Sr. Mechanical Configuration Design Engineer
About The Position
Lanteris Space is seeking a Senior Mechanical Design Engineer to join its Configuration organization. The position is based at the company’s Mountain View, California offices and may also be performed remotely within the U.S. The Mechanical Configuration organization is responsible for spacecraft-level layout design, accommodating subsystems compatibly throughout all phases of a spacecraft mission. The team translates Systems Engineering specifications and block diagrams into 3D designs used to build spacecraft, optimizing layouts for system performance, assembly and test accessibility, payload performance, and mass properties. It documents interfaces between major subsystems to ensure proper fit and alignment during spacecraft integration. Engineering support begins during proposal work and continues through launch preparations. Designs range in complexity from component support brackets to spacecraft top-assembly documentation. The engineer will create models and drawings, report progress on assigned projects, support integration of hardware into spacecraft systems architecture, and help resolve nonconformances and improve processes. The role requires a bachelor’s degree in mechanical, aerospace, or another engineering discipline, or four additional years of experience in place of a degree, and five years of relevant experience. A master’s degree may count for two years of experience.
Requirements
- Must be a U.S. citizen or permanent resident.
- Bachelor’s degree in mechanical, aerospace, or another engineering discipline, or four additional years of experience in place of a degree.
- Five years of experience, including piece-part and subassembly modeling in Creo or other CAD software and assembly drawing generation. A master’s degree may account for two years of experience.
Nice To Haves
- Strong verbal and written communication, organization, and leadership skills.

- Understanding of how propulsion and RF components work.
- Experience facilitating design reviews, presenting technical ideas, and communicating design status.
- Ability to manage schedules for design projects.
- Enjoyment of working with cross-functional teams.
Responsibilities
- Act as the Mechanical Design Engineer for the Mechanical Configuration department.
- Generate engineering drawings and models using Creo and other design tools.
- Design, document, and report engineering progress on assigned projects.
