EraDrive solves pressing needs in space safety, performance, and defense at scale through one solution. These include applications such as space traffic management, on-orbit servicing and logistics, and advanced remote sensing. Backed by Point Nine Capital.
About the role
EraDrive is delivering multiple flight hardware payloads (“Era-Nodes”) which enable on-orbit autonomy for government and commercial customers. You will lead the end-to-end systems engineering and technical execution, from requirements definition through design, implementation, qualification, host spacecraft integration, and on-orbit operations.
What they're looking for
- * A degree in aerospace engineering, systems engineering, electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, or a closely related field
- * Experience leading end-to-end development for satellite buses, hosted payloads, avionics, or flight hardware, from concept through qualification, integration, and operations
- * Multidisciplinary understanding of mechanical, thermal, electrical, data, timing, software, autonomy, and spacecraft operations interfaces
- * Experience with system trades, interface control, requirements and verification management, risk management, and formal technical reviews
- * Experience managing the technical baseline for multiple flight units or a small production run
- * Experience planning and executing functional and environmental test campaigns, including anomaly investigation and verification closure
More about this role
EraDrive’s goal is to revolutionize spaceflight through autonomy. EraDrive builds autonomy software and hardware that let spacecraft see, decide, and act with minimal human control. Our software is already flying in space, and we are growing it into a product family that covers rendezvous, on-orbit inspection, and space based sensing. You will be one of the early members of the EraDrive engineering team.

You will lead the end-to-end systems engineering and technical execution, from requirements definition through design, implementation, qualification, host spacecraft integration, and on-orbit operations. You will own the system architecture, interfaces, verification strategy, technical baseline, and risk posture across mechanical, thermal, electrical, software, autonomy, and operations domains. Internally, you will coordinate EraDrive's engineering team and drive cross-disciplinary decisions. Externally, you will be the primary technical interface to vendors, the host spacecraft bus team, and the program sponsor. This is a hands-on...
