As a Senior Electro-Optical Engineer at Impulse, you will own the development of

flight camera systems and optical payloads from early architecture through test

and flight. This role is for someone who wants to do more than contribute

analysis in a narrow lane, you will be responsible for the technical execution of a

spacecraft electro-optical product and will help define how it is built, tested, and

integrated.

You will work across optics, camera hardware, embedded software, opto-

mechanics, avionics, test, and spacecraft integration to deliver high-performance

flight systems on aggressive timelines. This is a high-autonomy role with

significant room for growth. The right person will be comfortable acting as the

technical owner of the product, driving decisions, coordinating cross-functional

execution, and closing hardware quickly.

Why this role at Impulse

This is an opportunity to take real ownership of hardware that flies. You will have
the autonomy to shape architecture, drive execution, and influence product
direction while working on spacecraft payloads in a fast-moving environment.
As the team grows, this role offers meaningful opportunities to expand in scope and technical leadership.
