Mechanical Engineer-

Job Summary

As a Mechanical Engineer, you will be responsible for the analysis, design, build, and enhancement of the mechanical systems associated with our nanosatellite communications payloads, satellites, testbeds, testing equipment, etc. Some work products will include mechanical models of space and ground systems in CAD software (e.g., Solidworks), thermal analysis, structural analysis, vibration analysis, and finite element analysis to support critical system trades. In addition to design, you will also be responsible for integration and testing support of critical hardware systems such as spacecraft mechanical, structural, and electrical subsystems. While mechanically focused, your role will involve working closely with the Electrical, RF, Software, and Systems teams at the company.

Core Responsibilities:

Because Lynk is a small company, the Mechanical Engineer will be involved in Mechanical and Thermal engineering work.

• Leading design and modeling of spacecraft/payload hardware (also some equipment for use on the ground and in the lab) using Solidworks.
• Developing materials and structural (e.g., vibration) analyses of space hardware.
• Performing thermal analyses of components and the entire system in all operational modes.
• Interface with systems, harness, software, and electrical/RF engineering teams to inform spacecraft/payload mechanical design and layout.
• Support spacecraft/payload integration, testing, delivery to launch, and spacecraft bus partners/vendors.
• Designing and planning mechanical testing configurations on the ground when testing payload communications performance both in-lab and in-orbit (this has more mechanical aspects than you might think)
• Bench level mechatronics work including testing, integration, assembly, and prototyping of electronic/mechanical hardware
• Support the development and maintenance of technical documentation for payload/spacecraft design and development.
• Must be able to work independently and in a team environment.
