Our goal is to take the last 30+ years of development in terrestrial computing to orbit. Colossus technology enables satellites to operate autonomously, facilitating instant Earth intelligence, satellite servicing, new modes of scientific exploration, and more. We touch every layer of the engineering design, from silicon to software to build solutions for the harsh environment of space. About This Role As a Vice President of Hardware Engineering, you will be responsible for overseeing, coordinating, and managing all aspects of designing, building, testing, and shipping hardware at Colossus. The scope of engineering you'll be overseeing includes electrical, mechanical, and manufacturing. You'll also coordinate closely with firmware and software engineering as well as the Commercial Team.

This might mean that you spend a week working remotely doing paperwork and video calls, followed by a week of working from the office directly overseeing manufacturing and testing operations. Some folks prefer to work from an office full time, and we support that as well.
