Beyond Reach Labs builds deployable solar arrays that deliver orders-of-magnitude more power per launch — bringing scalable energy to the places in space that need it most. Backed by Y Combinator.
About the role
We're hiring our first dedicated Talent Acquisition Manager. You'll own recruiting end to end: partnering directly with founders and hiring managers, building sourcing pipelines beyond our existing network, running a fast and structured interview process, and standing up the basic infrastructure (applicant tracking, offer process, onboarding handoff) a growing hardware company needs.
What they're looking for
- 2+ years of recruiting experience, including time in-house at an early-stage or high-growth startup — not exclusively agency or large-company recruiting
- Real experience recruiting mechanical engineers specifically: you know how to evaluate an ME background, and where to find people who've worked on physical hardware (aerospace, robotics, automotive, or similar)
- Comfortable being the owner of a function
- A genuine interest in preserving what's worked about our hiring so far (trust, referrals, a high bar) while building the infrastructure to scale past it

Building revolutionary technology requires more than great engineers. It requires a company that operates smoothly, moves quickly, and stays focused on what matters most.

This is a build-it-yourself role. You'll be the first and only person in this seat for a while, which means you're designing the process, not inheriting one.
