Responsibilities
Deploy and manage solar-powered aircraft and ground systems at test ranges and customer environments. Act as the primary link between field operations and engineering teams to drive product iteration through data capture and feedback.
Requirements
Requires 2+ years of experience operating real hardware systems in aerospace, defense, or robotics. Must be comfortable with frequent travel to remote locations and possess strong hands-on troubleshooting skills across hardware and software.
Full job description
Icarus was founded on the belief that the Stratosphere is the Forgotten Frontier and that reclaiming it will define the next era of aerospace and what is possible from the sky. We build solar-powered aircraft that fly at 60,000 ft for weeks at a time, delivering persistent, affordable, and scalable presence from this layer of the atmosphere.
Mission
Re-establish and maintain dominance in the Stratosphere.
What you’ll do
Deploy forward with our aircraft and ground systems to test ranges, airfields, and customer environments, and own getting them set up and operational.
Provide end-to-end field support: system setup, software and hardware configuration, integration with site infrastructure, and pre-deployment checkout.
Troubleshoot hardware, software, and networking issues in real time, in unstructured environments, and drive them to resolution.
Own flight test campaigns, demonstrations, and exercises in the field, with high autonomy and minimal support.
Train and guide operators and customers on how to run our systems and get the most out of them.
Be the link between the field and engineering: capture flight data, ground truth, and operator feedback, run incident reviews, and feed clear, specific recommendations back into the product.
Build and grow the forward-deployed function: the people, procedures, runbooks, and standards that keep our aircraft flying for weeks at a time in support of our customers.
Work closely with mechanical, GNC, RF, and software teams.
What we’re looking for
2+ years supporting, deploying, or operating real hardware systems in the field (aerospace, defense, robotics, autonomy, or hardware startups).
Strong hands-on troubleshooting across hardware, software, and networking. You're comfortable with tools, cables, configs, and the command line, and you stay calm when something breaks far from home.
Practical technical range over deep specialization: comfortable with networking fundamentals and software/hardware setup and configuration. You don't need to be the deepest engineer in any one discipline — you need to make the whole system work in the field, and help others do the same.
A track record of operating independently in ambiguous, high-pressure environments, and of bringing structure where there was none.
Strong communication skills. You can work with engineers, operators, and customers, and translate between them.
Willingness to travel frequently and operate out of test ranges, airfields, and remote locations for extended periods.
This is a hands-on hardware and field role, not a desk software job.
Military operations experience is a plus, especially in aviation or aviation-adjacent communities with "air sense" (JTAC, JFO, CCT, ATC, aviation operations).
Why Icarus
Meaningful equity
Top market salary and bonuses
Health, dental, and vision insurance
Factory in El Segundo
Real ownership, real hardware, real flight
Small team, massive responsibility
High signal (engineering) to noise (management) culture
Dream desk setup
Daily lunch
Unlimited celsius
This is not a normal engineering job
We are pioneers, not corporate managers. Icarus deliberately optimizes for a high signal (engineers) to noise (management) ratio, where engineering, flight, and execution matter more than process, politics, or management overhead.
You will work side by side with the CEO and a small team of world-class builders. You will own the aircraft in the field end to end — get it running, get it right, and get it back into the air, faster every time.
We expect full extreme ownership. This is a high-trust, no-BS team, and everyone pulls their weight.
We are hiring across the stack: mechanical, aerodynamics, RF, GNC, electrical, avionics, power electronics, energy storage, software, and systems.
We want builders. No hand-holding. No fluff. No fake projects. No slide decks. No sitting in meetings all day. Just raw execution, real hardware, and real flight.
You must thrive under pressure, learn fast, troubleshoot in the field, and push systems to their limits. We move fast. We go to Mojave at 4 am in the morning. We expect results and an obsession with quality and speed.
You will be a senior presence in the field, taking systems into the real world and driving rapid iteration loops. If you want real ownership, real hardware, and real flight, this is it.
No tourists. No bystanders. Only builders.
