You will own the success of mechanical structures, mechanisms, and electromechanical subsystems that will be key to our satellite operation. In your first 6 months, you will define product requirements, create initial concepts and trades, perform preliminary and detailed analysis, define development test campaigns, and produce development hardware. In your first year, you will validate your designs through prototype iterations and build and qualify flight hardware. In your first two years you will progressively take on larger scope sub-systems while directly supporting production and integration.
What you will do
- Take satellite mechanical hardware and mechanisms from conceptual design through qualification to on-orbit operations in order to support internal and external customer needs
- Lead satellite subsystem design reviews from kickoff through qualification and beyond
