Qualification

Exposure to mechanisms designExposure to on-orbit servicing conceptsExposure to full hardware lifecycle

Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related engineering discipline.
1–7 years of professional experience in mechanical design, preferably within aerospace, defense, or a related industry.
Exposure to or coursework in spacecraft or satellite systems, including structural design, mechanisms, or space environment considerations.
Hands-on experience with 3D CAD modeling and drawing creation in NX (Siemens) and/or SolidWorks.
Working knowledge of GD&T principles and their application to piece part and assembly drawings.
Familiarity with structural and mechanical design principles, including load paths, joints, and materials selection relevant to launch and on-orbit environments.
Exposure to mechanisms design, including hinges, deployment systems, actuators, or other moving assemblies.
Familiarity with electronics packaging concepts, including thermal interface materials, harness routing, and avionics integration constraints.
Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with attention to detail.
Ability to work effectively in a collaborative, cross-functional team environment.
Strong written and verbal communication skills.

Experience designing hardware for space or flight environments, including considerations for launch loads, thermal cycling, vacuum outgassing, and radiation.
Familiarity with smallsat or CubeSat platforms, including COTS component integration and mass-constrained design.
Exposure to on-orbit servicing concepts, proximity operations vehicles, or docking and capture mechanisms.
Familiarity with structural analysis methods or FEA tools (e.g., NASTRAN, Ansys) and ability to interpret results in support of design decisions.
Exposure to propulsion system mechanical integration, including thruster or tank mounting and propellant line routing.
Familiarity with relevant spacecraft and aerospace standards (e.g., NASA-STD-5001, GEVS, AIAA S-110, MIL-SPEC).
Exposure to full hardware lifecycle, from concept and design through fabrication, assembly, and test.
Familiarity with configuration management and PLM tools (e.g., Teamcenter, Windchill) and engineering change processes.
