 Director of Mechanical Engineering
 <br/>
 <p>
  We are seeking a Director of Mechanical Engineering to lead a substantial portion of the team scaling the Linear Generator &amp;mdash; a first-of-kind distributed power platform that converts a low-temperature, flameless reaction directly into electricity using high-frequency linear motion instead of rotating machinery. The system integrates reciprocating pressure-driven assemblies, air-spring return chambers, precision alignment systems, and linear electromagnetic machines within a modular 250 kW-class packaged unit. It operates under cyclic loads, tight sealing constraints, thermal gradients, structural dynamics, and grid-interactive performance requirements typical of commercial power generation equipment.
 </p>
 <br/>
 <p>
  Reporting to the VP of Mechanical Engineering, this role is being created to expand leadership capacity, elevate risk visibility, and enable disciplined scaling of a growing hardware portfolio.
 </p>
 <br/>
 <p>
  You will own ~40-50% of the mechanical organization&rsquo;s active projects and lead ~25 direct and indirect reports, with scope expected to grow. Your teams will oversee multiple core subsystems that are tightly coupled and reliability-critical.
 </p>
 <br/>
 <p>
  Success requires both deep mechanical intuition and strong organizational leadership. You will strengthen technical rigor, improve prioritization across 50+ active efforts, and build execution systems that allow the organization to scale without sacrificing engineering excellence.

Most vehicles that go to space stay there. We're building the ones that come back.</i></div><div>
Our client is developing reusable return vehicles &mdash; systems that bring payloads home from orbit safely, precisely, and repeatedly. It's infrastructure the space economy has been missing. They're building it now, in Playa Vista, with a team that designs hardware, tests it, iterates on it, and watches it fly.</div><div>
The Director of Vehicle Engineering is the responsible engineer for every vehicle in development &mdash; an orbital return vehicle and a precision aerial delivery system. They own the architecture, hold the technical decisions that no one else can make, and drive the program from design through flight.</div><div>
This role requires someone who has owned a vehicle end to end &mdash; not contributed to one. The scope is broad by design, and the person who fills it will be expected to carry the technical authority that comes with it.</div><div></div><div><b><br>
THE ROLE</b></div><div>
You'll report directly to the VP of Engineering and lead an integrated, multi-disciplinary vehicle team spanning Structures, Mechanisms, Heat Shields, Paragliders, Parachutes, Avionics, and Software. This is not a management role with occasional technical input &mdash; you are the systems authority. You hold the vehicle architecture, manage performance budgets across mass, power, thermal, and GNC, and own the integrity of the vehicle at every stage of development.</div><div>
You're also the person who bridges R&amp;D and production. Our client is transitioning from development into early manufacturing, and this Director will build the processes, tooling, and acceptance criteria that make fleet-scale production possible &mdash; before handing off to a dedicated Production Engineering team.</div><div></div><div><b><br>
WHAT YOU'LL OWN</b></div><div>
&ndash; Vehicle architecture, interfaces, and all performance budgets &mdash; mass, power, thermal, GNC. You set them, manage them, and own the resolution when they're under pressure.</div><div>
&ndash; The full program lifecycle: from CDR through integration, TRR, CoFR, and flight operations.</div><div>
&ndash; A multi-disciplinary team of engineering leads. You manage resource allocation, keep the critical path moving, and make the calls that protect the schedule without compromising the vehicle.</div><div>
&ndash; Production readiness for upcoming initial missions &mdash; travelers, work instructions, acceptance test procedures, DFM reviews &mdash; and the transition plan to hand off to Production Engineering for fleet-scale manufacturing.</div><div>
&ndash; The precision aerial delivery product line: design, validation, and flight performance to meet customer delivery accuracy requirements.</div><div>
&ndash; The Master Test Plan, including environmental campaigns, flight tests, and anomaly resolution through MRB (Material Review Board) and FRACAS (Failure Reporting, Analysis and Corrective Action System).</div><div>
&ndash; The vehicle development schedule &mdash; risk identification, make/buy decisions, and configuration management.</div><div></div><div><b><br>
WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR</b></div><div></div><div><b><br>
Required</b></div><div>
&ndash; 12+ years of full-lifecycle spacecraft or flight vehicle development &mdash; design, build, and fly. All three phases, with direct personal ownership in each.</div><div>
&ndash; Experience managing vehicle-level system budgets and making high-stakes technical trades &mdash; not subsystem trades, vehicle-level ones.</div><div>
&ndash; A track record of leading cross-functional teams through critical design reviews and into flight campaigns, as the responsible engineer.</div><div>
&ndash; Direct flight test heritage: range safety, anomaly investigation, and post-test disposition. You were accountable, not adjacent.</div><div>
&ndash; Hands-on experience bridging R&amp;D and manufacturing &mdash; setting up travelers, defining acceptance criteria, and designing for producibility.</div><div>
&ndash; Bachelor's degree or higher in Aerospace, Mechanical, or Systems Engineering.</div><div></div><div><b><br>
Preferred</b></div><div>
&ndash; Experience with re-entry vehicles, TPS (Thermal Protection System), or recovery systems &mdash; parachutes, paragliders, or parafoils.</div><div>
&ndash; Experience transitioning a vehicle or system from prototype into LRIP (Low-Rate Initial Production).</div><div>
&ndash; Background in precision aerial delivery or autonomous aircraft development.</div><div>
&ndash; Active U.S. government security clearance.</div><div></div><div><b><br>
WHO THRIVES HERE</b></div><div>
This role will suit someone who is technically restless &mdash; who wants to own the hard problems, not review them. Our client is at a key inflection point of growth, which means the work is real, the decisions matter, and the person in this seat will shape how the engineering organization develops for years. The team is collaborative and mission-driven. The work is in-person, five days a week in Playa Vista &mdash; because building flight hardware together requires being in the same room. If you've been looking for a role where you can see the systems you design make it to orbit and back, this is it.</div><div></div><div><b><br>

Base Salary</b></div><div>
$200,000 &ndash; $250,000 (commensurate with experience)</div><div><b>
Equity</b></div><div>
