From Samara Aerospace's posting. “We” and “our” refer to the employer.
Senior Engineering Technician
Samara Aerospace is revolutionizing satellite design by addressing the challenges of deploying and managing large satellite constellations. Our innovative Hummingbird spacecraft bus offers a modular and scalable platform that streamlines satellite production and deployment, significantly reducing launch costs. Hummingbird's compact architecture maximizes launch capacity, making it the most efficient and agile spacecraft in the industry.
At the core of our technology is the patented Multifunctional Structures for Attitude Control (MSAC) system. Unlike traditional wheel-based pointing control systems, MSAC utilizes actuators embedded in the hinges of deployable solar panels to provide 3-axis attitude control and active jitter cancellation. This design eliminates the need for spinning wheels, reducing mass and potential points of failure, while enhancing pointing precision.
Samara Aerospace is looking for a Senior Lab Technician to join our team as we build our first Hummingbird satellite technology demonstrator. As a growing startup, there are opportunities to lead the organization and layout of the development lab, support PCB rework, harness builds, CNC fabrication, hardware assembly, and environmental testing. You'll work alongside engineers across mechanical and electrical disciplines while contributing directly to hardware that will fly in space.
If you like learning new skills, taking ownership, and doing work that matters, you'll fit right here.
Within your first three months, as you establish yourself and demonstrate ownership, this role can be formalized into a Senior Technician/Lab Manager position where you would take responsibility for coordinating and mentoring new technicians as we grow the team. If you're a hands-on, organized, and self-driven technician who wants to grow into leadership without leaving the hardware behind, this is the role for you.
