Job description

Senior Technical Recruiter

Ready to make connectivity from space universally accessible, secure and actionable? Then you’ve come to the right place! E‑Space is bridging Earth and space to enable hyper‑scaled deployments of Internet of Things (IoT) solutions and services. We are building a highly‑advanced low Earth orbit (LEO) space system that will fundamentally change the design, economics, manufacturing and service delivery associated with traditional satellite and terrestrial IoT systems.

We’re intentional, unapologetically curious and 100% committed to innovating space‑based communications and delivering actionable intelligence that will expand global economies, protect space and our planet and enhance our overall quality of life.

The Senior Technical Recruiter will be responsible for identifying and attracting key technical talent to expand the capabilities of our growing company. The ideal candidate has the skills and interest to recruit amazing talent, desires to grow with the pace of this company and is a key partner in building the recruiting function. You will be passionate about recruitment, go the extra mile to close positions, communicate confidently with stakeholders and candidates, prioritize candidate experience and ensure smooth onboarding.

This position reports to the Head of Global Recruiting and works closely with satellite engineering teams as a talent advisor. The role can be based in our Arlington, TX office or Saratoga, CA office.

We are doing exciting work with satellites, so candidates with an understanding of the technology (e.g., the difference between a GEO and LEO satellite) and who can identify talent with strong individual and leadership contributions in component development, design and in‑orbit activities will fit very well with our needs.

Responsibilities

• Own the full‑cycle recruiting process across technical, manufacturing, operations, and/or engineering roles, from job intake and posting to negotiating and extending the offer.
• Develop sourcing models and plans to generate talent pools, networks and pipelines; build and execute robust search strategies, calibrate candidates and assessment strategies with hiring managers.
• Build and maintain market intelligence and a network of talent and potential candidates through previous experience, proactive research, and ongoing relationship; conduct in‑depth interviews of potential candidates, demonstrating the ability to anticipate manager requirements through high interview‑to‑offer ratios.
• Partner with hiring managers to understand hiring needs and execute effective talent sourcing, engagement, assessment and closing approaches, delivering a diverse range of candidates and providing outstanding stakeholder experience.
• Advise, manage expectations and challenge hiring managers’ communities most professionally to achieve our common goals and dive deep into the technical requirements of job requisitions.
• Generate and recommend ideas and strategies related to recruitment that will contribute to the enhancement of hiring processes, implementing changes and new procedures, and promoting the fine‑tuning of standard methods for talent acquisition.
• Work with metrics and reporting to establish recruitment updates and insight, ensuring hiring is working effectively and can demonstrate successes versus areas of focus; prepare search status reports and lead update meetings on active searches.

Qualifications

• Proven work experience as a Technical Recruiter in the satellite, space, aerospace & defense or semiconductor industries.
• Technical expertise with an ability to understand and explain job requirements for technical roles.
• Familiarity with AI‑based sourcing tools, Applicant Tracking Systems and resume databases.
• Solid knowledge of sourcing techniques and best‑practice candidate attraction techniques (e.g. social media sourcing and/or Boolean search).
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills, along with a solid understanding of HR, compliance practices and labor legislation.
• Previous experience in a start‑up or rapidly scaling organization.
• Multi‑jurisdictional experience in the Texas and California recruitment markets and navigating labor laws in multiple jurisdictions.

E‑Space is not currently able to provide employment sponsorship for candidates who do not hold work authorization for the location of this role if you do not already hold it.

• Sustainability at our core
• Fair and honest workplace
