Sr. Mechanical Engineer

Hubble Network was founded with the intention of delivering on the promise of what Internet-of-Things (IoT) was supposed to be. We're building a global Bluetooth network dedicated to machine-to-machine connectivity. We differentiate ourselves as the first modem-less and gateway-less, direct-to-satellite network from off-the-shelf BLE chips. Hubble is ideal for applications in logistics, AgTech, and maritime where economies of scale for volume consumer and enterprise asset tracking is a priority. Our goal is to be the first billion-endpoint-connected network in the world.

Hubble is an early-stage, venture-backed startup supported by some of the best investors in the world. In their previous lives, the founding team has been successful in raising $100s of millions in venture funding, developing the Amazon Sidewalk network, launching billions of dollars of space assets, and leading their teams to successful exits, both through acquisition and IPO. We are now looking to bring on talented team members who are the best at what they do to help us make Hubble a reality for the world.

At Hubble we're deploying the world's most advanced satellite IoT network.

As a Senior Mechanical Engineer you will own complex hardware from cradle to grave and will interact regularly with senior leadership during critical design phases. Your main initial focus will be on mechanical structures for the deployable payload.

RESPONSIBILITIES:

Own hardware from conceptual design through high volume production and on-orbit operation for the Hubble constellation

Develop design criteria, collaborate on requirements, and drive system-level optimization

Rapidly iterate on designs and analysis to inform high level systems trades and steer overall product direction

Drive holistic DFM to create elegant designs with a focus on piece part and process count reductions, error proofing at every step of fabrication and integration, and consistent performance and production metrics

Establish an efficient product lifecycle starting in the supply chain all the way through final integration that balances cost, complexity, and quality; work closely with partner teams to design and realize an efficient in-house production line

Perform environmental and performance testing on hardware to validate analysis and demonstrate compliance to design criteria

Own product delivery timeline through conception, design, assembly, and launch

Demonstrate extreme ownership of product outcomes at every stage of development and production This is an Onsite - Full-Time position.
