Teams at Starpath

Own the structural architecture, design, analysis, qualification, and production of lightweight space solar array hardware. Lead structural trades, hand calculations, FEA, material and joint selection, test planning, model correlation, design reviews, failure investigations, and risk reduction. Partner with multidisciplinary engineering, manufacturing, and suppliers to resolve integration challenges, improve production processes, reduce mass, and ensure flight readiness. Mentor engineers and establish robust structural design and verification practices.

Own the architecture, design, analysis, testing, qualification, and production transition of spacecraft rotary actuators and deployment mechanisms for solar arrays. Responsibilities include drivetrain sizing, structural and thermal analysis, tribology and lubrication strategy, qualification testing, design reviews, failure investigations, supplier and manufacturing collaboration, and mentoring engineers. The role requires integrating motors, gearheads, bearings, sensors, and control systems for reliable operation in vacuum, thermal-cycling, launch, and mission environments.

Design, analyze, qualify, and deploy avionics systems for lunar and Martian propellant-production platforms. Own electrical systems from requirements through flight execution, conduct trade studies, define qualification testing, validate hardware in simulated space environments, and coordinate electrical, thermal, and software integration. The role requires electrical board design, testing expertise, and experience developing spaceflight electrical systems.
