About the role
- Realizing this vision demands highly reliable, high performance mechanical systems including large deployable solar, large radiators, and in space fluid distribution.
Responsibilities
- Own hardware from conceptual design through high volume production and on-orbit operation for the Starmind constellation
- Rapidly iterate on designs and analysis to inform high level systems trades and steer overall product direction
- Design for extreme high volume - drive holistic DFM to create elegant designs with a focus on piece part and process count reductions, error proofing at every step of fabrication and integration, and consistent performance and production metrics
- Establish an efficient product lifecycle starting in the supply chain all the way through final integration that balances cost, complexity, and quality; work closely with partner teams to design and realize an efficient in-house production line
- Perform environmental and performance testing on hardware to validate analysis and demonstrate compliance to design criteria
- Own product delivery timeline through conception, design, assembly, and launch
- Develop design criteria, collaborate on requirements, and drive system-level optimization
Requirements
- Bachelor's degree in an engineering discipline
- Experience with CAD and FEA software packages
- Ability to work extended hours or weekends as needed for mission critical deadlines
- Some travel may occasionally be required
- 2+ years of hands-on project experience with complex mechanical systems, preferably as a team lead
Skills
- Master's degree in engineering or a related technical discipline
- Proficient in 3D CAD (NX preferred)
- Solid understanding and application of GD&T
- Demonstrated understanding of structural analysis and failure modes of complex mechanical systems
- Self-motivated with strong organizational, written, and oral communication skills
