# Talent Acquisition Manager

**Beyond Reach Labs** · New York City

Salary: $85,000–$110,000 per year

Apply: https://jobs.ashbyhq.com/beyondreachlabs/b4e65b79-b432-4c06-80d5-a93a0c5c85c9

## About Beyond Reach Labs

At Beyond Reach Labs we are building solar panels for Space that grow from the size of a dining table to a football field in orbit.

Mitch and Pele met 13 years ago as freshmen at UPenn studying mechanical engineering. Mitch recently got his PhD at Carnegie Mellon working with NASA on kilometer-scale deployable structures, and Pele spent seven years at SpaceX leading Dragon parachute engineering, safely returning astronauts from space.

The collective satellites today use around 20MW, roughly the output of a datacenter on earth, but by 2030 there is a demand for over 10GW, a 500x increase, largely driven by orbital datacenters, space stations, and lunar outposts.

If you want more power, your only option is to launch larger solar panels, which quickly become fragile or impractically expensive. As a result, power constraints already determine whether missions or industries can exist at all.

But at Beyond Reach Labs we have introduced a new class of deployable solar panels giving satellites 10x more usable power without increasing launch mass or volume. This works because our patented deployable design changes geometry in space, allowing for us to reach 10x longer while remaining rigid.

## About the role

##### About Beyond Reach Labs

At Beyond Reach Labs, we are designing and building the largest deployable structures ever flown to space. We're a small, engineering-heavy team today and about to grow deliberately across engineering, manufacturing, and the business functions that support them.

Building revolutionary technology requires more than great engineers. It requires a company that operates smoothly, moves quickly, and stays focused on what matters most.

##### The role

We're hiring our first dedicated Talent Acquisition Manager. You'll own recruiting end to end: partnering directly with founders and hiring managers, building sourcing pipelines beyond our existing network, running a fast and structured interview process, and standing up the basic infrastructure (applicant tracking, offer process, onboarding handoff) a growing hardware company needs.

This is a build-it-yourself role. You'll be the first and only person in this seat for a while, which means you're designing the process, not inheriting one.

##### What you'll do

- Own full-cycle recruiting for engineering and manufacturing roles (mechanical, electrical, avionics, production/manufacturing) as well as the business functions we're now adding (finance, operations, sales support)

- Partner directly with founders and hiring managers to scope roles, leveling, and compensation before a search opens

- Build sourcing pipelines that go beyond our current referral network, including channels specific to mechanical engineering and hardware talent

- Design and run a structured, fast-moving interview process suited to a small, technical team — technical screens, hands-on/onsite evaluation, reference checks

- Manage employee referral program

- Stand up lightweight applicant tracking and a clean candidate/offer/onboarding process

- Help build our early reputation as a place strong hardware and space engineers want to work

##### What we're looking for

- 2+ years of recruiting experience, including time in-house at an early-stage or high-growth startup — not exclusively agency or large-company recruiting

- Real experience recruiting mechanical engineers specifically: you know how to evaluate an ME background, and where to find people who've worked on physical hardware (aerospace, robotics, automotive, or similar)

- Comfortable being the owner of a function

- A genuine interest in preserving what's worked about our hiring so far (trust, referrals, a high bar) while building the infrastructure to scale past it

##### Nice to have

- Recruiting experience specific to space, aerospace, or satellite hardware companies

- Experience as a founding or first TA hire elsewhere

- Familiarity with manufacturing/production hiring (technicians, quality, supply chain) in addition to engineering roles

- Experience setting up an ATS and interview process at a company under ~50 people
