Top Tech Jobs & Startup Jobs in Denver & Boulder, CO

Lead development and execution of integrated propulsion and fluids test campaigns for lunar lander hardware. Design, install, operate, and maintain pneumatic, cryogenic, vacuum, and control systems; write and execute test procedures; manage technicians and vendors; troubleshoot anomalies; collect, analyze, and archive test data; and ensure configuration control, safety compliance, and readiness for flight verification.

Design, build, and commission automated manufacturing systems end-to-end. Define control architectures, program PLCs/HMIs/robots, perform virtual and onsite commissioning, integrate equipment, lead testing and acceptance, produce controls documentation, and coordinate cross-functional stakeholders to deliver scalable production systems.

Design, develop, simulate, and verify FPGA firmware for COMSEC/secure communications. Perform synthesis, place-and-route, timing analysis, integration, hardware bring-up, debugging, and documentation while collaborating with hardware and systems teams.

Develop and implement fabrication and production processes for aerospace electronic assemblies. Support hands-on production, troubleshoot and disposition non-conforming hardware, create work instructions, participate in RCAs, support DFMA and engineering change implementation, and generate manufacturing routings and control plans.

Design and develop space-grade power electronic converters (isolated and non-isolated DC-DC) from requirements through production. Tasks include topology selection, component selection, controller algorithm development, simulation, schematic capture, PCB layout, prototype bring-up, testing, iterative reliability improvements, and cross-functional collaboration to transition designs to production for Hall thruster-based satellite propulsion systems.

Develop, test, and deploy ground mission-operations software for lunar lander systems. Design safety-critical, scalable architectures, integrate with vehicle and ground subsystems, run SIL/HIL validation, support CI/CD and release, produce documentation, and assist operator training and mission operations.

Lead design and implementation of scalable, secure DevOps and CI/CD practices for avionics and lunar systems. Build monitoring, automation, and dashboards; audit pipelines for compliance; mentor team members; support hybrid on-prem/cloud deployments and safety-critical software processes to improve reliability and deployment frequency.

Develop and validate closed-loop motion control systems: design control algorithms, build MATLAB/Simulink dynamic models, correlate simulations with tests, troubleshoot system performance, present technical results, and produce design and test documentation.

Lead programmatic execution for complex aerospace/space development programs: track technical scope, budget, schedule, and risk; develop recovery plans; manage contractual data deliverables; drive finance, procurement, planning, and proposal sign-off; and coordinate cross-functional stakeholders to deliver program objectives for safe human spaceflight.

Lead and mentor an embedded software team building mission-critical, real-time aerospace/defense systems. Split role between hands-on embedded development and people leadership, set technical direction, ensure secure lifecycle compliance, integrate software with hardware, manage schedules and risks, and coordinate with government partners on classified programs.
