Description For Mechanical Engineer

True Anomaly is at the forefront of the new space race, focusing on space security and sustainability through innovative technology development. The company builds cutting-edge solutions combining spacecraft, software, and AI to enhance the capabilities of the U.S., its allies, and commercial partners.

As a Mechanical Engineer, you'll be instrumental in designing mechanical assemblies for flight systems and ground support mechanisms for spacecraft development. This role offers the unique opportunity to shape the future of space exploration by working on next-generation LEO/GEO vehicles.

The position requires a strong background in mechanical engineering with spacecraft experience, including design, analysis, and optimization of mechanical systems. You'll be working with cross-functional teams, developing 3D CAD models, creating detailed drawings, and supporting build/assembly and test campaigns.

The ideal candidate will have 4+ years of professional experience, with a Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering (Master's preferred). Experience with spacecraft mechanical architecture design and space mechanisms is crucial. The role offers competitive compensation ($105,000-$170,000 based on level) with comprehensive benefits including equity, health coverage, and 401K.

Working in a hybrid environment at the Gravity Works facility, you'll be part of a dynamic team that values creativity, innovation, and collaborative problem-solving. This is an exceptional opportunity for someone passionate about space technology and eager to contribute to space security and sustainability initiatives.
