About this role

Senior Satellite Mechanical Engineer Midland, Texas, United States AST SpaceMobile is building the first and only global cellular broadband network in space to operate directly with standard, unmodified mobile devices based on our extensive IP and patent portfolio and designed for both commercial and government applications. Our engineers and space scientists are on a mission to eliminate the connectivity gaps faced by today's five billion mobile subscribers and finally bring broadband to the billions who remain unconnected. Position Overview We are seeking a Senior Mechanical Engineer to support satellite mechanical systems and payload development across systems engineering, mechanical design, structural analysis, assembly, integration, and test activities. This role requires strong technical expertise, creativity, and the ability to challenge traditional approaches. The engineer will collaborate across multidisciplinary teams, lead small groups when needed, and manage assignments with a high degree of autonomy to advance spacecraft mechanical architecture, performance, and manufacturability. Key Responsibilities - Perform spacecraft mechanical system and payload layout studies to optimize architecture for simplicity, performance, mass, and cost. - Develop and maintain mechanical and structural design documentation at the system and equipment level, including manufacturing drawings, interface control drawings (ICDs), assembly/process documentation, and test plans. - Prepare and present technical content for design reviews, readiness reviews, and engineering checkpoints. - Troubleshoot mechanical anomalies and failures; conduct root-cause analyses and implement corrective actions. - Collaborate closely with manufacturing and production teams to ensure effective transfer of designs, processes, and technical information. - Evaluate, promote, and integrate new technologies, methods, and
