Full Job Description
What You'll Do:
  • Own full-cycle recruiting for highly specialized aerospace and engineering roles across GNC, flight software, ground software, FPGA, electric propulsion, optical systems, payload, systems engineering, and business functions
  • Partner directly with hiring managers and founders to scope roles, define success criteria, and build structured interview processes that move quickly without sacrificing quality
  • Build and maintain candidate pipelines for both active and anticipated hiring needs, using a mix of LinkedIn Recruiter, JuiceboxAI, referrals, and direct sourcing
  • Administer and continuously improve our Greenhouse ATS, including interview kits, scorecards, workflows, and reporting

  • Develop and deliver interviewer training, scorecard calibration, and hiring manager enablement to raise the bar on interview quality across the company
  • Maintain Albedo's hiring documentation and process library in Notion, ensuring the recruiting function scales without losing structure
  • Contribute to employer branding and careers-site content, including outbound messaging, candidate-facing collateral, and conference or campus strategy
  • Track and report on funnel metrics such as time-to-fill, pass-through rates, offer acceptance, sourcing channel effectiveness, using the data to drive decisions and improve processes
Your Ideal Skills and Experience:

  • 7+ years of full-cycle technical recruiting experience, with meaningful time recruiting deep technical ICs (hardware, firmware, systems, or flight software preferred)
