El Segundo, California, US (On-site)1 open job
General Galactic designs, builds, and flies advanced spacecraft and propulsion systems, including propellant production from water, for Earth and solar system transportation.
General Galactic builds hardware for a problem the space industry keeps circling: getting mass to high-energy orbits without the cost structure that makes such missions rare. The El Segundo, California company designs, builds, and flies advanced spacecraft for rapid transportation around Earth and across the solar system, working the verticals that matter for security-cleared and commercial talent alike - commercial space, government space, space transportation, space logistics, and aerospace manufacturing.
The technology stack is propulsion-forward. Genesis is the company's propulsion technology for its spacecraft platforms; Seldon and Dreadnought are the spacecraft platforms themselves. Alongside those, General Galactic develops water-based propellant-generation systems - producing propellant from water as part of a logistics network concept it calls Railroad to Mars. Named technical domains include spacecraft design and manufacturing, electric propulsion, nuclear systems, in-situ propellant production from water, and space logistics.
The roadmap has concrete waypoints. Trinity is a spaceflight demonstration mission. Stated targets include sustained maneuvering and remote proximity operations in geostationary orbit and cargo delivery to the lunar surface and other high-energy orbits; Mars and broader solar-system transport sit further out as long-term goals.
Operationally, the company runs a single integrated facility housing team, factory, and testing operations, and has recruited engineers from SpaceX, Varda, Impulse, Relativity Space, and other established aerospace organizations. Founding year, team size, and funding are not disclosed.
