Senior Mechanical Engineer

Role Overview

Ready to make connectivity from space universally accessible, secure and actionable? Then you’ve come to the right place! E-Space is bridging Earth and space to enable hyper-scaled deployments of Internet of Things (IoT) solutions and services. We are building a highly-advanced low Earth orbit (LEO) space system that will fundamentally change the design, economics, manufacturing and service delivery associated with traditional satellite and terrestrial IoT systems.

We’re intentional, we’re unapologetically curious and we’re 100% committed to innovating space-based communications and delivering actionable intelligence that will expand global economies, protect space and our planet and enhance our overall quality of life.

As a Mechanical Engineer at E-Space you will design and manufacture satellite structures and mechanisms. We are big on hardware ownership, so you will not only be a critical part of the engineering design effort, but you will also have critical involvement throughout the satellite build.

This position will report to the VP, Satellite Platform and will work closely with the broader engineering team. The role is based in our Saratoga, CA office.

• Work closely with the satellite sub-system teams to design satellite structures and mechanisms
• Be a CAD modeling expert using Solid Works to manage CAD assemblies and drawings
• Develop build documents and drawings for your hardware
• Define, build and test your designs from 3D printed engineering units to flight hardware
• Support the fabrication, assembly and testing of our flight build

• 6 to 8 years of hands‑on experience using CAD skills to develop and build models and drawings
• Successfully implemented design solutions in a complex environment
• Experience with mechanical design that survives extreme environments and meets challenging mass constraints
• Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Mechanical, Aerospace or equivalent real‑world design and build experience
• Experience working on complex satellite/space systems

We are redefining how satellites are designed, manufactured and used—so we’re looking for candidates with passion, deep knowledge and direct experience on LEO satellite component development, design and in‑orbit activities. If that’s your experience, then we’ll be immediately wowed.

The Company is not currently able to provide employment sponsorship for candidates who do not hold work authorization for the location of this role.

• Opportunity to really make a difference
• Sustainability at our core
• Fair and honest workplace
• Innovative thinking is encouraged
• Competitive salaries
• Continuous learning and development
• Health and wellness care options
• Financial solutions for the future
• Optional legal services (US only)
• Paid holidays

In return, we offer a dynamic work environment with opportunities for professional growth and development and the chance to make a meaningful impact in a high-growth industry. This may include extra hours, nights and weekends, to meet critical deadlines and mission goals.
