Full Job Description

Who We Are GITAI is a space robotics company working to reduce the cost of work in space by 100x. Space is no longer defined only by the cost of launch. Satellites, space stations, lunar infrastructure, and defense systems are becoming more capable and more ambitious. But getting hardware to space is only the first step. The harder problem is doing useful work once it is there. GITAI develops robotic systems for orbital, lunar, and defense applications. Our robots are designed for tasks such as assembly, inspection, maintenance, construction, and surface operations in environments where human labor is expensive, dangerous, or impractical. To move fast and drive cost down, we keep hardware, software, testing, and integration close together. This allows our team to learn from real tests, shorten development cycles, and reduce dependency on slow external handoffs. We are still early. The systems, the company, and the market are all being built at the same time. If you are the kind of person who finds energy in hard problems and wants to build through difficult challenges before the path is fully clear, GITAI may be the right place for you. About The Role As an Operations Associate at GITAI, you will support the daily operations of a fast-moving hardware startup. This is an entry-level role designed for someone early in their career, but it is not a light administrative role. You will learn startup operations by doing the work directly: office operations, purchasing support, receiving and shipping, employee travel, internal events, benefits and onboarding support, vendor coordination, finance administration, and basic process documentation. We do not expect you to know everything on day one. We do expect you to notice problems, ask good questions, follow through, and close the loop. Small operational misses can cost engineers time, so reliability matters here. If you want a narrow office job with fixed tasks, this is not the right role. If you want to learn how a hard-t
