Sign up with Clera and we'll reach out the moment a role actually fits you — no more spraying applications into the void.
Serve as the primary technical authority for spacecraft thermal design, modeling, and thermal protection system sizing for hypersonic reentry vehicles. Lead multi-physics analysis efforts and establish company-wide thermal standards while mentoring senior engineers.
Requires a Bachelor's degree in Mechanical or Aerospace Engineering with typically 8+ years of experience in high-temperature aerospace thermal design. Expertise in industry-standard tools like Thermal Desktop or ANSYS Thermal and a strong foundation in multi-physics heat transfer are essential.
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 a Staff Thermal Engineer at Inversion, you will report directly to the Senior Manager of Arc Vehicle Reentry. In this role, you will be the primary technical authority on spacecraft thermal design, modeling, and thermal protection system (TPS) sizing. You will define the thermal architecture for our hypersonic reentry vehicles to ensure structures, avionics, payloads, and mechanical flight controls survive extreme reentry environments. You will lead complex multi-physics analysis efforts, establish company-wide thermal standards, mentor senior engineers, and translate high-level program requirements into validated, flight-ready thermal control systems.
