About the role

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.

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.
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.
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.

6 to 8 years of hands-on experience bringing your CAD from the desktop to your desk-top.
Experience with deployable space structures.
Some travel between sites may be required.

Space or flight environmental qualification (thermal-vacuum, vibration, radiation).
Experience with automated manufacturing systems (robotics, pick and place, roll to roll etc.).
If that's your experience - then we'll be immediately wow-ed.
Why E-Space is right for you: As a member of our team, you will play a crucial role in driving our success.
