Job Summary
As a Mechanical Engineer at Lynk, you will be responsible for the analysis, design, build, and enhancement of the mechanical systems associated with our satellite communications payloads, satellites, testbeds, testing equipment, etc. Previous satellite design experience is required to be considered for this role. Some work products will include mechanical models of space and ground systems in CAD software, such as SolidWorks, and 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 satellite 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.
If you enjoy the challenge of wearing many hats and have a track record of creative thinking to solve unconventional problems, then we look forward to meeting you
