Senior Mechanical Engineer

Satellite Structure Design and Development EngineerYou are responsible for the design and development of satellite structures, mechanisms and thermal management of satellites for the Meridian Space constellation from concept through orbit. This includes structural design, deployable mechanisms, launch vehicle interfaces, satellite deployment, thermal analysis, manufacturing, assembly and testing. As part of a small team tackling ambitious challenges, you'll take full ownership of the end-to-end success of your hardware in orbit - driving every aspect of development, from design to fully-integrated, space-ready systems.Basic Qualifications:Bachelor's degree in Engineering, or related field3+ years professional aerospace mechanical design/development experienceStrong understanding of structural mechanics, materials, dynamics, and manufacturing methodsSkill in using and creating software tools to model systems performance across a variety of disciplines (MATLAB, Python, Excel, etc.)Experience with CAD (Solidworks, etc.) and creating engineering drawingsAbility to work autonomously and exercise good engineering judgementStrong interpersonal, verbal communication, and written communication skillsPreferred Qualifications:7+ years professional spacecraft design/development experienceMaster's degree or PhD in Engineering, or related fieldExperience designing low-cost satellites intended for high production volumesExperience designing spacecraft for launch vehicle interfaces and analyzing launch loadsExpertise with spacecraft separation systems and other mechanismsExperience with spacecraft assembly, integration, and testExperience with spacecraft thermal analysis and designBreadth of understanding of other spacecraft subsystems and general knowledge of satellite operations
