Scout Space is a company that builds space domain awareness sensors and software to detect, track, and characterize objects in orbit.
<p><span data-contrast="none">Scout 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.</span><span data-ccp-props="{"335557856":16777215,"335559738":240,"335559739":240}"> </span></p> <p><span data-contrast="auto">Scout Space is seeking a mission-driven </span><strong><span data-contrast="auto">Director of Engineering</span></strong><span data-contrast="auto"> to lead the execution, growth, and technical direction of our engineering organization.
