Are you passionate about shaping the future of humanity's presence in space? Lunar Outpost, an industry leader in space robotics and planetary vehicles, invites you to join our team! Lunar Outpost is dedicated to creating a permanent presence in space, while also driving positive impacts here on Earth. Currently, we are seeking a Mechanical Engineer - Prototyping/Rapid Design to contribute to our mission in a dynamic startup environment.

Take the #NextLeap with Lunar Outpost and work on the Pegasus LTV, which will carry NASA astronauts farther than they've ever been before on the lunar surface!

Key Responsibilities:

Design parts and assemblies – including vehicle structures, electronics packaging, mechanisms and deployables – applying best practices in CAD for parts and assemblies to ensure robustness and reliability in complex designs.
Perform basic loads and stress analysis (FEA and hand-calcs) to optimize parts for weight savings, and to demonstrate designed parts and assemblies will survive anticipated loads.
Participate in selection of materials, hardware, actuators, sensors, etc.
Inspect and assemble hardware of various types.
Participate in rapid prototyping efforts and test events to validate concepts quickly and cost-effectively.
Ensure mechanical designs comply with applicable NASA standards (mechanisms approaches, structural margin, tolerance stackup, etc.).
Prepare mechanical engineering products for milestone and safety reviews.
Collaborate with a team of engineers in an fast-paced environment, managing time allocations across multiple projects and ensure adherence to timelines, budgets, and quality standards.
Develop manufacturing plans for parts using a range of processes, including CNC milling, 3D printing, welding, turning, sheet metal bending, and water-jetting/laser-cutting.
