Full Job Description
The Aerospace Mechanisms Engineer will design, analyze, and test complex moving mechanical assemblies for spacecraft, missile systems, and air platforms. This position requires experience developing flight-critical mechanisms, including motor drives, deployment hinges, latching mechanisms, and separation systems. The engineer will perform kinematic, structural, and thermal modeling to ensure mechanism performance and reliability in demanding aerospace environments.

This role involves overseeing hardware development from conceptual design through manufacturing, environmental testing, and final flight qualification. The engineer will collaborate with multidisciplinary teams to integrate mechanisms into vehicle architectures while meeting strict mass, power, and interface constraints. Proficiency in CAD modeling is required, with Siemens NX preferred; familiarity with ANSI Y14.5 is also necessary.

Required Qualifications:
  • Minimum of 5 years of experience in the design and development of mechanisms for spacecraft, missile systems, or air platforms.
  • Experience designing, analyzing, and testing flight-critical mechanical assemblies, including actuators, hinges, latching devices, and deployment or separation mechanisms.
  • Proficiency in kinematic, stress, and thermal analysis for aerospace applications.
  • Experience managing hardware development from initial concept through manufacturing, environmental testing, and flight qualification.
  • Ability to work collaboratively with multidisciplinary engineering teams to integrate mechanisms into overall vehicle architectures.
  • CAD proficiency, preferably with Siemens NX; familiarity ANSI Y14.5 (GD&T)
  • Ability to work both independently and collaboratively within a multi-disciplinary team.
  • Demonstrates strong initiative, self-motivation, and a proactive approach to problem-solving without requiring constant direction.
  • Active DoD Secret clearance with the ability to obtain and maintain a DoD TS/SCI clearance.
  • Ability to lift and/or move 50 pounds.


In compliance with applicable pay transparency laws, the expected salary range for this position is $112,000 - $160,000 per year, depending on experience and location. This role is also eligible for an annual performance bonus and may include equity or incentive compensation as part of the total rewards package.

TSC Benefits:

TSC offers a stable work environment, a competitive salary, and a comprehensive benefit package; including ESOP participation, 401k Plan, Flexible Work Schedules, Tuition Reimbursement, Co-Sponsored Health Plan, Paid Leave and much more.

Applying to TSC:

Employment at TSC is contingent upon the successful completion of a comprehensive background check, security investigation, and a drug screening.
