Mechanical Engineer

They say the best deployable is no deployable, but we believe large deployable mechanisms are the future for large infrastructure in space. At Beyond Reach Labs, we are designing and building the largest deployable structures ever flown to space. As an engineering-driven organization, you will be at the forefront of the company's key technology development. To make this possible, mechanical systems will need to be greatly simplified, more reliable, and easier to manufacture. As a Mechanical Engineer, you will be responsible for designing, analyzing, and validating mechanical systems and actuators for our deployable structures. These mechanisms are used in various applications from solar arrays to radiators. You will be entrusted to improve existing systems while also helping to shape and design the next generation. Key Responsibilities:

• Design and Development:

• Testing and Validation:

• Optimization and Cost Management:

Basic Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or a related field.

• 1+ years of experience in a hands-on engineering role working with satellite or launch vehicle mechanisms.

• Experience designing and qualifying mechanisms driven by stepper or BLDC motors, springs, and HDRMs.

• Proficient in developing design models and drawings for production and analysis using CAD software.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Master’s or PhD degree in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or a related technical discipline.

• Project management experience for technical projects.

• Expertise in materials selection for space applications.

• Experience working with very large lightweight deployable structures

• Proficiency using Fusion and Ansys for CAD and analysis.

Additional Requirements:

• Willingness to work extended hours and weekends as necessary to support critical project milestones.

• Must be a U.S. citizen, lawful permanent resident, or eligible for authorization under U.S. export regulations.
