TL;DR · Senior Mechanical Design Engineer

The Sr. Mechanical Design Engineer will join the Amazon Kuiper Manufacturing Enterprises LLC's Inter-Satellite Link team as a hands-on leader responsible for designing and developing mechanical ground support equipment such as assembly, alignment, and testing fixturing and tooling. This role requires extensive experience in analyzing, sizing, and selecting components for both development and production environments, using Siemens NX for detailed 3D CAD assemblies and drawings. The ideal candidate will collaborate with cross-disciplinary teams including electrical, optics, process, thermal, dynamics, mechanisms, materials, manufacturing, assembly, and test engineers to optimize designs for high-volume production while ensuring cost-effectiveness and compliance with technical requirements. Key skills include proficiency in DFM/DFA, Ansys Finite Element analysis, and project management tools like JIRA or Confluence, alongside strong communication and documentation abilities.

What you'll do

  • Lead design and development of mechanical ground support equipment for satellite systems.
  • Generate detailed 3D CAD assemblies/components using Siemens NX for assembly, alignment, and testing fixturing.
  • Coordinate with cross-disciplinary teams to ensure cost-effective production designs are achieved.
  • Develop documentation and presentations for technical design reviews of space hardware.
  • Design and support test campaigns for both development and qualification/acceptance phases of aerospace systems.

What we're looking for

  • 7+ years of experience in CAD design and mechanical engineering.
  • Extensive background in designing and developing hardware at scale, preferably high-end precision mechanisms.
  • Proven expertise in DFM/DFA and manufacturing process development.
  • Experience with production fixturing and tooling design.
  • Knowledge of Ansys Finite Element analysis for structural integrity assessment.
  • 5+ years of experience in aerospace systems development, test, and deployment.
  • Strong leadership skills to guide interdisciplinary discussions and drive system-level trade-offs.
