Senior Mechanical Design Engineer - Space

About the Role

As a Mechanical Design Engineer in the Mission Engineering team, you will primarily own hardware associated with nuclear power systems in space and on the surface of the Moon and Mars. As the Responsible Engineer (RE) on space you will take hardware from clean sheet design to build, dev test, qualification, and integration. You will be responsible for the entire life cycle of your hardware and system, interfaces to and from other systems, how your hardware fits into the larger system, sourcing, building, testing, and designing improvements for a first‑of‑a‑kind system. You’ll drive trades on system layout, interfaces, packaging, working closely with cross‑disciplinary teams to refine configurations and close design loops. Your responsibilities will span CAD design, system analysis, leading design reviews, precise definition of thermal and mechanical interfaces, requirements ownership and decomposition, and manufacturability / scalability of your design. <...
