Inversion Tech Stack

Suborbital logistics network for ultra-fast global delivery via reusable spacecraft

Defense and Space Manufacturing Playa Vista, California 51–200 employees Founded 2021 Privately Held

Inversion designs and manufactures reusable suborbital vehicles for rapid point-to-point cargo delivery. The engineering stack reflects deep aerospace systems work: Rust, C/C++, MATLAB, and specialized CAD suites (NX, CATIA, SolidWorks, Altium) paired with InfluxDB, Kafka, and NATS for telemetry and ground systems. Current hiring skews heavily toward senior engineers and manufacturing expertise—77% of open roles are engineering or manufacturing—signaling a transition from design and prototype into production scale, where they're actively tackling thermal protection, avionics, recovery systems, and repeatability workflows.

About Inversion

Inversion, founded in 2021 and based in Playa Vista, California, develops reusable spacecraft for suborbital cargo delivery. The company operates across three main technical areas: vehicle design (thermal systems, avionics, landing recovery), ground and flight test infrastructure (drop campaigns, hardware-in-the-loop simulation, parachute mechanisms), and manufacturing processes (tooling, assembly integration, cost-effective production). The hiring profile—dominated by senior engineers, with active leadership recruitment in engineering and business development—reflects a company scaling from R&D into operational manufacturing and commercial contracts.
