Satellite Engineering

Cowboy Space Corp. is building the infrastructure to power and connect the orbital economy. Our satellites operate in Low Earth Orbit to collect sunlight and enable a new class of capabilities—from powering on-orbit compute, to transmitting energy via infrared lasers (space-to-earth and space-to-space), powering on-orbit compute to delivering secure, high-bandwidth optical data. By rethinking how energy and data are generated and distributed in space, we’re unlocking entirely new ways to operate both in orbit and on Earth.

Founded in 2024 by Baiju Bhatt (co-founder of Robinhood), Cowboy Space Corp. is backed by leading investors and built by a team from top aerospace and defense organizations. We’re moving quickly to solve complex technical challenges and build a new category of space infrastructure.

We are hiring across multiple satellite engineering disciplines and are looking for engineers with experience designing, building, integrating, testing, or operating spacecraft systems.

This is a broad opportunity for highly technical engineers who thrive in hands-on environments and want meaningful ownership over mission-critical space hardware.

Depending on background and experience, engineers may work across:

Spacecraft systems engineering

Satellite integration and test

Avionics and embedded systems

Power systems

Thermal and fluid systems

Structures and mechanisms

GNC and mission operations

Payload integration

Flight software and ground systems
