Lead Mechanical Engineer

Overview

You will own every structural and mechanical system on the interceptor: the airframe, internal structure, mechanisms, and the interface to the launcher. You will lead a team of ~5 mechanical engineers.

The vehicle has to survive extreme launch, aerodynamic, vibration, and thermal loads. It also has to fit hard volume and interface limits set by existing launchers. You’ll work directly with the founders and with the propulsion, aerodynamics, controls, and electrical engineers. You’ll take hardware from first concept through ground test to live flight.

• B.S. in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or a related field.
• 7+ years of experience designing flight or high-load hardware.
• Experience leading engineers or owning a major subsystem from design through test.
