Ready to make connectivity from space universally accessible, secure and actionable? Then you’ve come to the right place!
E-Space is bridging Earth and space to enable hyper-scaled deployments of space-powered Internet of Things (IoT) solutions and services. We are fundamentally changing the design, economics, manufacturing, coverage limitations and service delivery associated with traditional satellite and terrestrial IoT systems.
By building a highly-advanced low Earth orbit (LEO)space system—with a unique antenna design, highly sustainable spacecraft system and low-cost, small portable end-user devices—we can extend global satellite coverage, capacity and connectivity beyond legacy space services to provide a new kind of IoT platform that lets users sense, track, connect and act on information gathered, anywhere.
We’re intentional, we’re unapologetically curious and we’re 100% committed to saving space, protecting our planet and turning connectivity into actionable intelligence.
As a Mechanical Engineer, you will design and manufacture satellite structures and mechanisms. We are big on hardware ownership, so you will not only be a critical part of the engineering design effort, but you will also have critical involvement throughout the satellite build.
This position will report to the VP, Satellite Platform and will work closely with the broader engineering team. This role is based in our Saratoga, CA office.
What you will do
- Work closely with the satellite sub-system teams to design satellite structures and mechanisms
- Be a CAD modeling expert (SolidWorks) managing CAD assemblies and drawings
- Develop build documents and drawings for your hardware
- Define, build and test your designs from 3D printed engineering units to flight hardware
- Support the fabrication assembly and testing of our flight build
What you bring to this role
- Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Mechanical, Aerospace or equivalent real-world design and build experience
- 2 years of hands-on experience using your CAD skills to develop and build models and drawings
- Successfully implemented your design solutions in a complex environment
- Experience with mechanical design to survive extreme environments and challenging mass constraints
Extra points
- Experience working on complex satellite/space systems
We are redefining how satellites are designed, manufactured and used—so we’re looking for candidates with passion, deep knowledge and direct experience on LEO satellite component development, design and in-orbit activities. If that’s your experience – then we’ll be immediately wow-ed.
