Mechanical Engineer, Avionics, Avionics - Mechancial
Do you want to be part of a team that is building industry changing technology? Project Kuiper is an initiative to increase global broadband access through a constellation of 3,236 satellites in low Earth orbit (LEO). It's mission is to bring fast, affordable broadband to unserved and underserved communities around the world. Project Kuiper will help close the digital divide by delivering fast, affordable broadband to a wide range of customers, including consumers, businesses, government agencies, and other organizations operating in places without reliable connectivity. We're looking for a Mechanical Engineer with a background in design and analysis of Avionics mechanical enclosures for printed circuit board assemblies (PCBA) on satellite systems. The ideal candidate has experience performing line replaceable unit (LRU) specific design and analyses such as random vibration analysis and hand calculation sizing based on quasi-static accelerations. Key job responsibilities- Mechanical design and layout trades contributing to overall system architecture configuration selection, requiring knowledge and experience in understanding, collaborating and trading complex inputs from multiple other disciplines – Electrical, RF, Thermal, Dynamics, Mechanisms, Materials, Manufacturing, Assembly, and Test.- Generate detailed designs with 3D CAD assemblies/components and 2D drawings as deliverables.- Conduct static, dynamic, and modal structural analysis as needed to support design work.- Deliver efficient designs capable of high volume production throughput (DFM, DFA).- Documentation and presentation of materials for technical design reviews.- Design and support test campaigns, both development and qualification/acceptance, for space hardware.Export Control Requirement:Due to applicable export control laws and regulations, candidates must be a U.S. citizen or national, U.S. permanent resident (i.e., current Green Card holder), or lawfully admitted into the U.S. as a refugee or granted asylum. A day in the lifeThis is a hands-on role for a highly collaborative individual that combines technical and analytical capabilities to convert analytic trade studies to a qualified physical design, while optimizing for high volume production and meeting cross-discipline requirements. The candidate will design, analyze, and test secondary structures while ensuring all requirements are met. BASIC QUALIFICATIONS- Bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering or equivalent- 4+ years of working in mechanical engineering or equivalent experience- Experience with prototyping and implementation ...
