<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><strong><span data-contrast="auto">What&nbsp;You’ll&nbsp;Do:</span></strong><span data-ccp-props="{}">&nbsp;</span></p> <p><span class="TextRun SCXW67744350 BCX8" lang="EN-US" data-contrast="auto"><span class="NormalTextRun SCXW67744350 BCX8">As a Mission Manager, you will serve as the primary engineering and programmatic point of contact for customers from early capabilities studies through launch, on-orbit operations, re-entry, and recovery.
