Spacecraft Mechanisms Build Engineer at Apex Technology Inc · LumiJobs

Responsibilities

Apex is seeking a Mechanisms Build Engineer to support the development, integration, scaling, and qualification of spacecraft electromechanical hardware, with a primary focus on long-life rotating assemblies and electrically driven mechanism systems.
This role will support the build and test of critical spacecraft components including actuator systems, motor-driven mechanisms, reaction wheel-related hardware, deployables, and other precision electromechanical assemblies. You’ll work closely with mechanisms, avionics, controls, manufacturing, and test teams to develop scalable production and validation approaches for flight hardware that must survive demanding environments and long mission lifetimes.
We’re looking for someone who is deeply practical, electromechanically minded, and excited about building, testing, troubleshooting, and scaling complex hardware systems.
Support the build, integration, and qualification of spacecraft electromechanical hardware and long-life rotating assemblies.
Develop and execute component-level and system-level test campaigns for motor-driven spacecraft hardware and mechanisms.
Support manufacturing scaling efforts for actuator systems and precision electromechanical components.
Design and implement test setups, fixtures, instrumentation, and validation approaches for rotating assemblies and actuator hardware.
Work closely with controls, avionics, and software teams to integrate and validate motor drive systems and mechanism telemetry interfaces.
Support implementation and testing of Hall effect sensors, rotary encoders, resolvers, microswitches, potentiometers, and other electromechanical feedback devices.
Troubleshoot hardware and system-level issues across motors, mechanisms, sensors, controls interfaces, and electrical integration.
Support environmental testing including vibration, thermal vacuum, shock, lifetime, and functional performance testing.
Develop manufacturing and test procedures, work instructions, assembly documentation, and production validation processes.
