Turning Space into a Transportation Layer for Earth
Inversion builds advanced reentry systems to deliver next-generation capabilities from space.
Our mission is to make Earth radically more accessible by turning Low-Earth Orbit into an on-demand logistics domain. We see space not as a destination, but as a platform — one that unlocks unprecedented speed and global reach.
Our spacecraft are designed to deliver payloads anywhere on Earth in under an hour, operating through extreme reentry conditions and landing with high precision. These systems open the door to new ways of testing, delivering, and operating at hypersonic speeds.
Inherently dual-use, our technology is built to meet urgent national security needs while laying the groundwork for future commercial applications. Backed by leading investors including Y Combinator, Spark Capital, and Lockheed Martin Ventures, and working with partners such as the U.S. Space Force and NASA, Inversion is pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in space-based defense and logistics.
As a Senior Regulatory Engineer at Inversion Space, you will serve as the primary interface between our reentry spacecraft program and the complex regulatory landscape governing commercial spaceflight operations. You will lead our regulatory compliance strategy, ensuring our spacecraft and operations meet all FAA Part 450 requirements, DOD approvals, and international regulations. Working at the intersection of aerospace technology and government oversight, you will build and maintain critical relationships with the FAA, DoD, international partners, and other regulatory bodies while guiding our cross-functional teams through the licensing and approval processes. This role is essential to enabling Inversion Space's mission of revolutionizing space logistics and return capabilities.
