Catalyx Space is building next-generation entry systems and spacecraft platforms. As a Senior Space Mechanisms Level -III, you will lead the design, development, and qualification of spacecraft separation devices. This role is suited for an engineer who has hands-on experience with flight-proven separation systems and is ready to own the full lifecycle of these critical mechanisms.

Responsibilities:
- Own the design, architecture, and qualification of spacecraft separation systems.
- Lead development of separation mechanisms for spacecraft.
- Support energetic modelling and modal response simulations.
- Conduct qualification testing: vibration, shock, and thermal vacuum.
- Collaborate with systems and structures teams to ensure seamless integration.
- Deliver flight-qualified separation hardware and supporting documentation.

Qualifications:
- Bachelor’s/Master’s in Aerospace/Mechanical Engineering or related field.
- 5–10 years of experience in spacecraft mechanisms, with a minimum of 3 years dedicated to separation systems.




- Direct hands-on experience with flight-proven spacecraft separation hardware.
- Strong expertise in GD&T; (ASME Y14.5 standards), DFM, and design for additive manufacturing (DfAM).
- Strong understanding of tolerance stack-up analysis.
- Experience with SolidWorks layout design, linkage, or equivalent mechanism design software.
- Experience in modelling complex joints.
- Proven experience with vibration analysis and testing of spacecraft mechanisms.
- Expertise in creating CMM probing area descriptions of parts for inspection and validation.
- Deep experience with coatings, plating, and other surface treatment processes for mechanism hardware.
- Strong experience with ANSYS or similar CAE packages for structural, modal, and thermal analysis of mechanisms.
- Experience with qualification test campaigns (shock, vibration, TVAC).
- Responsible for procurement activities and coordinating with vendors to ensure timely delivery of parts and services
