Defense company developing high-energy laser weapon systems for U.S. military customers. The company has demonstrated multi-hundred-kilowatt class laser output and is scaling to higher power levels.
Under the DE Program Chief Engineer, twenty-five engineers across optics, thermal, mechanical, electrical, and software disciplines.
Scaling the laser to higher power levels on the same mobile platform requires solving the thermal management problem. You will architect the integrated beam control and thermal management solution.
Directed energy weapon systems engineering spanning laser source, beam control, target tracking, thermal management, and platform integration. The multi-physics nature of the problem -- optics, thermal, mechanical, electrical, and software all interacting -- is what makes this staff-level work.
A commercial launch vehicle company with an established flight record. The company is developing a next-generation reusable vehicle.
Satellite communications company deploying a LEO broadband constellation. The constellation is in early deployment with an operational phase underway.
NewSpace company developing electric propulsion systems for satellite station-keeping and orbit transfer, with a growing customer base of LEO and GEO operators.
