Senior Electromechanical Engineer — Antenna Systems

E-Space•Saratoga, CA

2d•$140,000 - $190,000•Onsite

About The Position

E-Space is bridging Earth and space to enable hyper-scaled deployments of Internet of Things (IoT) solutions and services. We are building a highly-advanced low Earth orbit (LEO) space system that will fundamentally change the design, economics, manufacturing and service delivery associated with traditional satellite and terrestrial IoT systems. We are looking for a Senior Electromechanical Engineer to own electrical, optical and sensing harness/interconnect products for a space-based antenna application. This is a hands-on role for someone who enjoys developing unique solutions to unique problems - from preliminary system design and component selection to qualification, integration & flight. This role is ideal for an engineer who gets excited about impossible parts and has the skills to build whatever it takes to make them work at production volumes. We are redefining how satellites are designed, manufactured and used—so we’re looking for candidates with passion, deep knowledge and direct experience on LEO satellite component development, design and in-orbit activities.

Requirements

Own the design and selection of the spacecraft’s wiring harness — electrical wiring, optical fiber, connectors, and interconnects.
Own antenna specific sensors and their integration, routing, and signal interfaces.
Define harness and connector requirements and drive component selection and supplier evaluation.
Take harness, connectors, and fiber through qualification for the flight environment.
Develop routing, strain-relief, and integration approaches compatible with a spacecraft structure.
Create harness drawings, wire lists, and interface documentation.
Support assembly, integration, and test, and resolve harness-related anomalies throughout the entire product lifecycle.

Nice To Haves

Optical fiber / fiber-optic harness experience.
Sensors and instrumentation integration.
Space or flight environmental qualification (thermal-vacuum, vibration, radiation).
Experience with space structures.
