<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> <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> <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> <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><strong><span data-contrast="none">Key Responsibilities:</span></strong><span data-ccp-props="{}"> </span></p> <ul> <li><span data-contrast="auto">Set up and operate multi-axis CNC milling machines and CNC lathes with live tooling.</span><span data-ccp-props="{}"> </span></li> <li><span data-contrast="auto">Read and interpret engineering drawings, blueprints, and GD&T specifications.</span><span data-ccp-props="{"335559739":0}"> </span></li> <li><span data-contrast="auto">Select, install, and maintain tooling, fixtures, and workholding.</span><span data-ccp-props="{"335559739":0}"> </span></li> <li><span data-contrast="auto">Perform in-process inspections using precision measuring instruments.</span><span data-ccp-props="{"335559739":0}"> </span></li> <li><span data-contrast="auto">Monitor machining runs, adjust parameters, and ensure parts meet print specifications.</span><span data-ccp-props="{"335559739":0}"> </span></li> <li><span data-contrast="auto">Troubleshoot machining and programming issues; recommend process improvements.</span><span data-ccp-props="{"335559739":0}"> </span></li> <li><span data-contrast="auto">Collaborate closely with programmers to maintain efficient workflows.</span><span data-ccp-props="{"335559739":0}"> </span></li> <li><span data-contrast="auto">Help maintain a clean, organized, and safe shop environment.</span><span data-ccp-props="{"335559739":0}"> </span></li> </ul> <p><strong><span data-contrast="none">Required Qualifications:</span></strong><span data-ccp-props="{}"> </span></p> <ul> <li><span data-contrast="auto">Must have the ability to obtain and maintain a U.S. government Secret/Top Secret security clearance.</span></li> <li><span data-contrast="auto">Typically 3-5+ years of CNC set-up experience with 5-axis mills and CNC lathe
