About this Senior Mechanical Engineer role at Espace

Espace · Onsite · Saratoga, CA
Ready to make connectivity from space universally accessible, secure and actionable? Then you’ve come to the right place!

E-Space is bridging Earth and space to enable hyper-scaled deployments of Internet of Things (IoT) solutions and services. We are building a highly-advanced low Earth orbit (LEO) space system that will fundamentally change the design, economics, manufacturing and service delivery associated with traditional satellite and terrestrial IoT systems.

We’re intentional, we’re unapologetically curious and we’re 100% committed to innovate space-based communications and deliver actionable intelligence that will expand global economies, protect space and our planet and enhance our overall quality of life.

What is the role: 
 
As a Mechanical Engineer at E-Space you will design and manufacture satellite structures and mechanisms. We are big on hardware ownership, so you will not only be a critical part of the engineering design effort, but you will also have critical involvement throughout the satellite build.     
 
This position will report to the VP, Satellite Platform and will work closely with the broader engineering team. This role is based in our Saratoga, CA office.   
 

What you will do:

  • Work closely with the satellite sub-system teams to design satellite structures and mechanisms  
  • Be a CAD modeling expert (SolidWorks) managing CAD assemblies and drawings  
  • Develop build documents and drawings for your hardware  
  • Define, build and test your designs from 3D printed engineering units to flight hardware  
  • Support the fabrication assembly and testing of our flight build  
  • What you bring to this role:

  • 6 to 8 years of hands-on experience using your CAD skills to develop and build models and drawings  
  • Successfully implemented your design solutions in a complex environment 
  • Experience with mechanical design to survive extreme environments and challenging mass constraints  
  • Bonus points:

  • Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Mechanical, Aerospace or equivalent real-world design and build experience  
  • Experience working on complex satellite/space systems
  • Additional Requirements

    This is a fast-paced, high-impact environment - flexibility to occasionally work extended hours or weekends during critical periods is expected.

    We are redefining how satellites are designed, manufactured and used—so we’re looking for candidates with passion, deep knowledge and direct experience on LEO satellite component development, design and in-orbit activities. If that’s your experience – then we’ll be immediately wow-ed.
     
    The Company is not currently able to provide employment sponsorship for candidates who do not hold work authorization for the location of this role.

    Why E-Space is right for you:

    As a member of our team, you will play a crucial role in driving our success.  Our team members have a strong sense of dedication and responsibility; this includes a strong commitment to our mission to create an entirely new suite of global capabilities to improve lives, business efficiencies and build a smarter planet. This means that there will be times when extra hours, including nights and weekends, may be needed to meet critical deadlines and mission goals.  In return, we offer a dynamic work environment with opportunities for professional growth and development and the chance to make a meaningful impact in a high-growth industry.  

    We want you to make the most of your journey at E-Space. That’s why we support and invest in the physical, emotional and financial well-being of our team members and their families. Some of what you can expect when working at E-Space:

    • An opportunity to really make a difference
