About Cowboy Space Corp:

Cowboy Space Corp. is building the infrastructure to power and connect the orbital economy. Our satellites operate in Low Earth Orbit to collect sunlight and enable a new class of capabilities—from powering on‑orbit compute, to transmitting energy via infrared lasers (space‑to‑earth and space‑to‑space), powering on‑orbit compute to delivering secure, high‑bandwidth optical data. By rethinking how energy and data are generated and distributed in space, we’re unlocking entirely new ways to operate both in orbit and on Earth.

• Familiarity with handling sensitive hardware, including ESD or cleanroom protocols

• Ability to operate in a hands‑on environment, including lifting up to 50 lbs and using material handling equipment

• Experience with ERP or MRP systems for inventory tracking and purchase order management

• Strong attention to detail and a proactive, ownership‑driven mindset

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience supporting hardware or engineering teams in fast‑paced environments

• Familiarity with supply chain processes in high‑reliability industries

• Prior experience in aerospace, space, or other advanced hardware sectors

• Comfort working cross‑functionally with engineering and operations teams
