About the role
- Manages and maintains the mechanical integration of the spacecraft bus, mission payload and communications payload according to internal and external ICDs
- Generation and coordination of mechanical design specifications and interface (internal and external) documents including requirements derivation, allocation, and flow up/down, and V&V activities
- Extracts mechanical and environmental requirements from mission-level and CONOPs, and cascades them to the spacecraft bus, mission payload, and communications payload, encompassing allocations into software, firmware, and hardware, as well as test beds and simulators.
- Ensures mechanical functional and physical allocations, changes and requirements compliance are being addressed throughout the SV design.
- Coordinates and/or completes mechanical integration activities such as mass properties management, propulsion and mass budgets, critical clearances, structural, thermal, Field of View, slosh, and coupled loads analyses and test, mechanical ground support equipment (MGSE) integration, cable harness routing, and configuration control.
- Supports the SEIT organization in planning the mechanical integration testing of HW/SW from the subsystem level to the SV level, including execution of SV level tests and troubleshooting issues
- Maintains cognizance and communicates changes of the SV subcontractor and in-house mechanical design baselines, pinouts, size and weight, and interfaces
- Support to the system modeling teams in generation of Cameo system views and simulations as well as ConOps generation.
- Works closely with Software, Mechanical, and Integration and Test Systems Engineers to own and oversees End-to-End integration of spacecraft bus, mission payload, and communications payload across the full program lifecycle.
- Represent Space Vehicle mechanical engineering during major system level design reviews such as SRR, SDR, PDR and CDR and milestone reviews such as MRR, TRR, PSF, LRR and MDR
- Leads or participates in failure review boards, engineering review boards, change control boards to ensure mechanical impacts are coordinated across the SV
- Ability to lead diverse technical teams across internal and subcontractor efforts
Requirements
- Bachelor’s Degree in Mechanical Engineering, Systems Engineering, or adjacent field
- minimum 9 years of prior relevant experience, or 7 years with Graduate Degree, or 13 years in lieu of a degree
- Active TS/SCI security clearance
- Experience with mechanical integration of spacecraft busses, mission payloads, and communications payloads for seamless end-to-end mission performance
- Experience with leading both internal and external supplier mechanical engineering teams.
- Experience with mechanical integration, testing, and troubleshooting of complex systems.
