True Anomaly is seeking a Mechanisms Engineer II to join the Mechanisms team, reporting to the Mechanisms Engineering Manager. You will be a key contributor to the design, development, build, and test of precision motor-driven actuation systems for orbital platforms. Working across the full hardware development lifecycle—from concept and CAD design through analysis, fabrication support, integration, and test—you will develop your skills in a fast-paced environment where your work directly impacts spaceflight hardware.
Responsibilities include:
- Design and develop precision mechanical components and assemblies for spacecraft actuation systems using CAD tools
- Perform mechanical analysis including stress, fatigue, tolerance stack-up, and kinematic analysis to validate designs
- Support the selection and integration of motors, bearings, gears, and other drivetrain components into mechanism assemblies
- Generate engineering drawings, BOMs, and fabrication documentation to support manufacturing and procurement
- Support mechanism assembly, integration, and test activities including functional testing, environmental test campaigns, and troubleshooting
- Collaborate with motor control, avionics, and systems engineering teams to ensure mechanism designs meet system-level interface and performance requirements
- Assist with trade studies and design reviews, contributing analysis and design documentation
- Develop and maintain design documentation including specifications, test plans, and analysis reports
- Support continuous improvement of mechanisms engineering processes and practices
True Anomaly delivers decisive capabilities for space superiority, building autonomous spacecraft, advanced payloads, mission software, and space-based interceptors to enable the U.S. and its Allies to secure the space environment and counter threats. The company values creativity, challenging assumptions, and teamwork.
Work Location: Successful candidates will be located near Centennial, CO or Long Beach, CA. The company observes a hybrid work environment, though some work must be done on-site.
