Avionics Mechanical Engineer II

As an Avionics Mechanical Engineer for Terran R, you will own the design, analysis, development, and delivery of electro mechanical systems supporting Terran R Avionics. This includes enclosures, electrical interfaces, thermal accommodations, and interfaces to launch vehicle systems. You will be responsible for ensuring the delivered Avionics can survive launch and space environments, and for solving complex thermal and structural challenges in tight, mass-efficient packaging. This is a hands-on role for a self-driven engineer who thrives in a fast-paced environment. You’ll work from first principles to iterate on designs, perform analysis and testing, and help drive the delivery of flight-ready avionics systems. About You
