Electromechanical Engineer at Overview Energy

Electromechanical EngineerOverview Energy is turning uninterrupted sunlight in space into directable energy on Earth. From our homebase in Virginia were building satellites that will deliver energy from orbit to the grid and make solar a reliable 24/7 resource. The RoleThe Electromechanical Engineer will design and develop integrated electromechanical systems for spacecraft assembly deployment and on-orbit operations. This role emphasizes the design and integration of mechanical structures with electrical components sensors actuators motors and control systems to create precision mechanisms that perform complex autonomous tasks in space environments.Key Responsibilities:Design and develop electromechanical systems and precision mechanisms for spacecraft assembly integration and on-orbit operationsCreate integrated designs combining mechanical structures with electrical components including motors actuators sensors and embedded control electronicsDevelop and specify sensor integration motion control systems and actuator assemblies for space-qualified electromechanical applicationsPerform stress analysis thermal analysis and design calculations to optimize electromechanical system performance reliability and mass efficiency for space environmentsConduct testing and validation of electromechanical systems to confirm proper operation and safety under simulated space conditions using test instruments and diagnostic equipmentDevelop control strategies and feedback control loops to regulate electromechanical system behavior and ensure precise coordinated operationDesign deployment mechanisms positioning systems and payload handling electromechanical assemblies for spacecraft applicationsBuild prototypes and fabricate electromechanical assemblies using computer-aided manufacturing and precision machining techniquesTroubleshoot electromechanical systems diagnose mechanical and electrical failures replace faulty components and implement modificationsSelect and specify motors actuators sensors controllers and electromechanical components for space applicationsEnsure designs meet safety regulations industry standards and space environment constraints including thermal vacuum and radiation requirementsRequired Qualifications and Experience:Bachelors degree in Electromechanical Engineering Mechanical Engineering Electrical Engineering Aerospace Engineering or related technical field; Masters degree preferredMinimum 5 years of hands-on experience in electromechanical systems engineering preferably in aerospace or space applicationsProficiency in CAD software such as NX SolidWorks or similar tools for designing mechanical structures and electrical integrationStrong understanding of sensors actuators motors motor controllers and embedded control electronicsExperience with motion control systems precision mechanisms and electromechanical component integrationKnowledge of control system design feedback loops and electromechanical system dynamicsUnderstanding of space environment constraints including thermal structural and electrical design considerationsExperience with testing instrumentation data acquisition systems and validation methodologies for electromechanical assembliesProficiency with circuit design wiring schematics and electrical-mechanical interface specificationsU.S. citizenship required.Benefits:The health and safety of our employees and their families comes addition to competitive salary and equity we offer medical dental vision disability and life insurance coverage a health and wellness stipend 6 weeks of paid time off parental leave and employer 401K matching.
