About the role

We are looking for a Mid to Senior Level Spacecraft Structures Engineer to own the design, analysis, and packaging of satellite bus and tile primary structure, including the hardware mounted to it, taking flight structures from concept through qualification, production, and on-orbit operation. You will own structural design, component enclosures and mounting, thermal conduction paths, detailed layout, and the structural and thermal analysis that supports them. 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 structural and mechanical design experience
  • Demonstrated experience designing spaceflight hardware that has flown
  • Experience owning a flight structure or subsystem from concept through qualification test
  • Experience mounting components to primary structure, including responsibility for the dynamic environment of the mounted hardware
  • Thermal-mechanical design experience, including conduction path design, doublers, heat pipe integration, thermal interface materials, and CTE-driven failure modes

Golden, CO (Denver Metro) | On-Site | Full-Time

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.
