Advanced Reentry Technologies
**Who We Are:
**
Inversion is an aerospace and defense company pioneering advanced reentry technology to enable next-generation capabilities from space. By combining high-performance materials, precision aerodynamics, and mission-driven autonomy, Inversion is transforming reentry into an operational capability for an entirely new class of missions.
The company’s highly maneuverable reentry spacecraft, Arc, is designed for rapid global cargo delivery, hypersonic testing, and other national security missions that require precise, controlled flight through the atmosphere. Arc creates an entirely new transportation domain, unlocking unprecedented speed and global reach.
Headquartered in Los Angeles, Inversion designs, manufactures, and integrates its spacecraft under one roof, enabling the company to move rapidly from concept to flight. The company is backed by leading investors including Y Combinator, Spark Capital, and Lockheed Martin Ventures, with customers across the U.S. government and commercial space industry.
About the Role
As an Electronics Integration and Development Engineer at Inversion, you will work as part of the simulation team to design and develop the hardware-in-the-loop testbeds for our flight systems. You will own the integration of flight, simulation, and test hardware, and will be responsible for everything from making wiring harnesses to designing PCBs and writing code. The simulation team is responsible for ensuring that flight software and flight hardware can be continuously integrated and tested under realistic flight conditions. You will play a key role in the design, development, and integration of specialized hardware and software that will enable fast, repeatable development and deployment workflows across the engineering stack. The ideal candidate is a tinkerer who enjoys hands-on experimentation with embedded systems (such as microcontrollers and single-board computers) to quickly turn ideas into prototypes but also has the ability to turn those prototypes into production-ready hardware. Your work will empower Inversion’s engineering teams to iterate rapidly throughout the development life cycle and will strengthen Inversion’s ability to put our products into the hands of our customers with unprecedented speed and agility.
What You'll Do
- Integrate and develop electronics hardware needed to enable on-demand, hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) simulation workflows
- Create schematics and layouts for custom hardware (wiring harnesses and PCBs), with a focus on interface boards, breakout systems, and inter-system connectivity
- Perform hands-on assembly of prototype wiring harnesses and PCBs
