About Us
Busek is a leader in innovative space propulsion technologies, specializing in electric and chemical propulsion systems. Our team pioneers advancements in space exploration by developing cutting-edge propulsion solutions for government and commercial applications.Summary
Busek is seeking
multiple Mechanical Engineers
to support the design, analysis, and sustainment of advanced space propulsion systems and spacecraft hardware. These roles span
mechanical design, thruster design, and structural analysis , supporting several active development and flight programs.
The ideal candidates will have strong mechanical fundamentals and experience in
SolidWorks-based design, structural analysis, and sustaining engineering , with the ability to make thoughtful design modifications to in-progress hardware to improve performance, reliability, and manufacturability. Depending on experience, candidates may take on
design-focused, analysis-focused, or hybrid responsibilities .How You Will Make an Impact Design and develop mechanical components and assemblies for propulsion systems and spacecraft hardware using
SolidWorks . Support
thruster mechanical design , including housings, mounts, interfaces, and structural components for electric and chemical propulsion systems. Perform
structural and thermal analyses
(static, dynamic, vibration, and launch load environments) for panel-mounted and spacecraft-integrated hardware. Generate detailed
engineering drawings, GD&T, and documentation
to support manufacturing and inspection. Provide
sustaining engineering support , including design refinements, issue resolution, and updates to hardware already in production or testing. Support
environmental testing
activities such as vibration, thermal vacuum, and acceptance testing. Conduct
trade studies
to optimize designs for mass, strength, thermal performance, and manufacturability. Collaborate with
propulsion, electrical, systems, and manufacturing engineers
to integrate mechanical designs into larger spacecraft systems. Support
prototype fabrication, assembly, and test , including hands-on troubleshooting. Work closely with
vendors and aerospace machine shops
to source and manufacture precision components. Support
NCRs (Non-Conformance Reports) ,
ECOs (Engineering Change Orders) , root cause investigations, and corrective actions. Required Skills & Qualifications Bachelor's degree in
Mechanical Engineering
or a related field. Experience in
mechanical design and/or structural analysis , preferably in aerospace, defense, or high-technology environments. Strong experience with
sustaining engineering , including modifications to in-progress or flight hardware. Proficiency in
SolidWorks , including part and assembly modeling, drawings, and design for manufacturability. Experience using
FEA tools
(e.g., ANSYS, SolidWorks Simulation) for structural and thermal analysis. Familiarity with
aerospace hardware considerations , including materials selection, vibration environments, thermal management, and vacuum compatibility. Experience working with
NCRs and ECOs . Strong
vendor interaction experience , including supplier calls and coordination with machine shops. Excellent problem-solving skills, attention to detail, and ability to work across disciplines. Salary Range
The expected salary range for this position is
$85,000 - $150,000 , depending on experience, education, and alignment with organizational needs.Benefits Competitive salary Medical, dental, and vision insurance Paid vacation and holidays 401(k) retirement plan Opportunities for professional development and career growth Export Control Notice (ITAR)
