Mechanical Engineer (MGSE) Full Time

• Senior Mechanical Engineer – MGSE | Satellite Systems | Texas

We’re supporting a pioneering space company building a next-generation satellite network designed to connect standard mobile devices directly from orbit. As they scale, they’re looking for a Senior Mechanical Engineer to play a key role in designing and delivering Mechanical Ground Support Equipment (MGSE) for spacecraft integration and testing.

This is a hands-on, high-impact role where you’ll work across design, analysis, and test, helping bring complex satellite systems from concept through to launch readiness.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Leading mechanical design and modelling of MGSE and satellite subsystems
• Creating detailed design documentation including manufacturing drawings and interface control drawings
• Supporting AIT activities including fabrication, assembly, integration, and environmental testing (vibration, shock, TVAC, static load)
• Defining mechanical interfaces and ensuring system-level compatibility
• Driving engineering trade-offs and structural decisions to optimize performance and manufacturability
• Collaborating cross-functionally with engineering, manufacturing, and test teams

What You’ll Need

• 6+ years of experience in mechanical design for spacecraft or aerospace systems
• Strong background in CAD (Inventor preferred) and mechanical system design
• Experience supporting AIT and integration/testing environments
• Ability to produce high-quality engineering documentation and drawings
• Degree in Mechanical Engineering or similar

Nice To Have

• Experience with PDM/PLM systems
• Knowledge of FEM and structural analysis methods
• Background in large welded structures or ground support equipment
• Familiarity with GDIT
• Location: Texas (onsite, relocation support available)
• Type: Permanent
• Compensation: Competitive base + bonus + equity/options
