Mechanical Engineer

Job Description

Design and develop satellite structures and mechanisms, producing 3D models, assemblies, engineering drawings, and manufacturing documentation. Own mechanical designs from concept through prototype and flight-ready hardware, and support manufacturing, assembly, integration, and testing.

Requirements: Requires space-industry experience, ideally with satellite or spacecraft structures and mechanisms, and strong hands-on mechanical CAD design experience, ideally five or more years. Candidates should be proficient in SolidWorks or comparable CAD software and understand spacecraft design constraints, including mass limits and extreme operating environments; experience taking designs through manufacturing and testing is also expected.

Key Skills: Mechanical Design, Satellite Structures, Spacecraft Mechanisms, SolidWorks, 3D CAD, 3D Modeling, Engineering Drawings, Manufacturing Documentation, Prototype Development, Hardware Integration, Assembly, Testing, Lightweight Design, Space Environment Design, Mass-Constrained Design
