Senior Electromechanical Engineer — Antenna Systems

Job description

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 Internet of Things (IoT) solutions and services. We are building a highly-advanced low Earth orbit (LEO) space system that will fundamentally change the design, economics, manufacturing and service delivery associated with traditional satellite and terrestrial IoT systems. We’re intentional, we’re unapologetically curious and we’re 100% committed to innovate space-based communications and deliver actionable intelligence that will expand global economies, protect space and our planet and enhance our overall quality of life. We are looking for a Senior Electromechanical Engineer to own electrical, optical and sensing harness/interconnect products for a space-based antenna application. This is a hands-on role for someone who enjoys developing unique solutions to unique problems - from preliminary system design and component selection to qualification, integration & flight. ### What you'll do: - Own the design and selection of the spacecraft’s wiring harness — electrical wiring, optical fiber, connectors, and interconnects. - Own antenna specific sensors and their integration, routing, and signal interfaces. - Define harness and connector requirements and drive component selection and supplier evaluation. - Take harness, connectors, and fiber through qualification for the flight environment. - Develop routing, strain-relief, and integration approaches compatible with a spacecraft structure. - Create harness drawings, wire lists, and interface documentation. - Support assembly, integration, and test, and resolve harness-related anomalies throughout the entire product lifecycle. ### Required qualifications: - Own the design and selection of the spacecraft’s wiring harness — electrical wiring, optical fiber, connectors, and interconnects. - Own antenna specific sensors and their integration, routing, and signal interfaces. - Define harness and connector requirements and drive component selection and supplier evaluation. - Take harness, connectors, and fiber through qualification for the flight environment. - Develop routing, strain-relief, and integration approaches compatible with a spacecraft structure. - Create harness drawings, wire lists, and interface documentation. - Support assembly, integration, and test, and resolve harness-related anomalies throughout the entire product lifecycle. ### Preferred qualifications: - Optical fiber / fiber-optic harness experience. - Sensors and instrumentation integration. - Space or flight environmental qualification (thermal-vacuum, vibration, radiation). - Experience with space structures. ### Location On-site in California or Texas. Some travel between sites may be required. ### Additional Requirements This is a fast-paced, high-impact environment - flexibility to occasionally work extended hours or weekends during critical periods is expected.
