We build solar-powered aircraft that fly at 60,000 ft for weeks at a time, delivering persistent, affordable, and scalable presence from this layer of the atmosphere.\nMission Re-establish and maintain dominance in the Stratosphere.\nWhat you’ll do Design and fly high-reliability avionics for stratospheric aircraft\nOwn electrical subsystems from concept to flight\nBuild, bring up, debug, and iterate fast\nSupport integration, production, and flight ops\nWork closely with mechanical, GNC, RF, and software teams\nWhat we’re looking for 1+ years building real electronic hardware\nStrong fundamentals in EE and first-principles thinking\nExperience with power electronics, avionics, or high-reliability systems\nComfortable moving fast, owning outcomes, and debugging in the field\nWhy Icarus Meaningful equity\nTop market salary and bonuses\nHealth, dental, and vision insurance\nReal ownership, real hardware, real flight\nSmall team, massive responsibility\nHigh signal (engineering) to noise (management) culture\nDream desk setup\nDaily lunch\nThis is not a normal engineering job We are pioneers, not corporate managers. Icarus deliberately optimizes for a high signal (engineers) to noise (management) ratio, where engineering, flight, and execution matter more than process, politics, or management overhead\nYou will work side by side with the CEO and a small team of world-class builders. You will own your subsystem end to end. Design it. Build it. Break it. Fix it. Validate it in the desert. Fly it. Then do it again, faster\nWe expect full extreme ownership. This is a high-trust, no-BS team, and everyone pulls their weight\nWe are hiring across the stack: mechanical, aerodynamics, RF, GNC, electrical, avionics, power electronics, energy storage, software, and systems\nWe want builders. No hand-holding. No fluff. No fake projects. No slide decks. No sitting in meetings all day. Just raw engineering, real hardware, and real flight\nYou must thrive under pressure, learn fast, troubleshoot in the field, and push hardware to its limits. We move fast. We go to Mojave at 4 am in the morning . We expect results and an obsession with quality and speed\nYou will be a core executor of flight systems, taking them from concept to reality and driving rapid iteration loops. You will work across design, integration, testing, and flight. If you want real ownership, real hardware, and real flight milestones, this is it.\nNo tourists. No bystanders. Only builders.\nHiring process Technical interview\nOne‑on‑one with CEO\nMeet the team in‑person\nUS salary range $100,000 - $160,000 USD\nThe salary range for this role is an estimate based on a wide range of compensation factors, inclusive of base salary only. Actual salary may vary based on (but not limited to) work experience, education and/or training, critical skills, and/or business considerations. Highly competitive equity grants are considered part of Icarus' total compensation package.\nWe’re an equal opportunity employer.
