Sr Mechanical Configuration Design Engineer

Please review the job details below.
Maxar Space is seeking a Sr. Mechanical Configuration Design Engineer for our offices in Palo Alto, CA. This position may also be performed remotely within the U.S. The Mechanical Configuration organization is responsible for the spacecraft-level layout design. This top-level design of the spacecraft requires accommodating all the subsystems compatibly during all phases of the spacecraft mission. Our team converts the Systems Engineering book form specifications and block diagrams into 3D designs used to build the spacecraft on the assembly floor. We optimize layouts for system performance and other factors such as accessibility for assembly and test, optimal payload performance, mass properties, etc. The team documents the interfaces between major subsystems (for example: structures, antenna, and mechanisms) to ensure proper fit and alignments when the hardware comes to spacecraft integration. We are always looking forward to develop new ways to make Maxar's satellites more competitive. The engineering support for a program starts as early as the proposal phase, and continues through preparations for launch. The designs produced vary in complexity from component support bracketry to the spacecraft top assembly documentation.
Minimum requirements for this position:

• Must be a U.S. citizen or permanent resident
• Bachelor's degree in an engineering discipline (mechanical, aerospace, etc) or related field
• 5 years of relevant experience
• Understanding and proficiency in the use of 3D computer aided design tools (such as CREO)

These skills would be amazing:

• Strong verbal and written communication, organization, and leadership skills.
• Ability to learn quickly and multi-task in a dynamic and fast-paced work environment
• Familiarity with Teamcenter.
• Experience with mechanical design for the spacecraft layouts that include the propulsion layout, external configurations, and internal component layouts.
• Understanding of how various propulsion and RF components work.
• Have experience facilitating design reviews, presenting technical ideas, and design status.
• Ability to manage schedules for design projects.
• Enjoying working with cross functional teams.
