Description

As a mechanical engineer on the Starlink electric propulsion team, you will own the end-to-end design, analysis, test, build, and on-orbit life cycle of propulsion hardware. You'll work cross-functionally to develop thrusters, cathodes, regulators, and fluid feed systems, solving complex mechanical, thermal, magnetic, and fluid problems.

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in an engineering discipline
• Experience with CAD and FEA software packages
• 1+ years of industry experience (internships/co-ops apply)

Responsibilities

• Solve complex mechanical, thermal, magnetic, and fluid system problems on space-grade hardware
• Own hardware from conceptual design through high volume production and on-orbit operation
• Work closely with thermal, materials, electrical, mechanical, software, and GNC groups
• Develop design criteria, collaborate on requirements, and drive system-level optimization
• Perform vacuum chamber tests, performance characterization, and environmental tests
