About the Role

At Beyond Reach Labs, we are designing and building the largest deployable structures ever flown to space. As a Mechanical Engineer, you will be responsible for designing, analyzing, and validating mechanical systems and actuators for our deployable structures, improving existing systems and shaping the next generation.

Responsibilities

• Identify and analyze requirements, conduct trade studies on mechanism design options, and apply First Principles Engineering Analysis to optimize mechanisms and systems for satellites.
• Create and iterate detailed CAD models, including mechanism architecture, material/lubrication selections, assembly processes, and test methods.
• Conduct classical and FEA analysis for all load conditions (static, dynamic, thermal, fatigue) to ensure adequate margins and reliability.
• Develop and execute comprehensive test plans throughout development.
• Define qualification plans and identify acceptance testing methods.
• Produce complete design packages, including detailed drawings, analysis reports, BOMs, and assembly documentation.
• Facilitate cost trades on multiple parallel configurations to balance cost, manufacturability, and design risk.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams and customers to ensure smooth integration with the spacecraft.

Requirements

• Working towards a Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or a related field.
• 6+ months of experience outside the classroom (Project Teams, Research, Internships).
• Experience designing and qualifying mechanisms driven by stepper or BLDC motors, springs, and HDRMs.
• Proficient in developing design models and drawings for production and analysis using CAD software.
• Project management experience for technical projects.
• Expertise in materials selection for space applications.
• Experience working with very large lightweight deployable structures.
• Minimum 12 weeks on-site.
• Willingness to work extended hours and weekends as necessary to support critical project milestones.
• Must be a U.S. citizen, lawful permanent resident, or eligible for authorization under U.S. export regulations.
