Cascade Space | Senior Mechanical Engineer | San Francisco, CA (ONSITE) | Full-time | $150k - $190k + equity Cascade Space is building ground-based infrastructure to support missions to the moon and beyond. Instead of single large dishes, we're building arrays of dishes combined with a digital beamformer into one large aperture — comparable to a NASA Deep Space Network 34m dish. We raised our seed round last year and this is our first mechanical engineering hire. You'll own mechanical integration of vendor dish systems with our in-house RF hardware (feeds, LNAs, amplifiers): packaging for ultra-low-noise electronics that has to survive outdoor conditions, alignment/tolerance strategy, and structural/environmental testing. When it's time to stand up our first array, you'll be on-site for deployment and commissioning. Full arc from CAD to field install. Looking for 4+ years designing and deploying complex hardware systems, experience integrating electronics into outdoor/exposed environments, thermal management of sensitive electronics, precision mechanical assemblies, and owning vendor/fab-shop relationships. RF/antenna experience is a bonus, not required. Note: US Persons only (ITAR/EAR — some customer datasets are restricted).
