Job Description:
As part of our HAPS team, you will perform the following activities:
1.

Mechanism Design & Kinematics
* Design and optimize complex, lightweight moving mechanisms, including deployment systems (wings, solar arrays, antennas), actuation linkages, hinges, and latching systems.
* Ensure mechanisms can operate reliably in the extreme thermal environments of the stratosphere (ranging from -70oC to +50oC) without seizing or binding.
* Select and integrate aerospace-grade bearings, lubricants, gears, and electric actuators.
2.

Hands-on Assembly & Integration (AIT)
* Lead the physical assembly and structural integration of the HAPS airframe, payloads, and mechanical subsystems.
* Perform precision alignments, bonding, fastening,



and torqueing of critical composite and metallic components.
* Troubleshoot mechanical fitment, interference, and tolerance stack-up issues directly on the hardware during build cycles.
3.

Structural & Functional Testing
* Define, set up, and execute rigorous physical test plans, including structural load tests, environmental (thermal-vacuum) testing, and mechanism deployment lifecycle testing.
* Instrument test articles with strain gauges, accelerometers, thermocouples, and displacement sensors.
* Correlate physical test data back to analytical models to continuously improve future designs.
4.

Structural Analysis & Materials
* Perform hand calculations and Finite Element Analysis (FEA) to validate the structural integrity of both static structures and moving mechanisms.
* Utilize advanced CAD software to create detailed 3D models and manufacturing/assembly drawings.
