Contractor

About the Company
Our client is a Southern California new-space hardtech startup developing an advanced reentry vehicle, and they need a senior avionics engineer who can execute. Not advise. Not oversee. Execute. They are building from a lean base and need someone who can own the electrical engineering function and drive real progress on a fast-moving vehicle program.
Cohorts are welcome. If you have a trusted team of two or three — power, comms, digital — who have worked together before and want to take on a project as a unit, we want to hear from you.
WHAT YOU WILL DO
You will take hands-on ownership of avionics design and execution on an active vehicle development program. This includes everything from system architecture through hardware design and documentation. You will work closely with leadership and contribute directly to getting the vehicle to its next milestone.
WHO WE ARE LOOKING FOR
You are a senior avionics or electrical engineer with spacecraft hardware experience. You are full-stack or close to it — power, communications, digital systems, or some combination. You have designed flight hardware, not just tested or maintained it. You can read a schematic, write a requirement, and review a board layout. You move fast, communicate clearly, and do not need to be managed.
Cohorts of two to three engineers with complementary specializations are actively encouraged to apply together.
You are a collaborative builder, not a disruptor. You thrive in lean environments where ownership is high and bureaucracy is low.
SpaceX or similar pedigree.
ENGAGEMENT DETAILS
Format: Full-time sprint (5 days per week) preferred, open to fewer hours if needed
Duration: Ongoing, with potential to convert to full-time
Location: Onsite full time strongly preferred. Open to hybrid where you come in when needed.
ITAR Requirement
To conform to U.S. Government space technology export regulations, applicant must be a U.S. citizen, lawful permanent resident of the U.S., protected individual as defined by ITAR (22 CFR §120.15), or eligible to obtain the required authorizations from the U.S. Department of State. Learn more about the ITAR here.
Equal Opportunity
Our client is an equal opportunity employer. They evaluate qualified applicants without regard to race, color, religion, gender, national origin/ethnicity, veteran status, disability status, age, sexual orientation, gender identity, marital status, mental or physical disability or any other legally protected status.About AdAstra Reserve
This role is being placed through AdAstra Reserve, a fractional talent program operated by AdAstra.
AdAstra Reserve was built around a simple observation: the best engineers in hardtech do not always want a traditional full-time job. Some have recently retired from major programs and are not ready to stop building. Some want to take on focused, meaningful work between chapters of their career. Some want to contribute to a mission they believe in without signing a five-year lease on their life.
Reserve connects those engineers with high-growth space companies that need their skills now — not in six months after a drawn-out hiring process. Engagements are structured as defined sprints (full-time for a project) or ongoing fractional arrangements (part-time on a set number of hours per week). There is no commitment beyond the agreed scope, and many engagements lead to full-time opportunities for candidates who want them.
If you are a high-caliber engineer who has built and shipped real hardware in new space or adjacent fields and this sounds like a model that fits your life, we would love to talk to you — whether or not a specific posting above is the right fit right now.
At AdAstra, we catalyze the innovations that future generations depend on by placing the right people in the right seats. Our dedicated work enables inconceivable technology from Earth, to the stars. And it’s all because of trailblazing talent like you - those driven to do what’s never been done before. We care about long term relationships with both candidates and companies.
