Robotics Startup for Space Development. Backed by 500 Global.
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 or higher in aerospace engineering, mechanical engineering, chemical engineering, chemistry, or a related technical field
- 5+ years of relevant experience in solid rocket propulsion, energetic materials, combustion, or closely related hardware development
- Demonstrated experience owning end-to-end solid rocket motor development across propellant formulation, motor build, hot-fire testing, data analysis, and design iteration
- Strong understanding of solid propellant combustion, internal ballistics, and motor performance
- Demonstrated ability to make independent engineering decisions and drive rapid build-test-learn cycles
- U.S. citizenship required due to the nature of the national security programs this role may support and the potential need to access classified information
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...
