From Matter Intelligence's posting. “We” and “our” refer to the employer.
Welcome to Matter, where we are building the future of vision AI: pairing a world-first sensor that sees molecular chemistry, temperature, and 3D shape with a Large World Model that will be the most powerful intelligence engine for the physical world. This system doesn't just see what something looks like; it understands everything from a single pixel. We call this
Superintelligent Vision.
Our team has delivered technologies to Mars for NASA/JPL, designed advanced sensors for U.S. Defense, and frontier artificial intelligence systems. We are now building the next generation of space- and airborne-based sensing systems.
We are seeking an Optomechanical Engineer to contribute to the design, analysis, integration, and qualification of high-performance optical payloads for space and airborne platforms. This role owns the optomechanical architecture and manufacturing readiness of Matter’s imaging systems from early concept through flight hardware.
You will champion optomechanical design across multiple programs, ensuring optical performance is preserved through structural, thermal, and dynamic environments (STOP). You will work closely with optical engineering, systems engineering, thermal, structures, and manufacturing partners, and will be hands-on with flight and test hardware.
Optomechanical designs that meet performance requirements through launch and on-orbit environments.
Stable, repeatable optical alignment with well-understood tolerances and margins.
Hardware that integrates cleanly, tests efficiently, and qualifies without major rework.
Clear documentation and interfaces that enable fast iteration and scaling.
A team executing with rigor, ownership, and technical confidence.
Compensation
Competitive total package based on experience.
Early-stage equity package so you share directly in Matter’s growth and success.
100% employer-paid health, dental, and vision coverage.
Opportunities to expand into leadership, strategic accounts, or cross-functional roles as we scale.
Who You Are
You are a mission-driven technical leader who thrives at the intersection of engineering complexity, high-stakes decisions, and building real hardware that flies. You think holistically, communicate clearly, and elevate the entire engineering team around you.
