Our ultimate goal is to build and operate a self-sustaining city on Mars.

The Role

The Starlight team is focused on dramatically improving space solar power to support Starpath’s core mission and the greater space economy. Starlight manufactures the lowest cost and highest performance space solar ever, which will power the majority of new satellites built on Earth and all of Starpath’s equipment on the Moon and Mars.

  • Work with the greater solar engineering organization to assess and mitigate risks (FMEA/FMECA-lite, fault trees where useful)

  • Support failure analysis, root cause investigations, and corrective/preventive actions

  • Partner with Manufacturing on quality controls, acceptance gates, and nonconformance workflows

  • Communicate testing rationale and results clearly to stakeholders

Required Qualifications

  • B.S. or higher in an engineering discipline

  • Experience building/owning hardware

  • Strong engineering judgement using first-principles based rationale

  • Strong written and verbal communication skills

Preferred Qualifications

  • Solar array / power subsystem experience

  • Direct experience with environmental testing and/or high-rate manufacturing

  • Startup or rapid development program experience

Compensation & Benefits

  • Location: Los Angeles (Hawthorne), CA

  • Salary base rate is $80k-$120k/yr, plus equity package; compensation scales with candidate experience

  • PTO & health/dental/vision coverage included
