Job Description
Join Zenith Aerospace as a Senior Orbital Systems Architect for the revolutionary 2026 Horizon Project. We are building the first sustainable, autonomous lunar habitat that will serve as humanity’s gateway to the stars. If you thrive in high-pressure environments and are passionate about pushing the boundaries of physics and engineering, this is your calling.
We are seeking a visionary engineer to lead the structural integrity and life-support systems for our next-generation orbital stations. You will work directly with quantum computing teams to optimize habitat layouts for zero-gravity environments and extreme radiation exposure.
Why Join Us?
- Work on the cutting edge of space exploration and interplanetary infrastructure.
- Competitive compensation package with performance bonuses.
- Comprehensive health, vision, and dental coverage.
- Generous 401(k) matching and stock options.
Responsibilities
- Lead the architectural design and engineering of modular habitats for the 2026 Lunar Gateway, ensuring compliance with NASA and international space station standards.
- Collaborate with AI and robotics teams to integrate autonomous repair systems into habitat structures.
- Conduct rigorous stress-testing simulations to ensure structural durability during solar flares and micrometeoroid impacts.
- Oversee the deployment of life-support systems, managing oxygen generation and water recycling loops.
- Mentor junior engineers and provide technical guidance on zero-gravity physics and materials science.
- Present complex technical concepts to stakeholders and government liaisons.
Qualifications
- Master’s degree in Aerospace Engineering, Physics, or a related STEM field (PhD preferred).
- Minimum of 8 years of experience in structural engineering, preferably within the aerospace or defense industry.
- Proven experience leading cross-functional teams in high-stakes engineering projects.
- Familiarity with zero-gravity simulation software (e.g., ANSYS, Nastran) and 3D modeling tools (e.g., SolidWorks, CATIA).
- Strong understanding of orbital mechanics and thermal control systems.
- Excellent problem-solving skills and the ability to work effectively in remote, isolated environments.
