Senior Mechanical Engineer — Antenna Systems
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’re intentional, we’re unapologetically curious and we’re 100% committed to innovate space-based communications and deliver actionable intelligence that will expand global economies, protect space and our planet and enhance our overall quality of life. We are looking for a Senior Mechanical Engineer to own the design development and delivery of a payload antenna structure. This is a hands-on role for someone who enjoys developing unique solutions to unique problems. On-site in California or Texas. Some travel between sites may be required.
Requirements
- BS or MS in Mechanical Engineering or a related field.
- 6 to 8 years of hands-on experience bringing your CAD from the desktop to your desk-top.
- Experience with deployable space structures.
Nice To Haves
- Solar panel structure design, integration & test.
- Space or flight environmental qualification (thermal-vacuum, vibration, radiation).
- Experience with automated manufacturing systems (robotics, pick and place, roll to roll etc.).
- Demonstrable experience developing deployable space structures from the ground up.
Responsibilities
- Own the mechanical design of a deployable payload antenna structure — from preliminary layout through detailed design, analysis, and release to manufacturing.
- Lead structure and mechanisms design, including deployment kinematics, hold down and release mechanism make/buy decisions and rapid prototyping.
- Perform structural and dynamic analysis to meet mass, stiffness, and packaging requirements.
- Take the structure and mechanisms through qualification for the flight environment (thermal-vacuum, vibration, and shock).
- Create detailed drawings, GD&T, and interface control documentation for cross-functional team consumption.
- Support manufacturing, integration, and test, resolving mechanical anomalies throughout the entire product lifecycle.
- Be a CAD modeling expert (SolidWorks) managing CAD assemblies and drawings.
