About The Position

Aetherflux is building the infrastructure to power and connect the orbital economy. Our satellites operate in Low Earth Orbit to collect sunlight and enable a new class of capabilities—from transmitting energy via infrared lasers (space-to-earth and space-to-space), to powering on-orbit compute, to delivering secure, high-bandwidth optical data. By rethinking how energy and data are generated and distributed in space, we’re unlocking entirely new ways to operate both in orbit and on Earth. Founded in 2024 by Baiju Bhatt (co-founder of Robinhood), Aetherflux is backed by leading investors and built by a team from top aerospace and defense organizations. We’re moving quickly to solve complex technical challenges and build a new category of space infrastructure. We are looking for a hands-on Supply Chain Technician to support lab and production operations at Aetherflux. You will play a critical role in managing the flow of mission-critical hardware—from receiving and inventory to deployment in engineering environments. This role is ideal for someone who thrives in fast-paced, high-stakes environments and enjoys building structure and efficiency into physical operations that directly support engineering velocity.
