Cascade Space | Senior Mechanical Engineer | San Francisco, CA (ONSITE) | Full-time | $150k - $190k + equity
Cascade Space is building ground-based infrastructure to support missions to the moon and beyond. Instead of single large dishes, we're building arrays of dishes combined with a digital beamformer into one large aperture — comparable to a NASA Deep Space Network 34m dish. We raised our seed round last year and this is our first mechanical engineering hire.
You'll own mechanical integration of vendor dish systems with our in-house RF hardware (feeds, LNAs, amplifiers): packaging for ultra-low-noise electronics that has to survive outdoor conditions, alignment/tolerance strategy, and structural/environmental testing. When it's time to stand up our first array, you'll be on-site for deployment and commissioning. Full arc from CAD to field install.
Looking for 4+ years designing and deploying complex hardware systems, experience integrating electronics into outdoor/exposed environments, thermal management of sensitive electronics, precision mechanical assemblies, and owning vendor/fab-shop relationships. RF/antenna experience is a bonus, not required.
Note: US Persons only (ITAR/EAR — some customer datasets are restricted).
Cascade Space (YC P25) | San Francisco, CA - ONSITE | Full-time | Senior Mechanical Engineer | $150k - $190k base salary + equity | https://cascadespace.com/careers/mech-e/
Cascade Space is building ground-based physical infrastructure and software tools to support customer spacecraft exploring the moon and beyond. We're hiring our first Mechanical Engineer to design and integrate RF hardware packaging for our satellite dish arrays. You'll own everything from mechanical and thermal engineering through on-site deployment. Great fit for someone who's as handy with a wrench as they are a keyboard.
Orion Labs is dedicated to connecting people, groups, and services though seamless voice communication. Through our push-to-talk wearable and voice platform, we deliver a heads-up and eyes-free experience that enables people to communicate more efficiently without losing focus, and to do their best work.
Our users depend on companion apps for connecting wearable hardware to the Internet, creating and switching groups, managing contacts, finding the location of their teammates, and more.
We're looking for teammates who enjoy building, refactoring, and testing mobile software, and take pride in their work. You should care passionately about intuitive user interface design.
Java should be your bread and butter, and Android Studio your playground. We use Dagger to provide dependency injection, and RxJava to support reactive programming patterns. Our mobile applications use Bluetooth LE (GATT protocol) to talk to our wearable product, and RESTful APIs to talk to our service backend. We aim to iterate quickly, delivering app updates to our users every couple of weeks or so.
Orion is dedicated to building a diverse and inclusive team with a wide range of backgrounds and experiences. This means not only striving to hire a diverse set of humans, but providing them with support, mentorship, and opportunities to grow. We firmly believe that hiring and supporting a diverse team is valuable endeavor in itself, but also allows us to do our best work and make better products.
