The Senior Mechanical Design Engineer role at Space Kinetic focuses on developing proprietary electromechanical deployment systems for national security and space superiority missions. The position involves designing complex space-rated mechanisms, including release systems and precision actuators, while performing tolerance analysis and kinematic studies. Key responsibilities include creating 3D CAD models, supporting finite element analysis, leading prototype testing such as thermal vacuum and vibration trials, and collaborating with cross-functional teams on manufacturing and integration. This opportunity appeals to engineers seeking to contribute to a high-impact startup environment with a clear mission to secure the space domain. The role offers hands-on involvement in flight demo development, a collaborative culture, and requires onsite work in El Segundo, California, with occasional domestic travel.
