AI Space Systems Software Engineer

Responsibilities

• Construct multi-agent AI systems that simulate, evaluate, decompose, and iteratively redesign spacecraft configurations using embedded physics models
• Contribute to infrastructure for automated, high-context model training using flight data, past simulations, and test results
• Build and fine-tune LLMs and VLMs capable of parsing technical documents into formal subsystem constraints and architectural schemas
• Develop models to detect contradictions or gaps in requirement sets and suggest valid configurations
• Help construct multimodal training datasets by collecting and annotating text, diagrams, and system specs
• Design formal representations of system architecture knowledge for model supervision and traceability
• Integrate models into Zenith’s payload ingestion and system decomposition pipelines
• Collaborate daily with engineers building real hardware to ensure model outputs match real-world engineering practices

Requirements

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, ML/AI, Engineering, or a related technical field
• 2+ years of experience building advanced ML systems (deep learning, RL, planning, or LLM agent frameworks)
• Strong proficiency in Python, PyTorch, JAX, or TensorFlow
• Experience with modern tooling such as LangChain, Ray, FastAPI, DVC, or Docker
• Experience in one or more: Vision-language models, Reinforcement learning, Simulation-aware ML, or RAG/knowledge graph systems
• Clear written and verbal communication skills

Preferred Qualifications

• Hands-on ability to prototype and debug hardware systems (microcontrollers, sensors, or test rigs)
• Familiarity with spacecraft concepts, astrodynamics, or control systems
• Experience with structured engineering artifacts like ICDs, CAD trees, or verification matrices
• Background in MBSE or spacecraft architecture design tools
• Interest in aerospace design processes including thermal, structural, or power subsystem allocation

Benefits

• Equity
• Unlimited PTO
• Medical (Platinum coverage), Vision, & Dental Insurance
• On-site catering provided daily
