Job description

Your Mission

The Mechanical Engineer, Space Robotics owns the end-to-end development of assigned mechanical hardware for robotic spacecraft systems, including robotic arms mounted to satellite buses, satellite bus structures, solar array mechanisms, battery system enclosures, avionics packaging, mounting structures, fixtures, and ground support equipment. This role is not limited to desk-based design. It spans concept design, CAD, drawings, prototyping, fabrication support, hands-on assembly, integration, verification testing, failure investigation, and early-stage manufacturing support. The engineer applies established design guidelines and best practices, then feeds lessons from real builds and tests back into GITAI's mechanical design standards to accelerate development cycles.

What You'll Drive

  • Design and iterate mechanical hardware across robotic, spacecraft, satellite, and propulsion systems, optimizing for performance, reliability, and testability.
  • Work closely with electrical and software engineers to define requirements, interfaces, and assembly configurations that are practical to build and integrate.
  • Assemble, integrate, and maintain prototypes and early builds, and feed insights back into the design to improve buildability and serviceability.
  • Plan and execute testing, including operational verification as well as reliability and quality testing, and use results to drive design improvements.

What We're Looking For

  • Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering or a closely related discipline.
  • 1+ years of relevant experience designing, analyzing, and supporting the manufacturing of electro-mechanical systems or mechanisms. Internship, research, and extracurricular project experience counts.
  • Proficiency with mechanical CAD.
  • Experience creating mechanical drawings and maintaining drawing packages.
  • Hands-on ability with mechanical assembly, integration, and testing.
  • Must be able to safely lift and move items up to 40 pounds (with or without reasonable accommodation), including during assembly and test activities.
  • Flexibility to work weekends as needed based on build and test schedules.
  • Willingness to spend up to 50% of work time outside of Torrance at test sites (including Mojave and the greater Los Angeles area). Travel may increase for short periods during critical integration and test campaigns.
  • Must be a U.S. citizen, as this role may require eligibility to obtain and maintain a U.S. government security clearance in the future.

Location & Employment Details

  • Location: Torrance, CA (onsite). Travel to test sites (including Mojave and the greater Los Angeles area) is expected based on program needs.
  • Employment Type: Full-Time, Exempt
  • Salary Range: $100,000 - $125,000 per year + equity (commensurate with experience)
  • Typical Work Hours: Monday to Friday, approximately 9:00am - 6:00pm (onsite). Flexibility is expected based on mission schedules and program needs.

Benefits

  • Health Insurance - Platinum medical plan with 100% company-paid medical, dental, and vision coverage for employees; 90% for dependents
  • 401(k) Plan - Company match up to 3.5%, with traditional and Roth options
  • Equity - Stock option eligibility depending on role
  • Relocation Support - Available for qualifying positions
  • Time Off - 11 paid holidays per year, 12 days of paid vacation per year, and paid sick leave (in accordance with applicable law)
  • Office Perks - Free snacks and drinks, plus regular team events
  • Mission-Driven Culture - Work alongside passionate teammates on real space hardware
  • Cutting-Edge Work - Direct access to next-gen space robotics and flight hardware
