Position Summary: The role focuses on root cause analysis, engineering design, and manufacturing. Whether you're working on highly iterative mechanisms that move or tight-margin structures that shouldn’t, you’ll get hands-on hardware ownership and see the rocket coming to life on the factory floor. Responsibilities: Support the design, analysis, and testing of electromechanical actuators (EMAs) and pneumatic actuator systems for aerospace applications. Assist in creating CAD models, drawings, and documentation for actuator components and subassemblies, ensuring compliance with engineering standards. Perform preliminary hand calculations and simulation support for actuator performance, loads, and kinematics. Participate in hardware build and test activities, including setup, data collection, and post-test analysis. Contribute to troubleshooting and root cause analysis for actuator performance or integration issues. Collaborate with cross-functional engineering teams (mechanical, electrical, and test) to deliver reliable mechanism solutions. Design and develop piece parts, assemblies, and systems from early conceptualization up through full initial release – working with large machined metallic components, sheet metal, composites, formed panels, and more Integrate critical design for manufacturing choices in direct coordination with the manufacturing engineering team Perform packaging assessment of systems – resolve interferences, perform tolerance stack analyses, validate hardware stacks and fastener selections, integrate nominal gapping and shimming strategies, and more Support BOM and configuration management of various systems across multiple vehicles Create and release drawings as part of system release sprints post-CDR, including incorporating GD&T as primary definition Required Qualifications: Current undergraduate or graduate student pursuing a degree in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or a related technical discipline Hands-on experience with mechanical design, prototyping, or analysis of structural or mechanism components Familiarity with CAD tools (NX, SolidWorks, or similar) and exposure to FEA or engineering coding languages like Python or MATLAB Strong interest in aerospace hardware such as actuators, linkages, latches, or deployable structures Collaborative team member who thrives in fast-paced, multidisciplinary environments and is eager to learn Experience working on an engineering team/project designing and building hardware 1-2 years established CAD experience (SolidWorks, NX, CATIA, Fusion 360, etc.) Demonstrates fundamental engineering principles and integrating them into design decisions Able to work in large assemblies and navigate/manage large BOM's Excitement to work on rockets and be onsite with real-world hardware Preferred Qualifications: Familiarity with CAD tools (NX) and basic drafting practices. Experience with basic programming or scripting (e.g., Python, MATLAB) for data analysis or automation. Exposure to finite element analysis (FEA) or other simulation tools for structural or thermal modeling. Hands-on experience with prototyping, machining, or test lab equipment. Experience on a rocket team 1+ years experience with NX/Teamcenter PLM 1+ years experience with GD&T and drafting Compensation: The compensation for this role is $34–42 per hour.
