Why Castelion, Why Now
Castelion is moving incredibly fast to develop and deliver advanced defense systems at a time when execution matters more than ever. We believe focus, ownership, and excellence are decisive advantages - and we're building a world-class team to turn bold ideas into real capability.
This is a rare opportunity to join at an early stage, where you'll have significant ownership, collaborate with exceptional teammates, and make a direct, measurable impact on our mission and the future of the company - regardless of your function.
As a PCB Layout Engineer, you will independently own the layout and release of complex avionics printed circuit boards for hypersonic missile systems. You will partner closely with electrical, mechanical, systems, and manufacturing engineers to deliver flight-worthy hardware on aggressive schedules.
This role requires strong technical judgment, the ability to drive layout decisions across analog, digital, RF, and power domains, and comfort leading fabrication and assembly partners through DFM and production readiness. You will be expected to execute with minimal oversight while contributing to continuous improvement of Castelion's PCB design standards and processes.

Castelion designs, tests, and manufactures hypersonic strike weapons for the U.S. military, aiming to deter future wars with fast, credible, non-nuclear deterrence. Its flagship Blackbeard is a low-cost, mass-producible hypersonic missile compatible with HIMARS/MLRS, built in-house with solid rocket motors, propellant, and a real-time, hardware-isolated flight computer. The company uses vertical integration and a rapid test-and-iterate cycle, with frequent flight tests and Project Ranger, a 1,000-acre facility in New Mexico to scale production. It competes with traditional defense primes on speed and cost, selling under government contracts and development awards to field advanced weapons at scale.
