Turning Space into a Transportation Layer for Earth

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.

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 Senior Antenna Engineer, you will lead the design, analysis, integration, and validation of antenna systems supporting Inversion’s next-generation re-entry vehicles.

Requirements

capture and EM simulation through prototyping, installed performance evaluation, and mission-readiness testing. This role is ideal for an experienced engineer with deep expertise in antenna design and electromagnetic analysis, and with strong judgment in translating system-level communication and vehicle constraints into robust antenna solutions. You will help develop critical hardware and systems for cutting-edge maneuverable reentry vehicles - advancing one of the most capable reentry vehicle platforms ever developed.

You will be a key member of the Avionics team, reporting directly to the Director of Engineering, Avionics. Our engineers are responsible for the complete lifecycle of the hardware they create, including design, analysis, prototyping, test, and integration.

and perform supporting electromagnetic simulation and analysis to meet system-level performance needs. Develop antenna concepts and trade studies across gain, bandwidth, efficiency, polarization, impedance matching, size, placement, and environmental constraints. Model and predict antenna and vehicle-level RF performance using EM simulation tools and installed-performance analysis methods.

Plan and execute antenna prototyping, tuning, and validation activities for component-level and integrated system testing. Perform antenna measurements including impedance, return loss, radiation pattern, gain, efficiency, and polarization using anechoic chamber, near-field, and far-field test methods. Support integration of antennas with RF front-end hardware, vehicle structures, radomes, thermal systems, and other avionics subsystems.

Evaluate installation effects and recommend mitigation strategies for performance degradation due to vehicle geometry, nearby structures, radomes, thermal protection systems, or other environmental constraints. Partner closely with RF, electrical, mechanical, thermal, software, and systems engineering teams to ensure successful antenna implementation.
