Senior Facilities & Infrastructure Engineer

Cowboy Space Corporation is solving the global energy crisis by building the infrastructure for abundant, resilient space-based solar energy. We are tackling one of humanity’s most complex engineering challenges with a world-class team dedicated to delivering a revolutionary power platform. Cowboy Space Corporation is transforming how civilization powers, computes, and connects - from orbit to Earth.

Cowboy Space Corporation is building the infrastructure to power and connect the orbital economy. Our modular, scalable satellites collect sunlight in Low Earth Orbit to enable multiple integrated applications: transmitting energy via infrared lasers (space-to-Earth and space-to-space), powering on-orbit high-performance computing clusters (GPU/TPU), and providing secure, high-bandwidth optical data transport.

Current energy and data systems rely on complex logistics and outdated infrastructure. Cowboy Space Corporation overcomes these challenges by enabling direct, on-demand, secure, and scalable energy distribution and data processing from space. This will revolutionize how we operate in orbit and on Earth, supporting the rapidly expanding space industrial base, ISAM (In-Space Servicing, Assembly, and Manufacturing) operations, remote regions, and military bases.

Baiju Bhatt founded Cowboy Space Corporation in 2024. Inspired by his father’s work with NASA Langley Research Center, Baiju earned his B.S. in Physics and M.S. in Mathematics at Stanford before co-founding Robinhood, now a public company that has helped over 20 million Americans access the financial system. Cowboy Space Corporation has raised ~$365 million from Index Ventures, Interlagos, Construct Ventures, Breakthrough Energy Ventures, Andreessen Horowitz, NEA, and others.

This is an ambitious mission that demands extraordinary talent. Cowboy Space Corporation ’s team has worked at places like SpaceX, Blue Origin, Stoke Space, Astranis and NASA, and is based in San Carlos, CA. If you're ready to solve complex technical challenges and help build the most important energy company in the world, we want to hear from you.

We're looking for a Senior Facilities & Infrastructure Engineer to develop, commission, and improve the infrastructure supporting Cowboy Space's approximately 290,000-square-foot manufacturing site in Kent, Washington. You'll translate manufacturing and equipment needs into facility requirements, lead technical projects through construction and commissioning, and solve utility and building-system problems as the site moves into production.

You'll own the technical execution of facility systems and infrastructure projects, from requirements and design review through field coordination, commissioning, and operational support. You'll work with manufacturing engineering, production, on-site test teams, EHS, and IT/security, and coordinate qualified civil, structural, geotechnical, and mechanical/electrical engineers for specialist design and required professional approvals. You'll develop the technical standards, system documentation, and maintenance practices needed for reliable operations and future growth.

This is a full-time, on-site position in Kent, Washington, requiring work on-site five days per week.

• Lead facilities engineering projects for the Kent buildout and transition to operations with the landlord, project management firm, architects, engineers, utilities, and contractors. Own technical scope, schedule, field coordination, commissioning, and handover for assigned projects.
• Translate manufacturing plans and equipment requirements into utility demand, capacity, layout, and infrastructure plans. Identify constraints early and sequence upgrades, installations,…
