  • Perform and lead mechanism-level and subsystem-level tests; develop testing requirements, materials, processes, and tooling (vibration, shock, TVAC, assembly)
  • Participate in and execute design, analysis, and system trade studies to determine mechanism AIT strategies at system and spacecraft levels
  • Provide inputs to Design Engineering to optimize manufacturing flow, cost, and layout
  • Prepare detailed product and process reports by collecting, analyzing, and summarizing data
  • Execute design and analysis using sound engineering principles while adhering to company standards and program requirements
  • Troubleshoot and investigate anomalies and failures, perform root-cause analysis, and drive resolution
  • Participate in iterative mechanism design improvements based on findings in test and production

Qualifications

Education

Bachelor's degree in mechanical or aerospace engineering

Experience

Minimum of 2–5 years of relevant experience in aerospace or precision hardware assembly/test.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience with space-qualified mechanisms (e.g., release devices, actuators, hinges, latches, deployment systems)
  • Familiarity with root cause and corrective action (RCCA) methodologies and nonconformance resolution
  • Working knowledge of ECAD/MCAD integration, configuration control, and product data management systems
  • Experience supporting vibration, shock, and TVAC test campaigns
  • Understanding of cleanroom practices and contamination control
  • Preferred certifications: IPC-A-610/J-STD-001, NASA-STD-8739 or ECSS-Q-ST-70 standards, AS9100, Six Sigma

Soft Skills

  • Strong interpersonal skills with the ability to collaborate across engineering and production teams
  • Proven problem-solving mindset and ownership mentality
  • Meticulous attention to detail to ensure accuracy of documentation and project deliverables
  • Proactive, organized, and able to manage multiple priorities simultaneously

Technology Stack

  • Data/Documentation Systems: Fusion or equivalent PDM/PLM tools
  • General Tools: Microsoft Office Suite (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Project)
  • Test/Data Acquisition: LabVIEW or similar systems (preferred)

Physical Requirements
