Singularity Defense Corp.
We are a stealth-mode Aerospace & Defense startup headquartered in El Segundo, CA. Our founding team hails from SpaceX, Anduril, and Lockheed Martin, and we are backed by Joint Staff-level military leadership and top-tier Silicon Valley rms. We're assembling a high-agency team committed to moving fast, solving hard problems, and defending what matters most. With a world-class business development & leadership team already in place, we are well positioned to capitalize on already overwhelming demand.
Responsibilities: Build and lead the
Test Engineering team
spanning hardware, software, and systems test disciplines. Develop and own
test strategy and infrastructure
: ground test facilities, flight test plans, instrumentation, telemetry, and data pipelines. Drive
end-to-end test campaigns
: from subcomponent validation through integrated system flight tests. Partner with propulsion, avionics, GNC, and mechanical teams to define test requirements and accelerate development cycles. Establish
rapid iteration and feedback loops
, ensuring failures become data, and data becomes progress. Ensure compliance with
aerospace and defense test standards
while balancing the need for speed, scalability, and cost-effectiveness. Lead
mission readiness
efforts for live intercept demonstrations and operational deployments. Qualifications: Required
+ years of experience in aerospace, defense, or equivalent high-reliability industries. Deep knowledge of
system-level test engineering
, including flight tests, ground tests, environmental testing, and instrumentation. Proven track record of leading multidisciplinary teams through
rapid development and execution cycles
. Strong technical background in at least one of: propulsion testing, avionics validation, systems integration, or range operations. Comfort working in
fast-paced, resource-constrained environments
where speed and iteration matter. Hands-on operator mindset—able to both lead and personally troubleshoot hardware, software, and test infrastructure. Preferred: Experience with
missile systems, interceptors, or high-performance aerospace vehicles
. Familiarity with
aerospace qualification standards
(DO-160, MIL-STD, etc.) and range safety requirements. Strong technical background in all one of: propulsion testing, avionics validation, systems integration, or range operations. Ability to thrive in
high-stakes test campaigns
with operators and government stakeholders.
