• Create detailed piece part and assembly drawings of flight components. 
• Work collaboratively with structural, thermal, and propulsion teams during analyses to validate designs and ensure compliance with mission requirements. 
• Support build/assembly and test campaigns of flight systems. 
• Contribute to continuous improvement initiatives to enhance design efficiency, manufacturability, and system performance. 

BASIC QUALIFICATIONS  

• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering. 
• 3+ years of professional experience in mechanical design. 
• Demonstrated experience with spacecraft level mechanical architecture design, as well as component design for space mechanisms, and packaging electronics for the space environment. 
• Demonstrated a strong knowledge in mechanical GD&T. 
• Experience with configuration control, MES and PLM tools. 
• Proficiency in CAD tools, such as SolidWorks. 
• Passion for the space industry. 
• Proven ability to lead projects from concept to delivery in a fast-paced environment. 
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills. 

PREFERRED SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE  

• Master’s degree in mechanical engineering. 
• 4+ years of experience in development and production of space systems. 
• Experience in or exposure to mechanical design for propulsion systems, mechanisms, and/or payloads. 
• Track record of innovative problem-solving in complex mechanical designs. 
• Experience working in a startup or similarly dynamic and fast-paced environment. 
• Familiarity with full vehicle lifecycle from concept through production. 

COMPENSATION  

• Colorado Base Salary: $100,000-$135,000
• California Base Salary: $105,000-$140,000
• Equity + Benefits including Health, Dental, Vision, HRA/HSA options, PTO and paid holidays, 401K, Parental Leave 

Your actual level and base salary will be determined on a case-by-case basis and may vary based on the following considerations: job-related knowledge and skills, education, location, and experience. 

ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS 

• Ability to maintain or obtain TS//SCI clearance
