Engineering Manager, Mechanical

YOUR MISSION

True Anomaly is looking for you, a creative and experienced leader, to build, manage and lead a team responsible for taking programs from concept through production. This role owns the development, design, and procurement of primary and secondary spacecraft structures and mechanical ground support equipment (MGSE), continuously improving designs while meeting stringent mission and launch requirements for spacecraft and missile defense systems. Primary and secondary structure provide the environment for electronics and power subsystems to both reside and survive within spacecraft and missiles throughout the mission life cycle. MGSE creates the foundation for how we facilitate integration and test of spacecraft and missile defense systems. Together, structure design creates the skeletal structure for spacecraft and missile defense products and MGSE allow these systems to come together and be deployed effectively.
