    Master's degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related field
    Experience designing spacecraft subsystems
    Experience in using advanced stress and thermal modeling software (e.g., MSC NASTRAN, FEMAP)
    Experience working with interdisciplinary teams to solve complex problems in reliability and failure analysis
    Familiarity with composite materials, spacecraft structures, and surface treatments for mechanical components
    Familiarity with meeting aggressive spacecraft sensor and payload pointing requirements while reducing mass to the absolute minimum amount possible

    ITAR Requirements:
    To conform to U.S. Government space technology export regulations, including the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) you must be a U.S. citizen, lawful permanent resident of the U.S., protected individual as defined by 8 U.S.C. 1324b(a)(3), or eligible to obtain the required authorizations from the U.S. Department of State.
