About the job

Oligo is revolutionizing spacecraft design and production through a cutting-edge, manufacturing-in-the-loop foundation model. Our mission is to empower customers to concentrate solely on their technology and mission objectives, while we expertly manage everything from design and manufacturing to launch and operations. With a team comprised of ex-MIT, Harvard, and NASA JPL experts, we leverage AI-driven generative design and automated manufacturing to deliver advanced payload-specific spacecraft in mere weeks instead of months.
Supported by world-class advisors and fresh funding from top investors including Lux Capital, we seek exceptional builders, quick learners, and driven engineers. If your expertise lies in spacecraft systems, avionics, ML/AI, or advanced manufacturing, you will collaborate across disciplines on real missions that fly, function in orbit, and scale globally.
Our innovative environment pairs elite AI/ML talent with top-tier satellite engineers, reimagining the construction of space systems from first principles. Experience a workplace without bureaucracy or legacy thinking.
If you feel you are a great fit, we can’t wait to meet you!
Role Overview
As part of Oligo's vertically integrated infrastructure for automated spacecraft design and manufacturing, our AI software stack, Zenith, transforms raw mission requirements into flight-ready spacecraft using a pipeline of agentic AI systems, embedded simulation, and hardware-in-the-loop validation.
We are actively seeking a passionate Software Engineer with a solid foundation in ML/AI and systems engineering. In this role, you will help to enhance core algorithms that drive generative design, simulation-aware geometry creation, and multi-domain system optimization. Work alongside spacecraft engineers and flight software developers to create AI that not only simulates reality but actively designs it.
Specifically, we are hiring for an early-career AI Space Systems Software Engineer to develop the next layer of intelligence within our design stack—intelligent agents capable of reasoning across spacecraft requirements, mission architectures, and system constraints. Your contributions will involve the development of large-scale language and vision-language models trained on authentic systems engineering data, fostering tools that expedite and validate satellite design while automating model-based systems engineering.
