Senior Level Career (10+ yrs experience)
$150,000 - $190,000
Engineering - Mechanical
Satellite CAD Design & Modeling Engineer- Solidworks
Key Responsibilities
• CAD Design & Modeling: Create detailed 3D mechanical designs and assemblies for spacecraft components using SolidWorks.
• Thermal Control System (TCS) Design: Design and implement passive and active thermal solutions, including radiated cooled panels (radiators), multi-layer insulation (MLI), heat pipes, and thermal coatings.
•
• Systems Integration: Define mechanical and thermal interfaces (ICDs) and collaborate with multidisciplinary teams (electrical, propulsion, avionics) to ensure seamless subsystem integration.
• Documentation: Maintain Bill of Materials (BOM), create manufacturing drawings, and generate thermal analysis reports for design reviews.
Required Qualifications
• Education: Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical or Aerospace Engineering (Master’s or Ph.D. preferred for senior roles).
• Experience: Typically 5+ years in spacecraft mechanical/thermal design, with specific expertise in orbital environmental factors.
• Software Proficiency:
o CAD: Advanced SolidWorks experience is essential, including large assembly management.
• Technical Knowledge:
o Deep understanding of heat transfer principles (conduction and radiation dominant in vacuum).
o Knowledge of materials and finishes (e.g., aluminum, anodizing, specialized space coatings).
o Familiarity with Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T).
Preferred Skills
• Experience with advanced cooling technologies like loop heat pipes or mechanically pumped fluid loops.
• Knowledge of AS9100/ISO 9001 quality management systems.
• Experience with Product Data Management (PDM) or PLM systems.
