Mechanical Design Engineer (Space Hardware)
IRPI LLC
Senior mechanical engineer job in Wilsonville, OR
Job Description
IRPI pioneers the hardware that sustains life and enables exploration beyond Earth. We design and build flight systems for spacecraft, habitats, and space suits, advancing the critical technology that manages air, water, waste, and thermal control for human missions.
What makes IRPI unique is our seamless integration of research, design, and fluid-thermal engineering. From early-stage concepts to flight-qualified systems, we transform ideas into tested, mission-ready technology that expands the boundaries of human presence in space.
Your Mission
As a Mechanical Design Engineer, you will take ownership of component and subsystem design for active NASA and commercial space contracts. You won't just be a cog in a machine; you will drive the creation of hardware that advances human space exploration.
This role requires a candidate who is adept in complex mechanical design using SolidWorks (or similar 3D CAD), with a passion for solving difficult packaging and fabrication challenges.
This position requires access to export-controlled technology. Only U.S. citizens or nationals are eligible.
Key Responsibilities
Own the full design lifecycle for space hardware, managing both inherited legacy designs and new concepts from initial sketch through detailed design, assembly, and integration.
Design complex parts and assemblies for Environmental Control and Life Support Systems (ECLSS), involving fluid dynamics, thermal management, and structural integrity.
Utilize advanced manufacturing techniques, specifically designing for metallic and polymer additive manufacturing (3D printing), CNC machining, and molding.
Translate designs into production realities, leveraging both internal manufacturing capabilities and external vendors to establish efficient fabrication processes.
Develop novel manufacturing and prototyping methods to support cutting-edge research and development (R&D) efforts where standard processes do not exist.
Perform structural and thermal analysis (FEA) as needed to validate designs, ensuring hardware can withstand rigorous spaceflight environments.
Collaborate with seniorengineering leadership to refine requirements and iterate rapidly on prototypes, balancing speed with technical rigor.
Demonstrate deep mechanical design expertise, taking accountability for individual design outcomes while contributing to broader system optimization.
Requirements
Bachelor's Degree in MechanicalEngineering, Aerospace Engineering, or a related technical discipline.
1+ years of experience in mechanical design (professional experience, significant internships, or intensive university project teams are applicable).
Strong proficiency in CAD (SolidWorks, NX, or CREO), with a specific focus on complex part modeling, surfacing, and intricate geometries rather than large assembly management.
Demonstrated experience with Additive Manufacturing, specifically designing parts for metal (e.g., DMLS) and polymer (e.g., SLA, SLS) printing.
Knowledge of fluid or thermal systems, including an understanding of how to design components that interface with valves, seals, and flow paths for environmental control.
Solid understanding of fabrication fundamentals, including CNC machining and molding, with the ability to apply Design for Manufacturing (DFM) principles to complex parts.
Ability to perform basic structural and thermal hand calculations or initial FEA simulations to validate component integrity.
A solid understanding of fluid mechanics, heat transfer, and thermodynamics.
