Scout Space is building a new way to see and operate in space: with a new paradigm of data empowering every satellite to make space safer. We are a rapidly growing team; we are deploying real solutions to orbit over the next 2 years; and our work will transform the face of spaceflight. We are looking for people who bring excitement and energy to our organization, are curious and eager to learn, and want to help drive our programs forward.
Scout is seeking a highly experienced Parts Engineering and Reliability Engineering Subject Matter Expert to join our Mission Assurance team.

This is a hands-on, high-impact role for a seasoned engineer who thrives in a fast-paced, seed-stage space startup environment and wants to help build parts and reliability engineering processes from the ground up.
