Position Description
Satellite servicing missions require autonomous, robotic actions in orbit. To fulfill our mission Starfish is developing the Otter servicing vehicle, the Nautilus capture mechanism, the Manta articulating thruster arm, and other hardware technology to interact with and maximize the operational value of satellites. This position will support the development of structures, mechanisms, and robotics, and relies heavily on mechanical engineering, electromechanical prototyping, and system design skills. This engineer will do everything ranging from designing in CAD, to manufacturing and testing prototypes, to building hardware that performs first-of-its-kind satellite servicing on-orbit.

Qualifications

• Willing to work from Tukwila, Washington
• Capable of working a dynamic, fast-paced startup environment
• Mechanical and/or electrical design, manufacturing, and/or testing capability
• B.S. degree or equivalent in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering or similar field

Desired Experience

• Previous experience designing, manufacturing, and/or testing space or autonomous robotic systems
• Working knowledge of mechanical engineering
• Proficiency with mechanical engineering tools such as CAD and FEA

ITAR Requirements
To conform to U.S. Government space technology export regulations, including the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) you must be a U.S. citizen, lawful permanent resident of the U.S., protected individual as defined by 8 U.S.C. 1324b(a)(3), or eligible to obtain the required authorizations from the U.S. Department of State.
