Mechanical Engineer | Spacecraft | California
I’m working with an innovative space company developing a new generation of reusable in-space transportation vehicles , and they’re looking for a Mechanical Engineer to join their growing team.
This is a highly hands-on position where you’ll have significant ownership across the design, analysis, build, integration and testing of spacecraft hardware .
You could work across primary and secondary structures, propellant tanks, docking and capture systems, propulsion components, deployables, actuators and other mechanical systems.
What they’re looking for:
- Strong mechanical engineering fundamentals across mechanics, materials and dynamics
- Experience designing and analysing aerospace or spacecraft structures
- Strong CAD and FEA experience
- Experience with mechanisms, actuators and/or deployable systems
- Hands-on hardware prototyping, testing, integration and troubleshooting
- Experience supporting structural or environmental test campaigns
- Comfortable working across multidisciplinary engineering teams
- Scripting or programming experience would be advantageous
This would suit an engineer who enjoys taking end-to-end ownership of hardware , working at pace and solving challenging mechanical problems rather than operating within a narrowly defined remit.
If you’re interested in building spacecraft hardware and want to learn more, drop me a message.
