What you need
- Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical, Aerospace, or Manufacturing Engineering
- 1+ yrs experience in manufacturing or test of spaceflight hardware
- Proficiency with CAD (SolidWorks, NX, Onshape) and GD&T
- Hands-on experience with mechanical assembly, tooling, or fixture design
- Experience writing work instructions or travelers for hardware builds
What you'll do
- Build qualification and flight units
- Develop processes, tooling, and documentation for repeatable production
- Work closely with design engineers and technicians on the shop floor
- Help shape how the production line grows
They say the best deployable is no deployable, but we believe large deployable mechanisms are the future for large infrastructure in space.
At Beyond Reach Labs, we are designing and building the largest deployable structures ever flown to space. As an engineering-driven organization, you will be at the forefront of the company's key technology development.
To make this possible, our deployables need to move from hand-built prototypes to a repeatable, qualified production line. As a Manufacturing Engineer, you will be hands-on in building qualification and flight units and in developing the processes, tooling, and documentation that make them repeatable. You will work closely with design engineers and technicians on the shop floor, and help shape how the production line grows.

About Beyond Reach Labs
At Beyond Reach Labs we are building solar panels for Space that grow from the size of a dining table to a football field in orbit. Mitch and Pele met 13 years ago as freshmen at UPenn studying mechanical engineering. Mitch recently got his PhD at Carnegie Mellon working with NASA on kilometer-scale deployable structures, and Pele spent seven years at SpaceX leading Dragon parachute engineering, safely returning astronauts from space. The collective satellites today use around 20MW, roughly the output of a datacenter on earth, but by 2030 there is a demand for over 10GW, a 500x increase, largely driven by orbital datacenters, space stations, and lunar outposts. If you want more power, your only option is to launch larger solar panels, which quickly become fragile or impractically expensive. As a result, power constraints already determine whether missions or industries can exist at all. But at Beyond Reach Labs we have introduced a new class of deployable solar panels giving satellites 10x more usable power without increasing launch mass or volume. This works because our patented deployable design changes geometry in space, allowing for us to reach 10x longer while remaining rigid.
