ABOUT THE JOB
You'll be the responsible engineer for your subsystem, owning hardware from concept through launch. Most of our programs are early-stage, so you'll have real influence on design decisions and the chance to see your work fly. This is a hands-on, first-principles role with full lifecycle ownership from day one.
WHAT YOU’LL DO
- Design hardware in CAD, run hand calculations, perform structural analysis and build prototypes..
- Make architecture and packaging trade-offs, continuously simplifying where possible.
- Present at subsystem design reviews and communicate technical status and timelines.
- Define and execute test plans, analyze failures, and visit vendors.
- Transition prototype designs to flight hardware and low-rate production.
- Create technical documentation — drawings, test plans, procedures, and vendor specifications.
- Travel to test sites and vendors as needed.
REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS
- BS or higher in mechanical engineering, aerospace engineering, or a related discipline.
- Strong foundation in core engineering coursework: mechanics of materials, thermodynamics, fluid dynamics, heat transfer, and statics.
- Hands-on fabrication experience — you've personally used a mill, lathe, drill press, or similar shop equipment in a school shop, co-op, or on your own time.
- CAD proficiency (any platform) and the ability to produce engineering drawings that meet common industry standards.
- Meaningful involvement in a hands-on technical project — through a competitive engineering club (FSAE, Baja SAE, rocket team, CubeSat program) or a co-op/internship where you designed and built real hardware.
- Excellent attention to detail and strong organizational skills.
- Highly motivated and self-starting, with the ability to define scope and requirements for problems that aren't fully defined yet.
- Eligible to obtain and maintain an active U.S. security clearance.
PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS
- Shop teaching assistant experience (mill, lathe, CNC, welding) — candidates who taught the shop class after taking it stand out.
- Leadership role in a competitive engineering club (FSAE, Baja, aerospace/rocket team, CubeSat program).
- Experience integrating electronic components (PCBAs, motors, sensors) into mechanical designs.
- Co-op or internship at a startup or fast-paced engineering environment.
- Experience with NX/Teamcenter.
- Exposure to optical or RF system integration.
- Familiarity with Python, MATLAB, or similar tools for analytical models or data processing.
- Structural or thermal testing experience — sensor selection, data acquisition, post-processing.
