Mechanical Engineer

As a Mechanical Engineer, you will be responsible for quickly designing, prototyping, and flight validating spacecraft subcomponents and integrating mechanical systems on tight deadlines. Your highest priority is delivering functional hardware that strikes a balance between simplicity, scrappiness, analytical rigor and ingenuity.

You bring roughly 4–6 years of mechanical design experience, ideally on flight hardware or similar high-reliability mechanical systems.

You have owned spacecraft components from clean-sheet to spaceflight

Extensive CAD experience

You can teach a class on the design of bolted joints

You know what tolerances the machine shop can hit without needing to ask them

You have strong experience collaboratively designing complex interdependent systems

Even if you don’t meet 100% of the above qualifications, we are likely still interested in hearing from you. Hiring exceptional individuals is our #1 priority, and we believe that exceptional people often have highly unusual backgrounds.
