About the role
GITAI is a vertically integrated space and defense company building the next generation of hardware for low-Earth-orbit missions.
What they're looking for
- Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or a related technical field
- At least five years of professional experience in rocketry, missiles, launch vehicles, propulsion, or a closely related aerospace field
- Demonstrated ownership of rocket or missile hardware from design through manufacturing, assembly, and test
- Strong mechanical design capability, including 3D CAD, production drawings, GD&T, tolerance analysis, material selection, fastening methods, and design for manufacturing and assembly
- Strong practical understanding of structural mechanics, load paths, vibration, shock, thermal effects, and the calculations required to support and review mechanical designs
- Experience leading complex hardware development or serving as a technical lead, including reviewing designs and guiding less-experienced engineers
More about this role
GITAI is a vertically integrated space and defense company building the next generation of hardware for low-Earth-orbit missions.
At our core is the space robotics technology that has defined GITAI from the beginning. A small, highly capable engineering team applies that foundation across satellite buses, in-orbit servicing robotics, and mission hardware for applications such as Earth observation. Today, a major focus of our work is supporting U.S. national security missions, particularly through proliferated LEO satellite constellations and other next-generation space systems.
We design, build, integrate, and test much of our hardware in-house. Electrical, mechanical, software, manufacturing, integration, and test teams work closely together, allowing a small team to own complete systems rather than isolated components. This vertical integration helps us move quickly, learn directly from hardware, and shorten the path from architecture to a working system.
We are still early. The systems, the company, and the market are all being built at the same time. Requirements change, technical problems are often ambiguous, and many answers do not yet exist. We are looking for exceptional...
