A recruiting and contractor placement service that helps aerospace and deep-tech startups hire rare test, hardware, and flight engineers.
Specialized recruiting for aerospace and deep-tech startups
With Voltair (YC W26) hiring a test flight engineer and TechCrunch documenting fusion startups raising over $100M, small aerospace and fusion firms are actively hiring rare test, hardware, and flight engineers. That immediate demand creates a bottleneck generalist recruiters can’t solve, making boutique recruiting, onboarding, and contractor marketplaces timely.
