Key skills for this role
Sceye is a high-growth technology company, building the next generation of instant communications, imaging and remote sensing infrastructure through stratospheric platforms. Our lighter-than-air high-altitude platform systems (LTA HAPS) are capable of maintaining position over an operational area in the stratosphere (altitudes of 18 – 21km). They can carry multiple telecommunications, imaging and remote sensing payloads, providing unique functionality, cost, environmental and societal advantages.
Our HAPS be deployed in a matter of days and at a fraction of the cost of traditional infrastructure solutions. This makes them an ideal solution for providing telecommunications connectivity, emergency solutions in the event of natural or other disasters, environmental and infrastructure monitoring, Earth observation and a range of defense applications.
Our customers & partners include some of the largest global telecommunications companies, infrastructure operators, climate researchers, civil and defense agencies. At Sceye, we aim high, and we want you to join us at the stratospheric edge of innovation. As part of our mission-driven team, you’ll contribute to building breakthrough technologies that are changing the way we connect and observe the world. We are looking for individuals who bring not only deep expertise but also bold vision and an unwavering commitment to excellence.
Sceye is seeking a Mechanical Engineer to support the design, development, prototyping, and assembly of mechanical systems for our high-altitude platform technologies. This is a hands-on engineering role for someone who enjoys designing parts in CAD, working directly with hardware, and seeing designs move from concept to physical assembly.
The ideal candidate has strong mechanical aptitude and can confidently identify and work with common mechanical components, including brackets, fasteners, fittings, bearings, spacers, and structural hardware. This person will be comfortable creating designs in SolidWorks, assembling components from engineering drawings and bills of materials, and collaborating with manufacturing and test teams to improve designs.
