Softgoods Technican

  • Location: Rockledge, Florida
  • Type: Permanent
  • Job #8119
  • Salary: NON 140,000

Softgoods Technician

Space Coast, Florida | Onsite, full time | US citizens only | 2+ years' hands-on experience

THE COMPANY

Our client builds expandable space habitats: structures that pack into a rocket fairing and deploy to many times their stowed volume in orbit, on the Moon and beyond. The pressure shell is fabric, which means the people who sew, weld and seal it are central to whether the vehicle flies. The company is backed by strategic investment from a listed industry partner, holds government funding against its lunar programme, and is targeting a habitat on the lunar surface in 2028. Nobody has done this before.

They are hiring two Softgoods Technicians to build flight hardware alongside a small, highly skilled team.

WHAT THE JOB REALLY IS

This is a sewing role first. You will spend your days on industrial sewing machines, including heavy duty long arm machines, working with large panels of specialised technical textile to tight tolerances against engineering drawings. If you are an exceptional sewer, most of the rest can be taught.

Beyond sewing, the role covers fabric welding, heat sealing, layup, hand finishing, assembly and general build support. You will work directly with engineering to improve how things get built, not just execute what you are handed.

They are looking for people who take ownership, spot problems and say so, and hold their nerve when the technical picture gets difficult. This is a small team and nobody fades into the background.

RESPONSIBILITIES

  • Sew large-scale softgoods assemblies on industrial machines, including heavy duty long arm machines, to engineering drawings and complex work instructions.
  • Operate fabric welders and heat sealers to produce consistent, flight-quality seams.
  • Perform hand sewing, finishing and detail work where the machine cannot go.
  • Handle, cut, pattern and prepare large panels of technical textile without damaging fragile material.
  • Run the pattern sewing machine (training provided, no prior programming experience needed).
  • Support spacecraft assembly and integration operations.
  • Work with engineering to improve build processes, repeatability and quality.
  • Maintain a clean, organised and controlled work area to aerospace standards.

WHAT YOU WILL NEED

  • US citizenship.
  • High school diploma or equivalent.
  • 2+ years' hands-on professional sewing or fabrication experience on industrial machines, working with large panels of technical or load-bearing material.
  • Genuine skill at the machine. This is the qualification that matters most.
  • The ability to work to a drawing and hit a tolerance.
  • Attention to detail and pride in workmanship.

WHERE YOU MIGHT HAVE COME FROM

The client is deliberately open on industry background. Strong routes in include:

  • Aerospace sewing. MLI blanket fabrication, spacesuit or pressure garment work, inflatable or expandable structures, parachutes and airbags.
  • Sailmaking. Load-bearing sail construction on large-format industrial machines. Panel geometry and material handling at scale translate very well.
  • Technical outdoor gear, marine canvas, or any high-specification cut-and-sew discipline.

The strongest candidates combine sailmaker-level sewing with an aerospace background. If you have both, we want to hear from you.

NICE TO HAVE

  • Experience with expandable or inflatable structures.
  • Cleanroom or controlled-environment experience.
  • Working knowledge of technical textiles, laminates and coated fabrics.
  • Confidence with hand and power tools and calibrated measuring equipment.
  • Clear written and verbal communication.

PRACTICALITIES

  • Onsite in Brevard County, Florida. Monday to Friday, 8am to 5pm, with overtime and occasional weekends as the build demands.
  • Space Coast local strongly preferred. Relocation considered case by case.
  • Must pass an internal background check.
  • Physically active role: lifting, standing, bending, climbing, reaching and carrying. Must lift 50lbs unassisted.
  • Comfortable in a workshop environment with noise, fumes and odours.

Firmware Engineer

  • Location: Cambridge, Massachusetts
  • Type: Permanent
  • Job #8116
  • Salary: NON 150,000

Firmware Engineer

Location: Cambridge, MA (onsite, with field deployment opportunities)
Compensation: Targeting around $150,000, with flexibility for the right person.

Are you excited by the challenge of building embedded systems that operate in one of Earth's most extreme and least understood environments? This organization is developing next-generation autonomous underwater robotics that advance weather prediction, aquaculture, shipping, national security, and ocean science. Their vehicles are deployed and operating around the world today, from the Caribbean to open ocean. They're seeking a Firmware Engineer to help push the boundaries of ocean intelligence.

The Opportunity

Take ownership of embedded firmware for mission-critical robotic systems built on STM32 platforms. You'll drive architecture, development, and integration while working closely with electrical, mechanical, and systems engineers. From board bring-up to sea trials, you'll see your work deployed in the real world, diving into the ocean and returning with meaningful data.

Important context on the stack: this is bare-metal and RTOS firmware in C. It is not a ROS or full Linux robotics stack, and it is not a C++ application-layer role. If you are the kind of engineer who knows an STM32 family inside out, including every quirk ST has thrown at the world, this will feel like home.

What You'll Do

  • Develop embedded firmware in C for autonomous ocean vehicles, covering power systems, motor control, sensors, and communication interfaces.
  • Architect and evolve STM32 firmware libraries, HALs, and modular embedded codebases.
  • Bring up new hardware platforms, including bootloaders, peripheral drivers, and low-level interfaces.
  • Collaborate closely with hardware teams during full-system integration and lab testing.
  • Build automated test frameworks and CI pipelines for robust, testable firmware.
  • Support sea trials and offshore deployments, rapidly debugging and iterating in the field.
  • Contribute to a disciplined, documentation-focused engineering culture as the team grows.

What You'll Bring

  • Around 10 years of embedded systems experience, mid to senior level, with expertise in bare-metal and RTOS development. Somewhat under or over is fine if the domain fit is right.
  • Deep, hands-on fluency with STM32 microcontrollers, including HAL/LL, CubeMX, interrupt-driven design, and peripheral bring-up.
  • Firmware experience on systems that are battery powered, that communicate, and that move. This is the single hardest requirement to meet and the one that matters most. Robotics, drones, AMRs, underwater vehicles, or comparable mobile resource-constrained products.
  • Strong C skills and familiarity with embedded software best practices (state machines, modular design, fixed-point math).
  • Experience with JTAG/SWD debugging, logic analyzers, oscilloscopes, and profiling tools.
  • Knowledge of CAN, UART, SPI, I2C, and RS-485 communication protocols.
  • Strong written and technical communication. You can explain your work clearly and concisely.
  • Ability to thrive in fast-paced, hardware-centric R&D environments.
  • U.S. citizenship required.

Bonus Points

  • Some electrical engineering bleed, enough to read a schematic and reason about the hardware you're writing for. A strong pure-firmware engineer is equally welcome.
  • Experience with underwater or extreme-environment robotics.
  • Familiarity with low-power system design and sleep-state management.
  • Scripting experience (Python, Bash) for tooling and automation.
  • Exposure to software safety standards, static analysis, or unit testing frameworks.
  • Background supporting field deployments, sea trials, or remote robotic systems.
  • Experience with CI tools such as GitHub Actions or Jenkins.
