About this role

Senior Compute Validation Engineer San Carlos, California, San Carlos, California, United States Cowboy Space Corp. 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 powering on-orbit compute, to transmitting energy via infrared lasers (space-to-earth and space-to-space), 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), Cowboy Space Corp. 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. The Role This role is highly hands-on. You will own validation strategy and work across electrical, firmware, thermal, mechanical, and system software teams to uncover and resolve failure modes during launch and after orbital deployment. Responsibilities - Lead board bring-up and system validation for advanced edge compute platforms. - Develop validation methodologies covering signal integrity, power integrity, power sequencing, thermal behavior, and system reliability. - Debug complex hardware and firmware interactions across High-speed interconnects (PCIe, Nvidia NVLink, AMD XGMI), memory subsystems, BMC/SMC and HMC architectures. - Perform detailed board analysis using oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, protocol analyzers, and power instrumentation. - Drive root-cause analysis for system failures discovered during validation and environmental testing. - Design and validate interfaces
