Forge the Future:
Join Voyager Technologies

The future belongs to those who build it. At Voyager Technologies, we’re building technologies that protect lives, expand frontiers and prepare us for what’s next. And we’re doing that with people who are wired to solve, build, adapt and lead. These roles are not for the faint of heart.

You’ll help lay the foundation for humanity's future. Join a culture where innovation thrives, curiosity is rewarded, and impact is real. We’re a company of doers, thinkers and builders, united by purpose and grounded in reality.

If you want to put your skills to work where the stakes are real and the mission is bigger than any one person, forge the future with Voyager.

We are seeking a Senior Technical Director, Advanced Mission Critical Electronics to define and lead the development of our next‑generation computing, sensing, and communications architectures. This role requires a leader who challenges the status quo of "traditional space." We are looking for an expert who champions the adoption of modern, commercially derived electronics (COTS) for spaceborne applications over legacy "rad‑hard by design" practices.

You will drive the development of systems that span defense and commercial applications across all domains—from surface to airborne—with a specific, intense focus on spaceborne applications at all orbits (LEO, MEO, GEO, and cislunar). You will be joining the Advanced Technology Development team, a specialized unit within our Strategic Growth and Technology Organization. This team is responsible for defining and developing Voyager's future technologies, with a relentless focus on high‑impact, high‑ROI technology and product research and development.

Our technology portfolio spans the totality of Voyager's capabilities and beyond—we are tasked with creating both leap‑ahead capabilities in existing technology areas and strategically moving into and developing foundational technology in new, uncharted areas.

• Define Electronics Strategy:
  Create the technical roadmap for Voyager’s mission‑critical electronics portfolio, covering high‑performance edge computing, software‑defined radios, and advanced sensor suites.
• Architect for Space:
  Lead the transition from traditional, expensive, low‑performance rad‑hard components to resilient architectures that utilize modern automotive and industrial‑grade silicon. You will define hybrid hardware/software fault tolerance architectures, leveraging a mix of circuit‑level protections (latch‑up limiting, ECC) and software‑defined mitigation (scrubbing, checkpointing, algorithmic redundancy) to enable state‑of‑the‑art performance in orbit.
• Cross‑Domain Integration:
  Ensure that electronic subsystems are designed for modularity and scalability, capable of being deployed on a ground vehicle, a high‑altitude drone, or a satellite with minimal redesign.
• Lead Hardware/Software Convergence:
  Bridge the gap between electrical engineering and software teams to co‑design for reliability. You will ensure that hardware is designed "software‑first," enabling rapid updates, modern CI/CD workflows, and intelligent software recovery layers that can handle hardware upsets transparently.
• Technical Execution:
  Oversee the full lifecycle of electronics development, from schematic capture and PCB layout reviews to thermal analysis, radiation testing, and final flight qualification.

• Bachelor's Degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or Physics.
• Electronics Leadership: 10+ years of experience leading the development of complex electronics hardware, including high‑speed digital design, FPGA/SoC integration,…
