🛠 Tech Stack

💼 About This Role

You'll own the design, development, and delivery of flight-critical spacecraft mechanisms from concept through on-orbit operation. You'll drive architecture, analysis, and cross-functional integration for actuators, deployables, and precision moving assemblies. This role offers the chance to lead complex hardware programs at a fast-growing startup backed by $200M in Series D funding.

🎯 What You'll Do

• Own end-to-end design of spacecraft mechanisms from concept through flight
• Drive trade studies and make vs. buy decisions with cross-functional teams
• Perform first-principles analysis and FEA to size components
• Develop and execute test plans, analyze results, and iterate designs
• Own hardware through build, integration, and test in hands-on environments

📋 Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in Mechanical or Aerospace Engineering
• 4+ years experience designing and delivering mechanical systems or mechanisms
• 1+ years leading technical teams or projects
• Proficiency with CAD (NX, CATIA, SolidWorks) and FEA tools (ANSYS, Nastran)

✨ Nice to Have

• Experience with spacecraft or aerospace mechanisms
• Familiarity with environmental testing (vibe, thermal, vacuum)
• Hands-on machining, assembly, or hardware bring-up experience
