ABOUT NOVIUM

Novium is a broadly focused, value centered engineering firm with roots that run deep in the high-tech fields of space and robotics. Our mission is to enable our clients to undergo revolutionary technological change by harnessing the power of robotics, automation, and electrification to usher in the next era of industry. We embody a “Give First” mentality and value integrity, teamwork, personal growth, and technical excellence. These values serve as a foundation for meaningful work and relationships, a positive company culture, and ultimately generate innovative products for our clients.


If you share our values and have a passion for solving hard problems, we invite you to join our team at Novium.


THE OPPORTUNITY

You will assume a role as a technical leader for the design and development of spaceflight robotic and electromechanical hardware. These systems may range in complexity from single degree of freedom linear and rotary actuators to multi degree of freedom mechanisms, robotic arms, and robotic platforms. You will be involved with every aspect of the engineering process to take these systems from conception to space. Additionally, you will help to set internal design standards and best practices for spaceflight hardware development.


The successful applicant will be undaunted by a challenge, eager to lead and mentor a multidisciplinary team of engineers and have complex systems engineering experience in the design and qualification of multi-degree-of-freedom electromechanical systems for spaceflight applications.


RESPONSIBILITIES:

  • System level requirements and architecture of multi-degree-of-freedom electromechanical systems for spaceflight applications
  • Design of complex electromechanical hardware
  • Design, analysis, and component selection for custom DC electric actuators (BLDC motors, Geartrains: Epicyclic, Strain wave, Cycloidal, etc, Encoders, Sensors, etc)
  • Full life cycle development of hardware (Requirements, System Architecture, Design, Analysis, Prototype, Assembly, Testing, Qualification, and Deployment)
  • Develop internal design standards and best practices for spaceflight hardware development
  • Be a technical leader for a multidisciplinary team of engineers
  • Lead design reviews with internal and external stakeholders
  • Communicate frequently and effectively with team members
  • Be responsible for deadlines
  • Be technically excellent and accountable for your work
  • Constantly strive to improve your own technical skills, company processes, and be willing to both teach and learn from your peers


BASIC QUALIFICATIONS:

  • Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Mechatronics, or similar discipline relevant to the design of complex electromechanical hardware and multi-degree-of-freedom systems
  • 10+ years of engineering experience including 5+ years’ experience designing electromechanical hardware for spaceflight applications
  • Experience using relevant standards and best practices for developing and qualifying spaceflight hardware for DOD, NASA, or Commercial Spaceflight applications
  • Demonstrated ability to lead and mentor a cross disciplinary team of engineers (mechanical, electrical, software)
  • Hands on experience prototyping, assembling, and testing electromechanical hardware
  • Sound understanding of the spaceflight environment (thermal, radiation, vacuum, etc), launch loads, and ability to transfer this knowledge into design requirements for hardware development
  • Demonstrated ability to use data and analysis to inform design decisions
  • Proof of US Citizenship or US Permanent Residency is required to comply with ITAR regulations


PREFERRED SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE:

  • Master’s degree or higher in a discipline related robotics or control theory
  • Experience in the design and development of multi-degree-of-freedom robotic systems
  • Experience at a lean engineering organization or in a highly technical position that required a scrappy, entrepreneurial manner to accomplish tasks with tight time or budget constraints
