Spacecraft Mechanical Engineer

We are looking for a Spacecraft Mechanical Engineer who is tired of slow-moving legacy cycles and ready to actually build. Based in Los Angeles, this isn't a role where your designs sit on a shelf. You will lead the design, assembly, and testing of structural systems for custom spacecraft, owning your hardware from the first sketch to the launch pad.

Core Responsibilities

Design primary and secondary spacecraft structures using CAD and GD&T.
Lead assembly, integration, and testing (AI&T) in cleanroom environments.
Develop mechanical assembly procedures and MGSE designs.
Perform hands-on integration, including torquing, staking, and fit checks.
Mentor junior engineers and collaborate across subsystems to ensure mission success.

Qualifications

Degree in Mechanical or Aerospace Engineering.
4+ years of aerospace experience with hands-on flight hardware integration.
Proficiency in Solidworks, NX, or similar CAD tools.
Familiarity with NASA standards and ESD protocols.

Opportunity & Benefits

Our client is a high-growth startup using automated computational design to build reliable, custom spacecraft. They offer paid medical, 401k matching, and a flexible vacation policy.
