Astra Space, Inc.

Astra's mission is to improve life on Earth from space by creating a healthier and more connected planet. Today, Astra offers one of the lowest cost-per-launch dedicated orbital launch services, and one of the industry's leading flight-proven electric propulsion systems for satellites, the Astra Spacecraft Engine. The Opportunity We are looking for a Staff Mechanical Engineer to lead the mechanical design and manufacturability of next-generation Hall-effect thrusters for spacecraft propulsion. This role is critical to ensuring that our propulsion systems not only achieve world-class performance and reliability in orbit but are also optimized for repeatable, cost-effective, and scalable production. The ideal candidate will blend deep expertise in mechanical design for extreme environments with a proven ability to drive design-for-manufacture (DFM) and design-for-assembly (DFA) principles into hardware that must survive launch and operate for years in space....
