About Us At CosmoChute, we are building modular, reusable lunar robotics infrastructure for long-duration planetary operations. Our systems combine mobility, modular payload deployment, survivability through lunar nights, and repairability to make sustained presence on the Moon economically viable. We’re a deeply technical, fast-moving team that believes in real ownership, real trust and in creating an environment where your best work matters.

Your Role We're looking for a hands-on Senior Mechanical Engineer to join our core engineering team. You'll work across the full mechanical development lifecycle, from concept and design through analysis, fabrication, integration, and test, on our lunar rover and surface systems. This is a generalist role where you'll be expected to own problems end-to-end, context-switch across subsystems, and make good engineering decisions rapidly. You will contribute to systems such as:

Modular lunar rover platform

Payload deployment and transport systems

Bogie and wheel systems for extreme terrain

Structural assemblies and thermal-mechanical interfaces

Dust mitigation and survivability mechanisms

Repairable and modular robotic architectures

This role is best suited for someone who enjoys building from first principles, prototyping rapidly, and solving unconventional engineering problems under real constraints. Your Responsibilities

Design and develop mechanical systems, assemblies, mechanisms, harness routing designs, and thermal interfaces for lunar robotics

Collaborate closely with systems, electronics, and software engineers in integrated teams

Develop and maintain CAD models and engineering drawings to space-grade standards

Contribute to mission-level trade studies and system-level design decisions

Run or oversee structural, vibration,



and thermal analysis and interpret results to drive design decisions

Interface with external vendors, fabricators, and test facilities

Contribute to design reviews and technical documentation

Support integration, assembly, and test campaigns Requirements

Must have

Bachelor’s or master’s degree in Mechanical engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Robotics, or related field.

Experience of 5+ years in the same domain.

Strong CAD skills (SolidWorks, CATIA, or similar)

Understanding of mechanisms, structures, materials, and manufacturing processes

Experience with prototyping and hardware development

Familiarity with tolerance stack-up, fasteners, bearings, gear systems, and actuator integration and GD&T; in compliance with ASME Y14.5 standards.

Ability to work independently in fast-moving development environments

Strong problem-solving mindset and engineering intuition

Good to have

Experience with robotics, rovers, drones, automotive, aerospace, formula racing or mobility systems

Knowledge of FEA and simulation tools (ANSYS, SolidWorks Simulation, etc.)

Exposure to thermal systems or vacuum-setting design

Experience with composites, lightweight structures, or space-grade materials

Familiarity with environmental testing and reliability engineering

Experience in working with either of, ECSS, ISO, NASA, GEVS or similar standards for design, development and/or verification What we deeply value

Curiosity and ownership

Ability to learn quickly across disciplines

Practical engineering judgment and first principles thinking

Profound mutual respect among co-workers

Willingness to prototype, fail, iterate, and improve Benefits

What we offer Competitive compensation

Equity participation

Meaningful long-term growth potential

Complete honesty with only legally required abstractions
