About the role

Icarus Industries is building solar-powered aircraft that reach 60,000 ft for weeks, delivering persistent, scalable presence from the stratosphere. This role focuses on core flight systems and end-to-end ownership from concept through flight milestones. We hire across mechanical, aerodynamics, RF, GNC, electrical, avionics, power electronics, energy storage, software, and systems. Expect a high-trust, fast-paced environment with real hardware and real flight.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
