Mass-manufacturing productized satellite platforms to accelerate deployment of critical, next-generation constellations. Backed by a16z and CRV.
About the role
Apex is seeking an Opto-Mechanical Manufacturing Engineer to develop, implement, and scale manufacturing processes for precision opto-mechanical spacecraft assemblies. This role will bridge design engineering and production, taking hardware from initial development through qualification and repeatable manufacturing. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.
What they're looking for
- Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Optical Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, or a related technical field
- 3+ years of experience in precision mechanical assembly, opto-mechanical integration, manufacturing engineering, or hardware development
- Experience developing assembly processes, tooling, and fixtures for complex hardware
- Proficiency with 3D CAD software such as NX, SolidWorks, or Creo
- Understanding of GD&T, tolerance stack-ups, and precision measurement techniques
- Experience troubleshooting hardware and supporting hands-on assembly, integration, and testing
More about this role
Spacecraft represent the most pressing unmet need across the entire aerospace industry. As more launch vehicles come online and the cost to orbit decreases, more companies launching payloads to space continue to emerge.
For the first time in history, this influx of payload companies combined with reduced launch costs has resulted in a massive increase in need for commercial spacecraft platforms, known as satellite buses. These buses hold the payloads of our customers and are flown on launch vehicles.
Apex manufactures these satellite buses at scale using a combination of software, vertical integration, and hardware that is designed for manufacturing. Our spacecraft enable the future of society: ranging from earth observation to communications and more.
We’d love for you to join us on our mission of providing humankind access to the galaxy beyond our planet.
