Full Job Description
Turning Space into a Transportation Layer for Earth Who We Are: Inversion builds advanced reentry systems to deliver next-generation capabilities from space. Our mission is to make Earth radically more accessible by turning Low-Earth Orbit into an on-demand logistics domain. We see space not as a destination, but as a platform — one that unlocks unprecedented speed and global reach. Our spacecraft are designed to deliver payloads anywhere on Earth in under an hour, operating through extreme reentry conditions and landing with high precision. These systems open the door to new ways of testing, delivering, and operating at hypersonic speeds. Inherently dual-use, our technology is built to meet urgent national security needs while laying the groundwork for future commercial applications. Backed by leading investors including Y Combinator, Spark Capital, and Lockheed Martin Ventures, and working with partners such as the U. S. Space Force and NASA, Inversion is pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in space-based defense and logistics. What You'll Do As the Manager of Arc Vehicle Integration & Test at Inversion, you will report directly to the Chief Engineer of Arc. In this role, you will lead the physical assembly, integration, and testing of our next-generation Arc hypersonic reentry vehicle. You will own the end-to-end execution of the Arc integration and environmental qualification campaigns to deliver the vehicle for flight operations. You will have direct line authority over daily tasking and execution priorities for the Arc AI&T team, coordinating closely with the VP of Production and the centralized manufacturing organization to leverage machining, harnessing, electronics assembly, thermal protection systems (TPS) application, and quality inspection resources. Key Responsibilities Lead daily operations, scheduling, and tasking for the Arc Vehicle Assembly Integration & Test (AI&T) activities, including managing a small team of Manufacturing Engineers, Test E
