Senior Mechanical Engineer - Space Payloads
Join ORiS and help build the future of energy in space.
At ORiS, we are building the technologies that will power the next generation of space missions. Through laser-based wireless power transmission, we aim to overcome the energy limitations of today’s satellites and enable longer, more capable, and more resilient operations in orbit.
As a Senior Mechanical Engineer, you will contribute to the development of mechanical hardware for ORiS’ laser-based Wireless Power Transmission space payloads, supporting technologies such as high-power laser sources, precision pointing and integrated thermal management.
Working closely with the Lead Mechanical Engineer and a multidisciplinary team, you will take technical ownership of assigned flight hardware from design and structural analysis through manufacturing, integration and environmental testing.
This is a hands-on role for an engineer with strong experience in space hardware mechanical design, structural analysis and flight hardware development.
What You Will Do
- Design and develop payload structures, assemblies and mechanical interfaces from concept through qualification.
- Perform and review structural analyses including static, modal, sine and random vibration, using hand calculations and FEA.
- Develop and release flight hardware using 3D CAD, engineering drawings, GD&T; and tolerance analysis, managing design data, BOMs and revisions through PDM/PLM systems.
- Implement and maintain mechanical requirements and interfaces for assigned hardware, working with Systems, Thermal, Optical and Electronics teams.
- Plan and execute mechanical environmental test and AIT activities, including vibration testing, support thermal-vacuum campaigns, and correlate analytical models with test results.
- Support mechanical design reviews and provide technical mentorship to junior engineers.
- Maintain engineering documentation, configuration and
