Engineering and safety services for aerospace, defense, and space programs
Bastion Technologies is an engineering and technical services firm supporting NASA, DoD, and aerospace contractors on crewed spaceflight and vehicle integration programs. The tech stack—NASTRAN, ANSYS, MATLAB, Windchill, DOORS, and SysML tools—reflects deep investment in mechanical and systems engineering workflows. The engineering-heavy hiring focus (48 of 51 active roles) and mid-to-senior seniority mix align with active involvement in high-stakes programs: SLS vehicle integration, Orion heatshield certification, and pressurized lunar rover development.
Bastion Technologies provides engineering design, analysis, and safety-assurance services to aerospace, defense, and oil-and-gas clients. The company operates from Houston, Texas with a 501–1,000-person workforce. Core service lines span mechanical, structural, electrical, thermal, and optical engineering (using parametric modeling, fluid dynamics, and coupled-loads analysis), systems engineering and requirements management, information management and software integration, and comprehensive safety and mission-assurance programs. Customers include NASA, DoD entities, and large aerospace subcontractors nationwide. The firm has operated since 1998.
Primary tools include NASTRAN and ANSYS for structural analysis, MATLAB for technical computing, PTC Creo and Windchill for CAD and lifecycle management, IBM DOORS and DOORS Next for requirements, Enterprise Architect and MagicDraw for systems modeling, LabVIEW for instrumentation, and Jira/Confluence for collaboration.
Active programs include SLS vehicle integration, Orion heatshield certification and build, pressurized lunar rover development, landing and recovery systems, crew service module integration, arc jet and radiant heatshield test campaigns, hazard analysis, and system safety documentation for human spaceflight certification.
