Job Description

Senior Mechanical Engineer – Drive Full-Cycle Space Hardware Development!

Camarillo, CA | Onsite

Opportunity Summary

Join a fast-paced engineering team at a growing technology company that designs and delivers advanced RF electronics and passive components for space-based communication systems. As a Senior Mechanical Engineer, you will take full ownership of product design, simulation, analysis, and prototyping for mission-critical satellite payload hardware. This is a hands-on role where you’ll contribute directly to new space hardware programs, supporting the entire lifecycle from concept through qualification and delivery. You’ll work closely with RF and PCB engineers, own mechanical packaging challenges, and develop designs that survive the harshest launch and orbital environments.

About Us

We are a California-based company developing cutting-edge hardware for aerospace and defense customers worldwide. Our teams design, qualify, manufacture, test, and deliver all hardware from our in-house facilities, giving engineers the rare ability to own projects end-to-end. With growing demand across multiple programs, we’re expanding our engineering team to push the boundaries of performance and reliability in space-based communications.

Job Duties

• Own the complete lifecycle of mechanical hardware, from concept through delivery.
• Perform structural, thermal, and environmental analyses to ensure survival through launch and on-orbit conditions.
• Lead CAD modeling, simulations, and FEA analysis (SolidWorks preferred).
• Rapidly prototype and iterate designs in a high-mix, low-volume manufacturing environment.
• Collaborate with RF engineers to support packaging and integration of microwave assemblies.
• Partner with PCB designers to address layout, vibration, and thermal requirements of complex PCAs.
• Support qualification testing and ensure compliance with aerospace and industry standards.
• Provide clear documentation and contribute to continuous improvement of internal processes.
