AI&T Mechanical Technician
Highlights
Location:Broomfield CO
Project Duration:2 months
Employment Type:Contract
Compensation:Based on experience
Our client is looking for a Mechanical Technicianto support their team.
Role Description:
As our clients AI&T Mechanical Technician youll play a key role in bringing next-generation spacecraft and payloads to life. Youll work closely with engineering and test teams to assemble mechanical subsystems integrate complex components and support testing of both flight and ground-based systems. Your work directly enables the autonomous capabilities that power real-time space domain awareness and on-orbit servicing.
This role is ideal for someone with a strong mechanical foundation a passion for hands-on problem solving and a desire to grow in a fast-moving startup environment.
Key Responsibilities:
Assembly & Integration
- Assemble mechanical subsystems for spacecraft satellite payloads and ground-based test articles.
- Integrate structural thermal electrical and sensor components into complete systems.
- Support cleanroom operations including hardware handling and contamination control.
Test Execution
- Set up and operate mechanical test equipment (e.g. vibration tables thermal chambers alignment rigs).
- Support environmental testing fit checks deployment tests and functional test campaigns.
- Maintain detailed logs of test setups procedures and results.
Tooling & Fabrication
- Fabricate fixtures mounts and support hardware using standard shop tools.
- Work closely with engineers to provide feedback on manufacturability and integration processes.
Process & Documentation
- Interpret and follow detailed engineering drawings work instructions and procedures.
- Support design reviews and assist with design-for-assembly feedback.
- Track and report non-conformances and support root cause analysis.
Qualifications:
Required:
- Associates degree in mechanical aerospace or related technology field or equivalent hands-on experience.
- 3 years in mechanical assembly and testing of aerospace automotive or complex electromechanical systems.
- Proficient with hand tools measurement tools torquing practices and mechanical fastener standards.
- Experience working in an R&D or low-rate production environment.
- Ability to read engineering drawings wiring diagrams and BOMs.
- Strong attention to detail and documentation accuracy.
- U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident (required for export compliance).
Preferred:
- Experience with cleanroom or ESD-safe practices.
- Familiarity with spacecraft structures deployable mechanisms or optical payloads.
- Experience supporting environmental test campaigns (vibe thermal vacuum shock).
- Comfortable with rapid prototyping iterative build/test cycles and working across disciplines.
