Elveo brings together a combined 20 years of expertise to close the coverage gap for more than 50 mobile network operators (MNOs) and major distribution partners operating in 60+ countries worldwide.\nThat heritage and our technology powers what we call ‘elevated intelligence’ - a new approach that processes and adapts on orbit, delivering voice and data services straight to mobile users, IoT devices and machines across enterprise, government and humanitarian sectors worldwide.\nAs a team, we’re on a mission to deliver powerful compute and connectivity directly to individuals and objects everywhere on Earth.\nJoin us, and become part of a globally inclusive company that is transforming satellite communications from a niche service to an essential global infrastructure, and democratizing connectivity for billions worldwide.\nReady to take the next step? Join us.\nJob Summary\nAs a Mechanical Engineer at Elveo, you will be responsible for the analysis, design, build, and enhancement of the mechanical systems associated with our satellite communications payloads, satellites, testbeds, testing equipment, etc. Previous satellite design experience is required to be considered for this role. Some work products will include mechanical models of space and ground systems in CAD software, such as SolidWorks, and thermal analysis, structural analysis, vibration analysis, and finite element analysis to support critical system trades. In addition to design, you will also be responsible for integration and testing support of critical hardware systems such as satellite mechanical, structural, and electrical subsystems. While mechanically focused, your role will involve working closely with the Electrical, RF, Software, and Systems teams at the company.\nIf you enjoy the challenge of wearing many hats and have a track record of creative thinking to solve unconventional problems, then we look forward to meeting you!\nCore Responsibilities\nBecause Elveo is a small company, the Mechanical Engineer will be involved in Mechanical and Thermal engineering work.\nLeading design and modeling of satellite and payload hardware, also some equipment for use on the ground and in the lab, using SolidWorks.\n\nDeveloping materials and structural such as, vibration, and analyses of space hardware.\n\nPerforming thermal analyses of components and the entire system in all operational modes.\n\nInterface with systems, harness, software, and electrical RF engineering teams to inform satellite and payload mechanical design and layout. Contact: \n\nSupport satellite and payload integration, testing, delivery to launch, and satellite bus partners and vendors.\n\nDesigning and planning mechanical testing configurations on the ground when testing payload communications performance both in-lab and in-orbit. This has more mechanical aspects than you might think.\n\nMechatronics work including testing, integration, assembly, and prototyping of electronic and mechanical hardware.\n\nSupport the development and maintenance of technical documentation for payload and satellite design and development.\n\nMust be good with computers. Fluent in Windows; Proficient with Microsoft Office - Excel, Project, PowerPoint, Word.\n\nBasic Qualifications\nA Bachelor’s degree or higher in Mechanical Engineering.\n\n3 to 6 years of experience working on projects doing design, integration, or test of space hardware.\n\nExperience with GD&T and tolerance analysis.\n\nExperienced and highly proficient in 3D CAD software, ideally SolidWorks\n\nMust be good with computers. Fluent in Windows; Proficient with Microsoft Office - Excel, Project, PowerPoint, Word.\n\nPreferred Qualifications\nExperience managing large CAD assembly models and drawings\n\nExperience with manufacturing and fabrication methods and tools. Machine shop experience is highly desired.\n\nHands-on experience with integrating hardware and electronics or full satellites\n\nExperience performing thermal, modal, random vibration, or structural finite element and hand calc analyses of individual components and integrated systems with tools such as Femap, NASTRAN, Ansys, or Thermal Desktop etc.\n\nExperience with MATLAB, Python, or other programming languages\n\nITAR Requirements\nTo comply with U.S. Government export control regulations (ITAR), applicants must be one of the following: (i) a U.S. citizen or national, (ii) a lawful permanent resident (green card holder), (iii) a refugee under 8 U.S.C. § 1157, or (iv) an asylee under 8 U.S.C. § 1158.
