Software Engineer II (Front-end)

Turning Space into a Transportation Layer for Earth

Who We Are :

Eras of humanity can often be defined by a dominant transportation mode - horse drawn chariots, ocean-going boats, or aircraft. These were spurred by a small group of people rigorously focused on building technology to achieve faster access to more of the world. We seek to usher in a new era of humanity defined by universal access to the whole globe, free of borders, and the presence of a routine way from space to Earth. To do this, we are building highly maneuverable re-entry vehicles that can loiter in orbit before precision landing back on Earth.

About the Role

As a Front-end Engineer at Inversion, you will work as part of the simulation team to design, develop, and maintain the user interface / user experience (UI / UX) of applications supporting the simulation and test environments for our flight systems. The simulation team ensures that flight software and hardware can be integrated and tested under realistic conditions. You will help design and develop data visualization, analysis, and self-service tools to enable fast, repeatable development and deployment workflows, empowering our engineering teams to iterate rapidly and deliver products swiftly to our customers.

What You'll Do

• Design, deploy, and maintain client-side logic and interfaces for simulation workflows, including high-performance computing (HPC), software-in-the-loop (SIL), and hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) testing.
• Select a front-end tech stack that ensures performance and maintainability.
• Design and implement a front-end architecture balancing simplicity and flexibility.
• Develop user interfaces supporting simulation configuration, management, and monitoring.
• Collaborate with back-end engineers to integrate front-end and back-end systems for a seamless user experience.
• Contribute to designing and developing a simulation system capable of automatically provisioning and deploying resources for workflows.
