ActiveCore Labs is looking for a Business Development Partner / Co-Founder to join us in scaling a startup focused on the next generation of aerospace and defense platforms.

Who you are:

  • A Space Industry Veteran: You have 15+ years of experience and a deep network across the A&S ecosystem (Primes, NASA, DoD, or commercial NewSpace).

  • A Technical Translator: You don’t need to be a programmer, but you speak the language. You understand GNC, mechanical, and electrical constraints well enough to shape product requirements and lead a technical department toward a customer’s vision.

  • A Growth Engine: You have a track record of driving BD, navigating government/commercial contracts, and turning high-level mission needs into actionable business opportunities.

What we are building: We focus on deterministic, "space-grade" software architectures—reducing risk in UAS, spacecraft components, and GNC systems. We aren't just building code; we’re building the reliable "nervous system" for the hardware of tomorrow.

Why join?

  • Equity-based partnership.

  • The chance to move from a "cog in the machine" to a builder of the machine.

  • A partner who handles the deep technical execution (C/C++, RTOS, Flight Software) so you can focus on the mission architecture and market capture.

If you’ve spent your career at the Primes or Tier 1s and are looking for a way to apply that experience to a lean, fast-moving venture, let’s talk.
