Mechanical Engineer - Space Optics & Structural Analysis
Observable Space
Observable Space seeks a Mechanical Engineer to drive structural analysis, STOP analyses, and thermal analysis for optomechanical systems from concept through production and deployment. You will own component and subsystem analysis while collaborating with design, optics, electrical, software, manufacturing, and test teams. This is a hands-on role requiring prototype fabrication and field support, with hybrid LA office options. #J-18808-Ljbffr Observable Space
