We are seeking a skilled Mechanical Engineer to join our team, focusing on the design and development of Space-Based advanced complex electro-mechanical and structural and electronics packing. The ideal candidate will have a strong background in mechanical design, development, analysis, and manufacturing tasks on complex mechanical hardware including precision space structures and mechanisms in a program team environment.

Develop Space-Based cutting-edge infrared sensors.

Design high-precision and complex space opto-mechanical systems.

Develop and perform testing to show proof-of-design and/or qualification of new designs.

Utilize first principles physics as a basis for all decisions.

Build prototypes, analyze failures, and transition successful projects into production.

Support critical hardware demonstrations with customers as needed.

Execute in-depth and rigorous opto-mechanical and electro-mechanical designs.

Required qualifications include a Bachelor's in mechanical engineering (BSME), or MS with 5 plus years of experience in design, hardware, or integrated product development and testing, and excellent leadership/communication.

Prior or current experience with spaceflight imaging applications, especially related to optical systems, is preferred.

Proficiency in various CAD tools and openness to using new software, with the ability to create high-quality engineering drawings that meet industry standards.

Strong skills in material selection, finishing, component sizing, system design, and troubleshooting.

Exceptional analytical, troubleshooting, and root-cause analysis skills.

Demonstrated hands-on fabrication skills.

Ability to integrate electronic components into mechanical designs (motors, controllers, sensors, etc.).

Experience with machining and fabrication processes, sheet metal, injection molding, and 3D printing.

Knowledge of industry standards (e.g., ASME Y14.5 GD&T) and regulatory requirements.

Ability to drive projects from concept to completion.

Excellent written and verbal skills for documentation, presentations, and collaboration.

Eligible to obtain and maintain an active U.S. Secret security clearance.

Preferred qualifications include experience with complex optical system design, analysis, testing, and implementation, experience in working with engineering teams from conceptual through detailed design phases, and experience in design of space-based mechanical structures, mechanisms, and electronics packaging along with engineering drawing development.
