Changing how we build in space. Backed by MaC Venture Capital.
About the role
We are looking for a Mid to Senior Level Spacecraft Mechanisms Engineer to own the design, analysis, and testing of satellite launch restraint and release systems, tile deployment from the stowed stack, and the load path from that stack into the bus, taking flight hardware from concept through qualification, production, and on-orbit operation. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.
What they're looking for
- Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical or Aerospace Engineering or a related field, advanced degree is a plus
- 4+ years of spacecraft or satellite mechanism design experience
- Demonstrated experience designing spaceflight hardware that has flown, including at least one deployment, launch restraint, or release mechanism
- Preloaded joint design experience, including torque and preload relationships, preload retention, and margin against a recognized standard such as NASA-STD-5020
- Hands-on deployment, vibration, and shock testing experience
- Proficiency with structural finite element analysis (FEA) for modal, quasi-static, and random vibration analysis of stowed and deployed configurations

Today, everything we send to space is constrained by what fits inside a rocket fairing. That’s a fundamental bottleneck to building more capable spacecraft. Rendezvous Robotics is solving this problem with electromagnetic self-assembling tiles that enable spacecraft that are bigger and more powerful than anything that can be folded to fit into a rocket. We’re a small team based in Golden, Colorado, executing on a clear path from flight demonstration to our first operational systems. Our work spans hardware, software, and systems engineering, and we’re always looking for people who want to build things that matter.

You will own preloaded joint design, release device selection and integration, deployment and separation behavior, the interface to the launch vehicle separation system, and the...
