Technical Recruiter at Astro Mechanica, Remote (United States)

You are a technical recruiter and trusted talent partner with strong judgment, credibility, and a proven track record of building exceptional teams in fast-growing startup environments. You are confident in your ability to navigate the known and the unknown in partnership with peers and hiring managers. You work through any technical ignorance with curiosity, learning all that you need to in order to find the best possible fit. You have a genuine passion for aerospace and aviation that shows up in how you build out hardware teams.

• Design and execute sourcing strategies for hard-to-find talent, leveraging deep networks, targeted outbound, referrals, and creative approaches beyond traditional channels
• Build interview processes that effectively evaluate hands-on skill sets, technical decision-making, and ownership in build-and-test environments
• Act as a steward of candidate experience, particularly for senior and high-signal candidates
• Continuously refine recruiting processes, tools, and hiring practices to support rapid, high-quality scaling

WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR:

• 4-6+ years of recruiting experience, including significant time in fast-growing startups or early-stage companies
• Demonstrated experience recruiting in aerospace & defense or closely related deep-tech / hardware domains, with particular strength in propulsion, testing, manufacturing, or experimental engineering roles
• Proven ability to recruit deeply technical individual contributors and engineering managers
• Strong sourcing and assessment skills for candidates whose value is demonstrated through hands-on work, operational ownership, and complex trade studies—not just credentials
• Exceptional communication skills, discretion, and judgment
• The ambition to work in a fast-paced environment

PERKS & BENEFITS:
