PsiQuantum’s mission is to build the first useful quantum computers—machines capable of delivering the breakthroughs the field has long promised. Since our founding in 2016, our singular focus has been to build and deploy million-qubit, fault-tolerant quantum systems. 

Quantum computers harness the laws of quantum mechanics to solve problems that even the most advanced supercomputers or AI systems will never reach. Their impact will span energy, pharmaceuticals, finance, agriculture, transportation, materials, and other foundational industries. 

Our architecture and approach is based on silicon photonics. By leveraging the advanced semiconductor manufacturing industry—including partners like GlobalFoundries—we use the same high-volume processes that already produce billions of chips for telecom and consumer electronics. Photonics offers natural advantages for scale: photons don’t feel heat, are immune to electromagnetic interference, and integrate with existing cryogenic cooling and standard fiber-optic infrastructure. 

In 2024, PsiQuantum announced government-funded projects to support the build-out of our first utility-scale quantum computers in Brisbane, Australia, and Chicago, Illinois. These initiatives reflect a growing recognition that quantum computing will be strategically and economically defining—and that now is the time to scale. 

PsiQuantum also develops the algorithms and software needed to make these systems commercially valuable. Our application, software, and industry teams work directly with leading Fortune 500 companies—including Lockheed Martin, Mercedes-Benz, Boehringer Ingelheim, and Mitsubishi Chemical—to prepare quantum solutions for real-world impact. 

Quantum computing is not an extension of classical computing. It represents a fundamental shift—and a path to mastering challenges that cannot be solved any other way. The potential is enormous, and we have a clear path to make it real. 

Come join us.

ABOUT THE JOB 

Anduril’s Talent Strategy, Experience & Enablement team is seeking a TA Onboarding Specialist to own the end-to-end onboarding experience for our Recruiters and Recruiting Coordinators. This is not a generic HR onboarding role — this person will design and execute an onboarding program purpose-built for TA professionals, ensuring every new recruiter and coordinator ramps faster, builds confidence in our tools and processes, and integrates into Anduril’s recruiting culture from day one. 

The right person for this role understands that onboarding a recruiter is fundamentally different from onboarding a software engineer or a finance hire. Recruiters need to learn our ATS, sourcing tools, and CRM. They need to understand our operating principles, interview methodology, and competency framework. They need to know the business lines they support, the hiring managers they’ll partner with, and the technical domains they’ll recruit for. And they need to build credibility with their stakeholders fast — because every week a recruiter is ramping is a week they’re not filling roles. 

You will be the primary point of contact for every new TA hire from offer acceptance through their first 90 days. You’ll partner closely with the Talent Enablement Program Manager on training content, the TA Systems team on tool access and proficiency, and recruiting leadership on business line immersion. If you thrive on building seamless experiences, obsess over the details that make someone feel set up for success, and want to directly impact how fast our recruiting engine scales, this role is for you. 

WHAT YOU’LL DO 

• TA-Specific Onboarding Ownership: Own the end-to-end onboarding experience for all new Recruiters and Recruiting Coordinators — from offer acceptance through 90-day check-in — ensuring a seamless, structured, and confidence-building ramp into their role.
• Recruiter Ramp Program Design: Design and maintain a TA-specific onboarding curriculum that covers ATS/CRM proficiency, sourcing tool training, interview methodology, operating principles and competency framework orientation, business line immersion, and hiring manager relationship-building.
• Role-Specific Onboarding Paths: Build and maintain structured 30/60/90 day onboarding plans for each TA role (Recruiter, Senior Recruiter, Recruiting Coordinator, Sourcer) with clear milestones, proficiency checkpoints, and success criteria.
• Pre-boarding & Day One Readiness: Coordinate pre-boarding logistics: system access, tool provisioning, team introductions, hiring manager connection, and first-week scheduling. Ensure no new hire shows up on day one without everything they need.
• TA Culture & Process Orientation: Conduct engaging TA-specific orientation sessions that go beyond generic company onboarding — instilling a deep understanding of Anduril’s recruiting culture, operating principles (Speed, Autonomy, Scale, Impact), the Behavioral Question Bank, and what “great” looks like in our hiring process.
• New Hire Liaison & Support: Serve as the primary point of contact for new TA hires, providing guidance, answering questions, and proactively identifying when someone is struggling or falling behind on ramp milestones.
• Cross-Functional Partnership: Partner with the Talent Enablement Program Manager to ensure onboarding content stays current and aligned with broader enablement programs. Collaborate with TA Systems on tool training and access. Work with recruiting leadership on business line immersion scheduling.
• Onboarding Materials & Knowledge Base: Develop, refine, and maintain onboarding playbooks, checklists, guides, and resource libraries specific to the TA function. Ensure materials reflect current processes, tools, and best practices.
• Metrics & Continuous Improvement: Track onboarding completion rates, ramp time to first hire, new hire satisfaction scores, and hiring manager confidence in new recruiter readiness. Use data to identify gaps and continuously improve the onboarding experience.
• Feedback Loops & Iteration: Proactively identify friction points in the TA onboarding experience and drive improvements. Gather feedback from new hires, their managers, and their stakeholders to inform iteration. 

WORKS WITH

• Talent Enablement Program Manager (content alignment, training curriculum)
• TA Systems Senior Manager (tool access, ATS/CRM training)
• Recruiting Leadership & Functional Managers (business line immersion, hiring manager intros)
• People Operations (HR onboarding integration, compliance, benefits enrollment)
• New Recruiters & Recruiting Coordinators (primary audience) 

REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS

• 3+ years of experience in onboarding, people operations, program management, or talent acquisition enablement.
• Direct experience onboarding recruiting or talent acquisition professionals, or strong enough TA domain knowledge to design a credible ramp program for recruiters and coordinators.
• Strong knowledge of onboarding processes, procedures, and best practices — with a bias toward structured, milestone-driven programs over ad-hoc orientation.
• Excellent organizational and project management skills, with the ability to manage multiple new hire cohorts simultaneously without dropping details.
• Exceptional communication and interpersonal abilities, with a customer-service mindset — new hires should feel supported, not processed.

 Sr. Paraglider & Parachute Engineer 

Location: Playa Vista, California (in-person, five days per week) 

Launch has changed the economics of space. Now it is time to return. 

Outpost is building the missing infrastructure between orbit and Earth: reusable vehicles that can bring payloads back from space and deliver them to a precise location within hours. We call it exologistics, space-to-Earth logistics at planetary scale. This is not a paper concept or a distant roadmap. Our system is in active development, with core technologies advancing toward flight readiness. 

The need is already here and the market has responded. We have validated demand through multiple defense and civil agreements, and a growing pipeline across government and commercial customers.  

Outpost is building the logistics layer that makes space economically useful in a new way: the ability to move material from orbit to Earth quickly, reliably, and affordably.

• Background in skydiving, paragliding, or rigging (FAA Master Rigger certification is a plus).
• Experience simulating fluid structure interaction & deformed shape analysis (LS-DYNA or similar). 

Compensation & Benefits

• Competitive compensation: $160,000 - $210,000; (commensurate with experience).
• Additional Compensation:  Annual performance-based bonuses that reward your impact.
• Shared upside: Meaningful equity in Outpost so you share directly in the value you help create.
• Comprehensive healthcare: Medical, dental, and vision coverage to keep you and your loved ones covered. We cover the base tier of medical insurance and all premiums of vision and dental. 
  
• Protection when it matters: Company-provided short- and long-term disability coverage for peace of mind, plus life insurance for even more security.
• PTO: Recharge on your own terms with paid time off, plus 9 days of paid holidays.
• Invest in your future: 401(k) with company match to help you build long-term wealth.

This is a chance to join a company with real traction, working on a problem that matters, at the point where execution and scale begin to define the outcome.

The Role 

We are looking for a Mechanical Engineer who will own the mechanical test and qualification process for spacecraft components and vehicles from concept through execution and data analysis. This is a deeply mechanical role with elements of mechatronics, instrumentation, and software for data acquisition, with strong ownership over how our hardware is qualified for flight.  

You will design and build test fixtures and portable test racks, define test plans (qualification, acceptance, drop, load, vibration, deployment, etc.), execute tests, and analyze results to inform design and certification decisions. Rather than “pressing the button” on pre‑defined procedures, you will create new tests and infrastructure for new products in a fast‑moving space startup environment.  

Responsibilities 

• Own mechanical test and qualification activities for spacecraft components and vehicles, from requirements interpretation through test execution and reporting. 
• Develop test strategies and plans for qualification tests, acceptance tests, drop/load tests, deployment tests, and other space‑relevant environments.  
• Design, model, and document mechanical test fixtures, jigs, stands, and custom setups (e.g., for heat shield, mechanisms, and structural testing).  
• Architect and help implement portable test racks integrating power supplies, sensors, data acquisition, and control hardware into organized, reusable systems.  
• Define instrumentation approaches (load cells, strain gauges, displacement, pressure, temperature, etc.) and work with electrical teammates to integrate sensors and wiring.  
• Implement and/or specify data acquisition and control software using tools such as LabVIEW, Python, or MATLAB for test automation and data collection.  
• Perform data reduction and analysis to extract key metrics, identify anomalies, and drive design or test configuration changes. 
• Create and maintain clear test documentation: test procedures, configuration drawings, calibration records, data packages, and test reports aligned with NASA‑style standards. 
• Read and interpret mechanical drawings and basic circuit/connection diagrams to ensure correct test configuration and boundary conditions.  
• Collaborate closely with design, systems, and manufacturing engineers to ensure tests meaningfully qualify hardware and trace back to requirements.  
• Contribute to the development of internal test standards and best practices, leveraging NASA and industry qualification guidelines as the “test bible.” 
• Provide technical leadership on test approach and infrastructure (technical management), even if you do not directly manage people.  

Qualifications 

• Bachelor’s or higher degree in Mechanical Engineering, Mechatronics, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience in hardware test development. 
• Strong, hands‑on mechanical background with experience designing and building test fixtures, stands, and mechanical setups for hardware tests.  
• Experience developing or significantly contributing to new tests for aerospace, space, or similarly high‑reliability hardware (not just operating existing, legacy rigs). 
• Familiarity with spacecraft or launch vehicle components, or other space/aviation hardware where qualification and reliability are critical.  
• Comfort working with sensors and instrumentation (wiring, basic electrical understanding) sufficient to own test setups without being an electrical engineer.  
• Experience with data acquisition and analysis using at least one of: LabVIEW, Python, MATLAB, or similar tools.  
• Ability to read and understand mechanical drawings (and basic circuit diagrams) to set up tests correctly and understand what is being verified.  
• Demonstrated ownership of end‑to‑end test efforts: planning, setup, execution, troubleshooting, and reporting.  
• Strong documentation habits and familiarity with following structured standards and guidelines (e.g., NASA‑style test and qualification documents).  
• Willingness to be hands‑on in the lab, build things from scratch, and iterate quickly in a startup environment.  

We are less focused on minimum years of experience and more interested in candidates who have truly developed tests and infrastructure themselves, rather than only operating pre‑defined procedures at large, highly bureaucratic companies.  

Preferred Experience 

• Experience in space startups or new‑product aerospace programs (rockets, satellites, spacecraft mechanisms) where tests were created from scratch. 
• Prior work with portable test racks or integrated test benches combining power, DAQ, and control in a cohesive system.
• Familiarity with NASA test/qualification standards and ASME Y14.5 drawing conventions at a functional level. 

Compensation & Benefits

• Competitive compensation: $120,000 – $180,000; (commensurate with experience).
• Additional Compensation:  Annual performance-based bonuses that reward your impact.
• Shared upside: Meaningful equity in Outpost so you share directly in the value you help create.
• Comprehensive healthcare: Medical, dental, and vision coverage to keep you and your loved ones covered. We cover the base tier of medical insurance and all premiums of vision and dental.

 Preferred Experience 

• Experience taking hardware through at least one formal design review (PDR or CDR); exposure to qualification testing strongly preferred. 
• Experience with reentry systems, atmospheric flight vehicles, TPS interfaces, or parachute/paraglider systems.
• Background integrating soft goods with rigid structures.
• Experience in hypersonic, supersonic, or high-aero-load environments.
• Field test experience (drop tests, flight tests, parachute deployments, etc.).
• Familiarity with DOF-limited mechanisms and precision actuation in harsh environments. 

Compensation & Benefits

• Competitive compensation: $125,000 – $160,000; (commensurate with experience).
• Additional Compensation:  Annual performance-based bonuses that reward your impact.
• Shared upside: Meaningful equity in Outpost so you share directly in the value you help create.

• Own the release process and quality bar for mechanical manufacturing drawings and geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (ASME Y14.5) across the department.
• Coordinate with the production team on structural qualification campaign end-to-end, static load, random vibration, shock, deployment, and environmental testing, to certify hardware for flight.
• Coordinate with the production team to stablish strategic relationships with machine shops, composite vendors, and external partners. Support make-vs-buy decisions and ensure supply chain resilience for precision flight hardware.
• Brief the CEO, board, customers, and government partners on structural design, risk posture, and program status. 

Qualifications 

• Bachelor's degree or higher in Mechanical, Aerospace, or Structural Engineering.
• 10+ years of experience in the design and analysis of complex aerospace structures and mechanisms, with at least 3+ years in a management or technical leadership role leading multi-disciplined engineering teams.
• Proven track record leading structures on full space vehicles or rockets (not just subsystems).
• Demonstrated experience hiring, scaling, and mentoring engineering teams of 5+ engineers; comfortable setting OKRs, running performance reviews, and managing costs.
• Expert-level fluency in Siemens NX, SolidWorks, or similar parametric modeling software, with the ability to drive standards across the team.
• Deep background in structural analysis (FEA) and classical hand calculations. You must trust your hand calcs before you trust the solver.
• Extensive understanding of aerospace materials (aluminum, titanium, inconel, composites) and their behavior in extreme thermal environments.
• Deep command of CNC machining, sheet metal, and welding with a design-for-manufacturing mindset you can instill across the org.
