Vast Senior Mechanical Engineer responsible for designing and developing thermal control systems for artificial-gravity space stations. Leads design reviews and manages project delivery from design through launch and orbit insertion.
Responsibilities
Own the design and development of thermal control system and components for our artificial-gravity space station, from initial design trades to fully functional and validated system
Possible thermal components include heat exchangers, cold plates, heaters, heat pipes, etc...
Iterate on manufacturing processes and development testing in a fast-paced environment
Own the project delivery timeline from early design through production, launch, and orbit insertion
Perform systems engineering tasks and fluid analyses
Lead design reviews internally and externally with suppliers and customers
Work with interdisciplinary stakeholders to ensure the component will integrate with the necessary avionics, software, and mission operations systems
Make sure that all designs are manufacturable and reliable
Bring technical excellence to everything you do
