Full Job Description
We have an opening for a Mechanical Engineer to join our team of qualified and diverse individuals. In this role the individual will support the ongoing development and implementation of satellite and payload architectures over their entire design/manufacturing life cycle. Activities include mechanical and thermal modelling/analysis, interface design, subsystem interaction evaluations, integration of flight hardware, and environmental test support. An individual applying for this role is expected to be able to dynamically shift between tasks and willing to take on new challenges when they arise. A typical day in this role includes a combination of performing assigned technical tasks, interacting with other engineering team members, and participating in customer meetings to support successful completion of the project and ensure the logical and systematic conversion of customer or product requirements into a cohesive satellite design. Applicants should be both a self-starter as well as be able to collaborate with a larger team.
Job Responsibilities:
Tackle dynamic mechanically and thermally oriented assignments which require interaction with other OpTech team members or multiple customer points of contact.
Review technical designs and identify gaps where requirements are not being met and identify solutions.
Technical planning, integration, verification, and validation.
Support development of satellite products to include concept, detailed design, fabrication & test support, installation support, and support of programmatic activities.
Ensure the logical and systematic conversion of customer or product requirements into total systems solutions that acknowledge technical, schedule, and cost constraints.
Basic Qualifications:
Bachelor's degree (or better) in related Engineering Discipline
3-10 years of experience in Mechanical Engineering
Experience working with tools (e.g. Ansys, Thermal Desktop) or generating tools which evaluate mechanical performance
Experience in communicating with small teams
