Mechanical Engineer

<p><strong>Why LeoLabs?</strong></p> <p>At LeoLabs, we’re building the living map of activity in space. Through our proprietary global radar network and AI-enabled analytics platform, we collect millions of measurements daily on more than 25,000 objects in low Earth orbit (LEO). Our radar-powered intelligence protects billions in assets, monitors adversarial behavior, and ensures safe operations for commercial and government missions.</p> <p>We’re not just building technology, we are redefining global security, safety, and transparency in space. As orbital activity accelerates and threats grow more complex, LeoLabs is a trusted partner for Space Domain Awareness, Space Traffic Management, and Satellite Operations for top-tier space operators and allied defense organizations.</p> <p>If you're looking to work on mission-critical challenges at the forefront of aerospace, national security, and AI, your impact starts here.</p> <p>At LeoLabs, the Hardware Engineering Team designs, develops, manufactures, and deploys the advanced radar systems which provide persistent orbital intelligence to our customers worldwide. <span data-contrast="auto">As a <strong>Mechanical Engineer</strong> on the Hardware Engineering team, you will support the design and development of radar hardware operating at UHF, S-Band, and additional frequency bands.</span><span data-contrast="auto"> This role demands cross-functional collaboration within a high-performing and fast-paced team. Occasional international travel may be required. This is an in-person role on site at our headquarters in Menlo Park, CA and will report to the Hardware Engineering Manager.</span><span data-ccp-props="{"201341983":0,"335551550":6,"335551620":6,"335559739":0,"335559740":276}"> </span></p> <p><span data-contrast="auto"><span data-ccp-props="{"201341983":0,"335559739":0,"335559740":276}"> </span></span></p> <p><span data-contrast="auto"><strong>Responsibilities</strong></span><span data-ccp-props="{"201341983":0,"335559739":0,"335559740":276}"> </span></p> <ul> <li><span data-contrast="auto">Contribute to the development of core mechanical structures and systems </span><span data-ccp-props="{"201341983":0,"335559739":0,"335559740":276}"> </span></li> <li><span data-contrast="auto">Mechanical design of components and subassemblies</span><span data-ccp-props="{"201341983":0,"335559739":0,"335559740":276}"> </span></li> <li><span data-contrast="auto">Close collaboration with electrical engineers and our construction team</span><span data-ccp-props="{"201341983":0,"335559739":0,"335559740":276}"> </span></li> <li><span data-contrast="auto">Structural, kinematic, and thermal analysis including simulation</span><span data-ccp-props="{"201341983":0,"335559739":0,"335559740":276}"> </span></li> <li><span data-contrast="auto">Support prototype builds, integration, and testing activities</span><span data-ccp-props="{"201341983":0,"335559739":0,"335559740":276}"> </span></li> </ul> <p><span data-contrast="auto"><span data-ccp-props="{"201341983":0,"335559739":0,"335559740":276}"> </span></span></p> <p><span data-contrast="auto"><strong>Basic Qualifications</strong></span><span data-ccp-props="{"201341983":0,"335559739":0,"335559740":276}"> </span></p> <ul> <li><span data-contrast="auto">BSME (or equivalent) with 3-5 years of relevant experience</span><span data-ccp-props="{"201341983":0,"335559739":0,"335559740":276}"> </span></li> <li><span data-contrast="auto">Proficiency in SolidWorks or equivalent MCAD software</span><span data-ccp-props="{"201341983":0,"335559739":0,"335559740":276}"> </span></li> <li><span data-contrast="auto">Working knowledge of machining and manufacturing processes</span><span data-ccp-props="{"201341983":0,"335559739":0,"335559740":276}"> </span></li> <li><span data-contrast="auto">Experience designing mechanical components, cables, and electronics enclosures</span><span data-ccp-props="{"201341983":0,"335559739":0,"335559740":276}"> </span></li> <li><span data- ...
