ABOUT OBSERVABLE SPACE At Observable Space, we're redefining how humanity observes and connects with the universe. We're a vertically integrated, high-growth, space technology company building industry-leading precision optics platforms for Earth and in space. Our systems are trusted by thousands of customers, including NASA, JPL, SpaceX, Boeing, RTX, the US Space Force and the U.S. Department of War, leading research institutions and international partners. We combine precision opto-mechanical hardware, embedded compute, cloud orchestration, and developer-friendly APIs into world class products at scale with in-house manufacturing. From advanced ground stations, on-orbit sensor suites, free space optical lasercom, to distributed compute platforms, we deliver the foundational systems enabling continuous, real-time navigation, observation, and communication in space. Observable Space is backed by top-tier institutional investors including Lux Capital, Upfront Ventures, RTX Ventures, Detroit Venture Partners and Embedded Ventures.

ABOUT THE ROLE You will design, build, and test precision optomechanical hardware for ground-based laser communication systems and future space-based optical payloads. This is a hands-on role spanning fiber coupling, beam steering, and optical sensing. You will work closely with optical, electrical, and software engineers to take your hardware designs from concept through production. WHAT YOU'LL DO - Design and build precision optical assemblies, including fiber-coupling hardware, optical benches, flexures, and kinematic mounts. - Develop and validate complex optomechanical hardware including laser systems, fast steering mirrors, actuators, advanced sensors for pointing and adaptive optics controls. - Develop tolerance budgets and alignment procedures, contribute to pointing-error budgets, and support FEA simulations of structural, thermal, and vibration performance. - Perform ha…
