Mechanical Engineer, Space joins the Space Special Programs team to develop, test, and operate mission-critical spacecraft and space systems. This role involves managing the full design cycle for spacecraft components, including deployment mechanisms, structures, pressure vessels, and ground support equipment. The engineer will perform 3D CAD modeling, material selection, and structural, thermal, and dynamic analysis while overseeing fabrication and assembly in a high-rate manufacturing environment. Key responsibilities include rapid prototyping using 3D printing and machining to iterate on small mechanisms designed for zero-gravity environments. Required skills include proficiency in 3D CAD, PCB layout requirements, and experience with vibration, shock, and thermal vacuum testing. The role addresses the technical challenge of creating high-reliability, highly manufacturable space flight hardware that can survive and operate effectively within complex orbital environments.
