Senior Avionics Test and Integration Engineer
Inversion Space
<div class="content-intro"><p><strong>Turning Space into a Transportation Layer for Earth</strong></p></div><h3>Who We Are:</h3> <p>Inversion builds advanced reentry systems to deliver next-generation capabilities from space.<br>&nbsp;<br>Our mission is to make Earth radically more accessible by turning Low-Earth Orbit into an on-demand logistics domain. We see space not as a destination, but as a platform — one that unlocks unprecedented speed and global reach.<br>&nbsp;<br>Our spacecraft are designed to deliver payloads anywhere on Earth in under an hour, operating through extreme reentry conditions and landing with high precision. These systems open the door to new ways of testing, delivering, and operating at hypersonic speeds.<br>&nbsp;<br>Inherently dual-use, our technology is built to meet urgent national security needs while laying the groundwork for future commercial applications. Backed by leading investors including Y Combinator, Spark Capital, and Lockheed Martin Ventures, and working with partners such as the U.S. Space Force and NASA, Inversion is pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in space-based defense and logistics.</p> <p data-renderer-start-pos="1005" data-local-id="22d3815db53f"><strong data-renderer-mark="true">What You'll Do</strong></p> <p data-renderer-start-pos="1021" data-local-id="0d4f7f9066c8">As an <strong data-renderer-mark="true">Avionics Test and Integration Engineer </strong>at Inversion, you will report directly to the Director of Engineering, Avionics. In this role, you will be responsible for integrating, validating, and troubleshooting the electrical systems that enable Inversion’s vehicle to fly. You will work at the intersection of hardware design, software, manufacturing, and flight operations, owning vehicle-level checkout, test infrastructure, and hardware verification from development through flight.</p> <p data-renderer-start-pos="1511" data-local-id="6c03e1cebc9f">You will build and operate flight-like test environments, perform qualification and acceptance testing of avionics hardware, integrate avionics into flight articles, investigate anomalies, and help ensure every electrical subsystem is ready for mission operations. This is a highly hands-on role requiring strong engineering judgment, technical curiosity, and the ability to solve complex system-level problems under aggressive development schedules.</p> <p data-renderer-start-pos="1963" data-local-id="504e21248992"><strong data-renderer-mark="true">Key Responsibilities</strong></p> <ul> <li data-renderer-start-pos="1987" data-local-id="605bd98b8910">Own vehicle-level integration, checkout, and verification of avionics subsystems including flight computers, power systems, networking equipment, RF systems, sensors, and payload interfaces.</li> <li data-renderer-start-pos="2181" data-local-id="13ac9f9859db">Develop and execute electrical integration procedures, acceptance test plans, qualification campaigns, and vehicle checkout operations.</li> <li data-renderer-start-pos="2320" data-local-id="432f8cb6b458">Design, build, and maintain avionics test infrastructure including HIL testbeds, bench-top test systems, test racks, breakout boxes, simulators, and electrical ground support equipment.</li> <li data-renderer-start-pos="2509" data-local-id="31e0e9f5d94e">Support system-level bring-up and troubleshooting of flight hardware, including root-cause investigations involving electrical, software, networking, and mechanical interfaces.</li> <li data-renderer-start-pos="2689&qu
