Seeking a well-motivated senior level Mechanical engineers experienced with the mechanical aspects of large and medium sized satellite earth station antenna systems. The selected candidates will have to be able to demonstrate a track record of involvement with antenna design of all sizes including limited and full motion designs for use in tough environments. Familiarity with industry standards and practices is essential as is some knowledge of environmental factors as they affect antenna structures. Familiarity with some of the standard software is essential, including Solid -Works. An understanding of manufacturing and fabrication methods would be very useful.   

The company’s new products under development are technically leading this industry and some of the target programs are the most exciting applications industry. These include the DSN array, radio-telescopes and conventional high accuracy tracking communications systems.  These programs need larger earth station antennas and systems using precision engineered mechanical structures and electro-mechanical systems for movement and control. Any experience with the electrical control systems of larger antennas would be an advantage.

Skills Required:   BSME or BSCE. 3D design using Solidworks or equivalent. FEA analysis of structures and mechanical systems.  Minimum 5 years experience.  

Skills Preferred:   

B.Sc. or equivalent professional Mechanical Engineering qualifications. 

The ability to work as part of a small team and produce accurate and innovative ideas and designs. 

Experience with FEA and other structural design techniques. 

A strong industrial based, “hands on” background will also be very useful for these important positions.

Experience with some MIL Std and specs would also be useful.

Experience in interfacing with customers would be a plus.
