We are looking for a talented Mechanical Engineer to join our growing team in the US to develop advanced digital processor sub-systems for US-focused opportunities. The ideal candidate will have extensive experience in developing electro-mechanical packaging for space applications. 

What you will be doing 

• Drive mechanical design aspects for state-of-the-art space-based on-board processors, with strong ownership of structural integrity and robustness. 
• Lead structural design and analysis activities, including stress, vibration, and thermal-mechanical performance throughout the product lifecycle. 
• Develop and evaluate multiple early design concepts in fast-paced product development cycles, incorporating structural considerations from the outset. 
• Independently lead product design from concept through detailed design and provide support during Qualification and Production stages. 
• Own and execute structural validation efforts, including defining test plans (e.g., vibration, shock, thermal cycling) and correlating analysis with test results. 
• Partner with cross-functional teams to define hardware interfaces while ensuring appropriate load paths and mechanical margins and manufacturability. 
• Work closely with hardware, layout, and validation engineers to define mechanical and structural requirements, verification methods, and production processes. 
• Partner with system integration and validation teams to ensure mechanical and structural compliance at system level. 
• Work closely with spacecraft integrators to validate the design under mission environments and interface conditions. 

Requirements 

• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering or equivalent experience. 
• 7 years of experience in electro-mechanical product design, including designs for PCB/PCBAs. 
• Strong experience in structural analysis (e.g., FEA for stress, vibration, modal, and thermal analyses). 
• Proven ability to translate analysis results into design improvements and practical engineering decisions. 
• Hands-on experience with 3D CAD such as SolidWorks. 
• Experience developing fixtures for product assembly and testing. 
• High awareness for quality and manufacturability, including statistical tolerance analysis, and GD&T. 
• Experience supporting environmental testing (vibration, shock, thermal vacuum) and correlating with analytical models. 
• Strong problem-solving mindset with the ability to handle complexity, system-level interactions, and multidisciplinary trade-offs. 
• Experience working with on-board digital payloads and/or processors. 
• Experience working with customers across all program lifecycle stages, including institutional and government customers (e.g., ESA, NASA, USSF). 
• Ability to operate in a highly dynamic environment. 
• Ability to work concurrently across multiple teams and programs. 

Advantages 

• Master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering. 
• Experience with industry-standard FEA tools (e.g., ANSYS, Nastran, Abaqus). 
• Background in space or aerospace structural design and environmental qualification. 
• Experience with lightweighting techniques and design for launch load environments. 
• Familiarity with fracture mechanics, fatigue, bolt, and reliability analysis. 
• Experience with thermal-structural coupled analysis. 
• Knowledge of materials used in space applications (aluminum alloys, titanium, composites, etc.). 
• Experience designing for EMI/RFI considerations in mechanical enclosures. 
• Exposure to high-reliability or radiation-hardened electronics packaging. 
• Experience with design for additive manufacturing. 

Benefits 

• Competitive salary and benefits package. 
• Benefits at Ramon.Space include medical, dental, vision, PTO, holidays, FSAs, 401(k) match, short term and long-term disability, and parental leave. 
• Flexible hybrid working model with opportunities for remote work. The office is located in the Denver Tech Center. 
• Collaborative and innovative work environment. Opportunities for professional growth and development. 
• Be part of a pioneering team in the satellite communication industry. 
• Due to export regulations, U.S. citizenship or U.S. person status may be required. 

The salary range for this position is $115,000 to $165,000. Ramon.Space will consider relevant work experience, skills, education, and training when putting together an offer for this position.
