Satellites, evolved. Backed by Techstars.
About the role
Samara Aerospace is looking for a Senior Lab Technician to join our team as we build our first Hummingbird satellite technology demonstrator. As a growing startup, there are opportunities to lead the organization and layout of the development lab, support PCB rework, harness builds, CNC fabrication, hardware assembly, and environmental testing. You'll work alongside engineers across mechanical and electrical disciplines while contributing directly to hardware that will fly in space.
What they're looking for
- 3+ years of hands-on experience in a hardware lab, production, or integration environment
- Demonstrated proficiency in some combination of electrical rework, PCB/cable/connector soldering, mechanical assembly, or systems integration
- Demonstrated proficiency in the use of hand tools and power tools
- Experience following and executing formal assembly or test procedures
- Strong organizational skills. You take initiative to keep your workspace and team organized without being asked
- Comfortable taking ownership of a space and a process, not just a task list
More about this role
Senior Engineering Technician
Samara Aerospace is revolutionizing satellite design by addressing the challenges of deploying and managing large satellite constellations. Our innovative Hummingbird spacecraft bus offers a modular and scalable platform that streamlines satellite production and deployment, significantly reducing launch costs. Hummingbird's compact architecture maximizes launch capacity, making it the most efficient and agile spacecraft in the industry. At the core of our technology is the patented Multifunctional Structures for Attitude Control (MSAC) system. Unlike traditional wheel-based pointing control systems, MSAC utilizes actuators embedded in the hinges of deployable solar panels to provide 3-axis attitude control and active jitter cancellation. This design eliminates the need for spinning wheels, reducing mass and potential points of failure, while enhancing pointing precision.
