Work as a satellite systems engineer across satellite design, development, testing, and operations, helping build communications infrastructure and direct-to-device connectivity.
About this role
This role is responsible for the design and development of mechanism components installed on the ZERO small rocket. The work covers components such as satellite and stage separation mechanisms, TVC actuators, umbilical carriers, pneumatic equipment, and avionics enclosures. It sits across the rocket development process and coordinates interfaces with propulsion, structures, avionics, and ground equipment teams.
The engineer defines performance, environmental-resistance, and safety requirements; creates mechanism and structural designs using 3D CAD; and works with fluid, structural, and thermal analysis teams. The role also includes planning and evaluating actuation, pressure, and vibration tests, preparing manufacturing drawings, improving designs from manufacturing feedback, and coordinating component production and quality with suppliers.
The supplied posting does not specify formal years-of-experience, education, certification, or other candidate qualifications. It identifies the design, analysis coordination, testing, documentation, and supplier-interface work as the core scope of the position.
