
Ability to work extended hours and weekends as necessary
Ability to obtain and maintain a US Government Secret security clearance

The above statements are intended to describe the general nature and level of work performed. They are not intended to be an exhaustive list of all responsibilities, duties, or skills required. Management may modify or assign additional duties as needed.

Type: Full Time, Exempt (Salaried)

Reports to: President, Canopy Technologies

Base Location: Littleton, CO onsite M-F

Travel: <20% of the time

Work Environment

Ability to work in office, lab, and manufacturing environments with occasional exposure to noise, dust, and temperature variations.

Must be able to lift and carry up to 35 lbs and perform tasks involving standing, walking, bending, and manual assembly.

Visual acuity required for reading technical drawings, inspecting components, and operating precision instruments.

Occasional travel to customer or test sites, including outdoor or industrial settings, with adherence to company and OSHA safety protocols.

Your actual level and base salary will be determined on a case-by-case basis and may vary based on the following considerations: job-related knowledge and skills, education, and experience.

Total compensation will also include a comprehensive set of benefits including but not limited to: Company paid employee medical, dental and vision insurance. Retirement plan participation (eligibility required), paid sick leave, paid vacation, paid holidays and discretionary bonuses.
