Mechanical Engineer

The Mission

You will be building next-generation spacecraft infrastructure that turns orbit into a repeatable, reliable environment, not a one-way mission. The focus is reusability, rapid turnaround, and hardware that can fly, return, refurbish, and fly again.

The Role

This is a hands-on structures role owning spacecraft primary and secondary structures end to end. Design, analyse, build, test, iterate. No silos, no hand-offs.
You’ll take a novel spacecraft structure from concept through flight and reflight, working closely with technical leadership in a fast-moving environment.

What You’ll Do
Design and analyse lightweight metallic and composite structures
Own vehicle layout, interfaces, and structural trade studies
Deliver FEM for launch provider and vehicle-level analysis
Support integration, test, GSE design, and qualification
Define test requirements for qualification and acceptance
Work directly with vendors, partners, and stakeholders

Skillset
8+ years in spacecraft, launch, or re-entry structures
Proven ownership of flight hardware from concept to delivery
Strong FEA capability (static, dynamic, transient)
Hands-on build, integration, and test experience
Excellent fundamentals in structures, materials, and manufacturing
Confident with GD&T and 3D CAD (NX preferred)

Bonus Experience
Reusable or hot structures
Fatigue and composites
Startup or early-stage environments

Why This Role
First-of-its-kind reusable spacecraft hardware
Real ownership and technical autonomy
High impact work with visible outcomes
Small, elite team tackling hard problems fast
