Overview
EOI Space is developing and deploying a network of satellites in Very Low Earth Orbit (VLEO) to provide ultra-high-resolution Earth imagery. We aim to deliver timely and actionable data for commercial and defense applications. We are on our way to achieving many industry firsts. This demands an ambitious team that revels in leaning into challenges, getting hands on, and working together. EOI Space is seeking a highly skilled and experienced Senior Mechanical Engineer to join our dynamic Aerospace Engineering Team, playing a key role in the design, analysis, integration, assembly, and testing of spacecraft structural systems. This position is critical in ensuring that spacecraft components meet the highest standards of integrity, reliability, and performance required in the harsh environment of space. Responsibilities
Drive the design and optimization of spacecraft structures, mechanisms, and components by utilizing CAD software and finite element analysis (FEA) tools to model and simulate structural behavior under various loading conditions and environmental factors Package vehicle components effectively by factoring in their respective needs for heat dissipation and fields of view Evaluate design alternatives and select optimal solutions for mechanical subsystems by conducting feasibility studies and trade-off analyses Create robust documentation by developing and maintaining mechanical interface control documents for spacecraft bus-level components Verify the integrity, reliability, and safety of mechanical designs by performing structural analysis and simulations and supporting hardware through test campaigns Create effective assembly and manufacturing drawings by leveraging GD&T Support the manufacturing and assembly processes by providing guidance and troubleshooting assistance at all stages of integration Ensure the timely delivery of high-quality mechanical components and subsystems by collaborating with suppliers and external partners through the entire part lifecycle Communicate design concepts, analysis results, and test findings to internal stakeholders, external partners, and regulatory authorities by preparing thorough technical documentation, reports, and presentations Requirements
Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Mechanical, Aerospace, or related engineering discipline 5+ years of applicable mechanical engineering experience with 2+ of those years focused on spacecraft/satellite applications Deep understanding of mechanical first principles Hands on experience with flight hardware assembly Familiarity with spacecraft operational & survival environments (vibe, thermal, etc.) Proficient with Solidworks or similar CAD and FEA tools Experience generating engineering drawings to the Y14.5-2009 standard Familiar with engineering best practices when it comes to aerospace mechanical/structural design Experience with rapid prototyping/testing to confirm proof-of-concept designs Ability to work effectively in a multi-discipline team and provide technical guidance with minimal oversight Compensation
The anticipated compensation for this position is $135,000-$175,000/yr, depending on previous experience. Pay ranges are determined by role, level, location, and alignment with market data. Individual pay will be determined on a case-by-case basis and may vary based on the following considerations: interviews and an assessment of several factors that are unique to each candidate, job-related skills, relevant education and experience, certifications, abilities of the candidate and internal equity. Work Location
This is an onsite role to be located in Louisville, CO.
