Benefits
- The California annual base salary for this role is currently $137,000-$193,000.
- Pay Grades are determined by role, level, location, and alignment with market data. Individual pay will be determined on a case-by-case basis and may vary based on the following considerations: interviews and an assessment of several factors that are unique to each candidate, job-related skills, relevant education and experience, certifications, abilities of the candidate and internal equity.
Additional details
- Turning Space into a Transportation Layer for Earth Who We Are:
- Eras of humanity can often be defined by a dominant transportation mode - horse drawn chariots, ocean going boats, or aircraft.
- These were spurred by a small group of people rigorously focused on building technology to achieve faster access to more of the world.
- We seek to usher in a new era of humanity defined by universal access to the whole globe free of borders and the presence of a routine way from space to Earth.
- To do this, we are building highly maneuverable re-entry vehicles that can loiter in orbit before precision landing back on Earth. What You'll Do:
- As a Senior Avionics Engineer, you will be personally responsible for the architecture and implementation of the core avionics elements for Inversion's next-generation vehicles.
- You will help define the foundation of Inversion's avionics architecture while setting the technical standards for future team growth.
- You will be a key member of the Avionics team, reporting directly to the Director of Engineering, Avionics .
- Our engineers are responsible for the complete lifecycle of the hardware they create, including development, testing, and integration.
- Qualify your designs through environmental testing including vibration, shock, TCYC, and TVAC testing •
