Beyond Reach Labs builds deployable solar arrays that deliver orders-of-magnitude more power per launch — bringing scalable energy to the places in space that need it most. Backed by Y Combinator.
About the role
At Beyond Reach Labs, we are designing and building the largest deployable structures ever flown to space. As an engineering-driven organization, you will be at the forefront of the company's key technology development.
What they're looking for
- Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or a related field
- 1+ years of experience in a hands-on engineering role working with satellite or launch vehicle mechanisms
- Experience designing and qualifying mechanisms driven by stepper or BLDC motors, springs, and HDRMs
- Proficient in developing design models and drawings for production and analysis using CAD software
- Master’s or PhD degree in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or a related technical discipline
- Project management experience for technical projects
More about this role
They say the best deployable is no deployable, but we believe large deployable mechanisms are the future for large infrastructure in space.
At Beyond Reach Labs, we are designing and building the largest deployable structures ever flown to space. As an engineering-driven organization, you will be at the forefront of the company's key technology development.
To make this possible, mechanical systems will need to be greatly simplified, more reliable, and easier to manufacture. As a Mechanical Engineer, you will be responsible for designing, analyzing, and validating mechanical systems and actuators for our deployable structures. These mechanisms are used in various applications from solar arrays to radiators. You will be entrusted to improve existing systems while also helping to shape and design the next generation.
Identify and analyze requirements, conduct trade studies on mechanism design options, and apply First Principles Engineering Analysis to optimize mechanisms and systems for satellites.
Create and iterate detailed CAD models, including mechanism architecture, material/lubrication selections, assembly processes, and test methods.
Conduct classical and FEA analysis for all...
