As part of our HAPS team, you will perform the following activities:

Responsibilities

• Mechanism Design & Kinematics
  • Design and optimize complex, lightweight moving mechanisms, including deployment systems (wings, solar arrays, antennas), actuation linkages, hinges, and latching systems.
  • Ensure mechanisms can operate reliably in the extreme thermal environments of the stratosphere (ranging from -70ºC to +50ºC) without seizing or binding.
  • Select and integrate aerospace-grade bearings, lubricants, gears, and electric actuators.
• Hands‑on Assembly & Integration (AIT)
  • Lead the physical assembly and structural integration of the HAPS airframe, payloads, and mechanical subsystems.
  • Perform precision alignments, bonding, fastening, and torqueing of critical composite and metallic components.
  • Troubleshoot mechanical fitment, interference, and tolerance stack‑up issues directly on the ...
