Mechanical Engineer

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.
