About the role

Join our team of experienced and passionate space innovators driven to transform and expand humanity’s utilization of space. The creation of space-based power infrastructure is as impactful for space missions in the 2020’s and 2030’s as the advent of low-cost launch services was in the 2010’s. We seek individuals who share our passion for enabling people to do more in space and are not afraid to get their hands dirty to make our vision of the future reality.

What they're looking for

  • 8+ years of experience in IT, with at least 3 years in a leadership or management role
  • Experience in Aerospace or Defense: A deep understanding of ITAR/EAR regulations and cybersecurity frameworks like NIST or CMMC is highly preferred
  • Proven Infrastructure Experience: Experience building out IT for new facilities, ideally including labs or manufacturing environments
  • Advanced Networking Knowledge: Mastery of firewalls, VPNs, secure Wi-Fi, and cloud architecture (AWS/Azure)
  • Communication Skills: Ability to translate complex technical security requirements into actionable plans for non-technical leadership
  • Problem-Solving Mindset: You are a "fixer" who can jump in to solve a server crisis while simultaneously planning a 3-year technology budget
