Senior Avionics Mechanical Engineer

The role

You will own the mechanical design of space radio enclosures, thermal paths, and structures. You will manage the process from concept through fabrication and qualification while establishing mechanical engineering practices.

What you will do

• Own mechanical design of space radio enclosures and chassis end to end
• Design the thermal path and run hot- and cold-case analysis for vacuum operation
• Perform structural analysis including static, modal, and random vibration FEA
• Plan and run environmental qualification campaigns
• Select materials and processes appropriate to the space environment
• Produce manufacturing-ready drawing packages with GD&T to ASME Y14.5
• Partner with RF and PCB engineers on SWaP trades and mounting
• Own mechanical interface control documents with customers and integrators
• Lead mechanical content at design reviews
• Establish the mechanical engineering practice and mentor engineers

Required qualifications

• 6+ years of mechanical design experience, including hardware that has flown or been qualified for flight
• Expert-level CAD (SolidWorks preferred; NX or Creo equivalent)
• Detailed drawings with GD&T to ASME Y14.5
• Demonstrated ownership of thermal design for vacuum environments
• Structural analysis and FEA experience covering random vibration and shock
• Direct, hands-on ownership of at least one environmental qualification campaign
• Strong DFM instincts for precision machining and sheet metal

Nice to have

• Mechanical design specifically for RF payloads or space radios
• Proficiency with thermal tools such as Thermal Desktop, Ansys Icepak, or FloTHERM
• Familiarity with radiation environments and shielding mass trades
• Experience with smallsat form factors, ESPA-class payloads, or common bus mechanical interfaces
• Hands-on integration and test experience
• Prior technical leadership or mentorship of other mechanical engineers

Benefits

• Equity grant
• Medical
• Dental
• Vision
• HSA's
• 401K program
