Space is a warfighting domain. True Anomaly seeks those with the talent and ambition to build the technology that secures it. OUR MISSION True Anomaly delivers decisive capabilities for space superiority.

S. and its Allies to secure the space environment and counter threats from the ultimate high ground. OUR VALUES Be the offset.

We create asymmetric advantages with creativity and ingenuity. What would it take? We challenge assumptions to deliver ambitious results.

It’s the people. Our team is our competitive advantage and we are better together. YOUR MISSION As a Mechanical Engineer (II-III) at True Anomaly, you will be at the forefront of designing and developing the next generation of spacecraft that define the future of space security and sustainability.

From LEO/GEO satellites to small sat platforms and on-orbit servicing vehicles, you will own the mechanical design of flight systems that operate in some of the most demanding environments known to engineering.

Requirements

S. and its allies.

Assist in the development of spacecraft structural systems from concept and trade studies through prototyping and flight hardware delivery, under the guidance of senior engineers.

Contribute to the design of spacecraft mechanisms and deployment systems, including hinges, hold-down and release mechanisms, and other moving assemblies intended for on-orbit operation. Assist in the packaging and integration of electronics assemblies and avionics hardware within the spacecraft structure, with consideration for thermal interfaces, harness routing, and accessibility during integration and test. Support propulsion system mechanical integration efforts, including structural mounting, thruster bracket design, and propellant line routing.

Develop and maintain detailed 3D CAD models and drawings for spacecraft components, subsystems, and assemblies using NX (Siemens) and/or SolidWorks. Create accurate piece part and assembly drawings with proper application of GD T standards. Support design reviews (PDR, CDR, TRR) by preparing technical documentation, design rationales, and interface control documents.

Assist in the development and execution of structural and mechanisms test plans to support hardware qualification and acceptance activities. Work within configuration management systems and PLM/MES tools to maintain design integrity and documentation traceability.

RESPONSIBILITIES

Support the design, analysis, and optimization of mechanical structures, mechanisms, and assemblies for LEO/GEO satellites, small sat platforms, and on-orbit servicing vehicles, ensuring designs meet performance, mass, and reliability

QUALIFICATIONS

Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related engineering discipline. 1–7 years of professional experience in mechanical design, preferably within aerospace, defense, or a related industry. Exposure to or coursework in spacecraft or satellite systems, including structural design, mechanisms, or space environment considerations.

Hands-on experience with 3D CAD modeling and drawing creation in NX (Siemens) and/or SolidWorks. Working knowledge of GD T principles and their application to piece part and assembly drawings. Familiarity with structural and mechanical design principles, including load paths, joints, and materials selection relevant to launch and on-orbit environments.

Exposure to mechanisms design, including hinges, deployment systems, actuators, or other moving assemblies.
