This is a hands‑on role for a mechanical engineer who enjoys detailed CAD work, buildable designs, and close collaboration across propulsion, avionics, and systems.

You will translate system architecture into flight‑ready hardware by leading the design of tanks, structures, mechanisms, and spacecraft interfaces. Responsibilities include CAD modelling, packaging, mass‑properties tracking, mechanical ICDs, structural and thermal analysis, supplier engagement, and support through major design reviews.

Skills Needed:

Expert SolidWorks capability, including assemblies, drawings, and configurations

Strong GD&T knowledge and tolerance stack‑up understanding

Experience designing spacecraft or flight hardware

Background with lightweight structures and propulsion interfaces

Understanding of launch environments including vibration, loads, and thermal conditions

Familiarity with structural and thermal analysis tools

Ability to collaborate effectively across disciplines

Excellent documentation habits and attention to detail

Experience with composite structures, small satellites, or OTV systems is an advantage.
