Jobbeschreibung

We’re hiring a Senior Mechanical Design Engineer to lead the full lifecycle of mechanical design — from blank-sheet concepts through to flight-ready hardware. This is a hands-on, high-ownership role based primarily out of our newly built facility.

Responsibilities:

• Own end-to-end design of structural and mechanical components (CAD, analysis, drawings, DFM, testing)

• Collaborate closely with manufacturing, systems, and avionics teams to deliver flight-ready solutions

• Lead design reviews and iterate rapidly based on test data and field results

• Support prototype builds and hardware integration on-site

• Influence design standards, tools, and best practices as we scale

Requirements:

• 10+ years of mechanical design experience in aerospace or high-reliability environments

• Deep expertise in full product lifecycle — concept, design, build, test, iterate

• Proficiency in CAD (e.g. SolidWorks, NX, or equivalent)

• Strong understanding of materials, machining, structural analysis, and thermal considerations

• Experience designing for launch environments, vacuum, or thermal extremes is a plus

• Ability to be on-site most of the time — this role is in the heart of our build and test activity

Benefits:

• Be part of a founding team shaping breakthrough space hardware

• Work on-site, hands-on, where decisions happen fast and builds happen daily

• Competitive compensation, full benefits, and equity participation

• Live and work on the legendary Space Coast — launchpads on your doorstep, ocean in your backyard
