They say the best deployable is no deployable, but we believe large deployable mechanisms are the future for large infrastructure in space.
At Beyond Reach Labs, we are designing and building the largest deployable structures ever flown to space. As an engineering-driven organization, you will be at the forefront of the company's key technology development.
As a Build Engineer, you will turn designs into hardware: from early R&D test articles, through full-scale prototypes, to qualification units and first flight deployables. You will work hands-on in the lab and alongside design, analysis and test engineers, owning how our hardware is built, integrated and verified.
**Key Responsibilities:**
- Prototype
- Research & Development
- Qualification
**Basic Qualification:**
- Bachelor's degree in mechanical, aerospace or manufacturing engineering, or a related field, or equivalent hands-on experience.
- 1+ years of experience building, integrating or testing mechanical or electromechanical hardware.
- Hands-on skill with hand and power tools, precision measurement and mechanical assembly.
- Ability to read and interpret engineering drawings, including GD&T.
- Working knowledge of CAD (for example SolidWorks, NX or Onshape).
**Preferred qualifications:**
- 2+ years of experience building, integrating or testing mechanical or electromechanical hardware.
- Experience building spacecraft or launch vehicle hardware, ideally deployable mechanisms such as booms, antennas, solar arrays or hinges.
- Experience taking hardware through qualification or acceptance testing (vibration, thermal vacuum, shock).
- Experience with composites layup, adhesive bonding or other lightweight structure fabrication.
- Machining, 3D printing or other rapid prototyping skills
- Experience designing tooling and ground support equipment for large assemblies.
## **Additional Requirements:**
- Willingness to work extended hours and weekends as necessary to support critical project milestones.
- Must be a U.S. citizen, lawful permanent resident, or eligible for authorization under U.S. export regulations.
Visa sponsorship is not available for this role.
