Mechanical Engineer
Xona Space Systems, Burlingame, California
The role
We’re looking for a Mechanical Engineer who can independently take ownership of hardware and carry it from design through build and test. You will deliver spacecraft components, assemblies, and ground equipment, working closely with experienced engineers as your responsibilities grow.
Projects may include primary structure, deployable mechanisms, launch vehicle interfaces, machined and sheet metal brackets, solar arrays, electronics enclosures, precision mounts, and high-criticality mechanical ground support equipment (GSE). Your assignments will evolve with the needs of the spacecraft and the team.
You will own defined projects and assemblies, make day-to-day engineering decisions, and seek review when risks or interfaces require broader expertise. We value engineers who enjoy working with physical hardware, investigate problems carefully, and follow through on the details that make a design work.
