People

At Reflect, you will be expected to move fast, have a lot of ownership and, most importantly, be able to effect change. If this excites you, we are interested in hearing about your best work and accomplishments across any domain and from any points in your life.

About the Role

We’re hiring a Technical Recruiter with experience in the aerospace industry to help us scale. This is not just a back-office role - we’re looking for someone who’s out in the world, building relationships, mapping talent markets, and pulling future teammates into our mission.

Responsibilities

  • Hunt down top-tier engineering, manufacturing, and operations talent - wherever they are

  • Lead outbound recruiting efforts for engineering, manufacturing, and technical operations roles

  • Build and maintain pipelines of aerospace professionals across core disciplines (mechanical, GNC, avionics, manufacturing, test, systems)

  • Engage top candidates with tailored outreach, personalized follow-up, and deep relationship-building

  • Partner with hiring leads to define role requirements, align on candidate quality, and drive fast hiring decisions

  • Represent Reflect Orbital at industry events, conferences, and in talent-facing forums

Ideal Qualifications

  • 2–5 years of experience recruiting in the aerospace industry (either in-house or agency)

  • Demonstrated success sourcing and closing world-class technical talent - especially engineers and hardware specialists

  • Highly motivated, resourceful, and driven by results

  • Exceptional communicator with a bias for action and follow-through

  • Ability to manage a high volume of searches with urgency and precision

  • Experience with Ashby or other modern applicant tracking systems

  • Familiarity with ITAR/export-controlled hiring environments

  • Background in hardware startups or high-growth tech companies

Even if you don’t meet 100% of the above qualifications, we are likely still interested in hearing from you. Hiring exceptional individuals is our #1 priority, and we believe that exceptional people often have highly unusual backgrounds.

We are also interested in carving out unique roles for unconventional people that we are excited about working with.

Reflect Orbital’s success will hinge on our team, which is why our compensation and benefits plan is designed to reward our employees and support their families as generously as we’re able.

  • Broad choice of medical/dental/vision coverage, Reflect covers 100% of each base-policy

  • Unlimited paid time off

  • Healthy lunches provided daily
