Sign up with Clera and we'll reach out the moment a role actually fits you — no more spraying applications into the void.
Develop and execute targeted sourcing strategies to identify and engage top technical talent across various engineering disciplines. Partner with recruiters and hiring managers to manage candidate pipelines and assess technical alignment for space infrastructure roles.
Requires at least 5 years of experience in technical sourcing or talent acquisition with proficiency in ATS platforms and advanced sourcing tools. Candidates must be able to evaluate technical fit across disciplines like software, systems, mechanical, or aerospace engineering.
Vast is developing next-generation space stations and space infrastructure using an incremental, hardware-rich, and low-cost approach. Vast is rapidly developing its multi-module Haven Station to ensure a continuous human presence in space for America and its allies, enabling advanced microgravity research and manufacturing, and unlocking a new space economy for government, corporate, and private customers. Haven Demo’s 2025 success made Vast the only operational commercial space station company to fly and operate its own spacecraft. Next, Haven-1 is expected to become the world’s first commercial space station when it launches in 2027, followed by additional Haven modules. Additionally, the company recently announced Vast Satellite, a high-power satellite product line leveraging its space station components and the heritage of Haven Demo.
Headquartered in Long Beach, California, and with more than 1,000 employees and over a billion dollars in private capital, Vast has built the facilities required to manufacture and operate America’s next space station. The company plans to develop future habitats and systems for the Moon and Mars, dedicated space stations for government partners, and other crewed systems that will unlock the expanding long-term space economy.
Vast is looking for a Senior Technical Sourcer (Fixed-Term), reporting to the Manager of Talent Sourcing, to support the development of the systems that will be required for the design and build of artificial-gravity human-rated space stations.
You’ll be at the forefront of identifying and engaging the engineers who will design, build, and launch the next generation of human-rated space systems. This role offers a unique opportunity to deepen your technical recruiting expertise, partner closely with hiring teams, and influence how we attract world-class talent in one of the most ambitious industries on Earth.
This will be a 6 month fixed-term position located in our Long Beach location.
Minimum Qualifications:
We calibrate level and compensation to the selected candidate's experience and demonstrated capability. We welcome applicants across a range of experience levels to apply.
COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS
Base salary will vary depending on job-related knowledge, education, skills, experience, business needs, and market demand. Salary is just one component of our comprehensive compensation package. Full-time employees also receive company equity, as well as access to a full suite of compelling benefits and perks, including: medical, dental, and vision coverage for employees and dependents, generous paid time off; up to 20+ days of vacation for exempt staff and up to 10+ days of vacation for non-exempt staff with the ability to cash-out unused vacation annually, paid parental leave, short and long-term disability insurance, life insurance, access to a 401(k) retirement plan, ClassPass credits, personalized mental healthcare through Spring Health, and other discounts and perks. We also take pride in offering exceptional food perks, with snacks, drip coffee & onsite barista, cold drinks, and dinner meals remaining free of charge, and lunch subsidized as part of Vast’s ongoing commitment to providing high-quality meals for employees.
