Mechanical Engineer - Lasercom
Observable Space, Los Angeles, CA
The role
You’ll design and build mechanical hardware for laser communications terminals, from optical ground stations to space-based systems. Your impact is immediate. We go from a sketch to a bench prototype in weeks, then build, test, and ship flight hardware on a timeline measured in months. You’ll own your assemblies and work alongside optics, electrical, controls, and manufacturing engineers to build, align, and test them.
What you will do
- Design terminal hardware such as optical benches, telescope structures, mounts, enclosures, and electronics packaging.
