Senior Mechanical Engineer

We need to output HTML fragment only, with headings

for sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Use

• for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and

  for prose. Do NOT repeat job title as heading. Do NOT put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings. Remove boilerplate. Include sections only when posting has real specific content. Must preserve all substantive info. We need to parse the posting. Company description: "Company AnySignal is developing the next generation of RF products and services for some of the most demanding space and defense missions. We’re building a flexible, high-performance platform that’s easy to deploy, monitor, and scale, enabling customers to bring advanced radio technologies to life faster than ever before." That's about the company; could be "About the role"? Actually "About the role" is a heading for role description. The posting includes "The Role" paragraph describing role. So we can put that under

  About the role

  maybe. Then "What You'll Do" list of duties: many bullet-like sentences. We'll need to put under

  Responsibilities

  with
  • . Then "Required Skills" list: bullet points. That's Requirements? Could be

    Requirements

    or

    Qualifications

    . The instruction says use headings for sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to decide which to use. There's "Required Skills" and "Desired Skills". Could map Required Skills to Requirements, Desired Skills to Skills (or Qualifications). Also there is "Compensation" section with salary range and benefits. That maps to Pay and Benefits. There's also "Additional Information" about ITAR, accommodation, etc. That's not needed; we can drop boilerplate? It's not exactly boilerplate but it's legal/EEO etc. The instruction says remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The ITAR and accommodation statements might be considered legal/EEO? Possibly they are legal. We should remove them. Also "Compensation Range: $170K - $205K" duplicate of earlier compensation line; we can drop duplicate. Thus sections: - About the role: includes company description and role overview paragraph. - Responsibilities: the "What You'll Do" list. - Requirements: the "Required Skills" list. - Skills: the "Desired Skills" list. - Benefits: benefits mentioned: equity grant, full benefits package (Medical, Dental, Vision), HSA's and 401K program. Also maybe mention equity as part of compensation but we can include in Benefits. - Pay: salary range $170,000 – $205,000 per year, plus equity. - Schedule: not mentioned; we should not create Schedule section if no content. Thus we omit Schedule. We need to ensure we don't include filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present. We need to preserve all substantive info. Let's extract details. Company description paragraph: "Company AnySignal is developing the next generation of RF products and services for some of the most demanding space and defense missions. We’re building a flexible, high-performance platform that’s easy to deploy, monitor, and scale, enabling customers to bring advanced radio technologies to life faster than ever before." Role overview paragraph: "The Role We're hiring a Senior Mechanical Engineer to own the mechanical design of our space radios — the housings, thermal paths, and structures that let high-performance RF hardware survive launch and operate reliably on orbit. This is a hands-on design role first. You will personally own enclosure designs from concept through drawings, fabrication, and qualification, and you will be the person who signs off on whether a structure will hold and a part will stay within temperature. Mechanical design at AnySignal is currently distributed across a small hardware team; you will be the senior technical voice for the discipline, set how mechanical work gets done here, and shape the team as it grows around you." We can combine these into About the role section. Now Responsibilities: list each bullet from "What You'll Do". Let's extract: - Own mechanical design of space radio enclosures and chassis end to end: concept, CAD, detailed drawings, fabrication, assembly, and qualification. - Design the thermal path — conduction, interface materials, heat straps and radiators — and run hot- and cold-case analysis for vacuum operation, then correlate your models against test data. - Perform structural analysis including static, modal, and random vibration FEA; own margins of safety, fastener and joint analysis, and mass and CG budgets. - Plan and run environmental qualification campaigns — vibration, shock, thermal vacuum, thermal cycling — including test plans, fixture design, and time on the floor at the test house. - Select materials and processes appropriate to the space environment: alloys and finishes, low-outgassing materials, venting, contamination control, and galvanic compatibility. - Produce manufacturing-ready drawing packages with GD&T to ASME Y14.5, and work directly with machine shops and contract manufacturers on DFM, quoting, and first-article inspection. - Partner with RF and PCB engineers on SWaP trades, board mounting and standoffs, connector and waveguide placement, shielding, and grounding. - Own mechanical interface control documents with customers, bus providers, and integrators. - Lead mechanical content at design reviews and hold the line on documentation and configuration control. - Establish the mechanical engineering practice: CAD and drawing standards, PDM structure, review cadence, and analysis conventions — then mentor engineers into them and help us hire well as the team grows. We'll put each as
  • . Now Requirements (Required Skills): - 6+ years of mechanical design experience, including hardware that has flown or been qualified for flight. - Expert-level CAD (SolidWorks preferred; NX or Creo equivalent) and detailed drawings with GD&T to ASME Y14.5. - Demonstrated ownership of thermal design for vacuum environments, including analysis and correlation to thermal vacuum test results. - Structural analysis and FEA experience covering random vibration and shock, with the judgment to know when analysis is sufficient and when to test. - Direct, hands-on ownership of at least one environmental qualification campaign from test plan through report. - Strong DFM instincts for precision machining and sheet metal, with a track record of working shops effectively. - Comfortable being the only mechanical engineer in the room: able to make defensible calls on incomplete requirements and explain them to electrical, RF, and program stakeholders. Now Skills (Desired Skills): - Mechanical design specifically for RF payloads or space radios (shielding, gasketing, EMI containment, waveguide and connector interfaces.) - Proficiency with thermal tools such as Thermal Desktop, Ansys Icepak, or FloTHERM. - Familiarity with radiation environments and shielding mass trades. - Experience with smallsat form factors, ESPA-class payloads, or common bus mechanical interfaces. - Hands-on integration and test experience: builds, harnessing, torque control, and mechanical I&T. - Prior technical leadership or mentorship of other mechanical engineers, formal or informal. Now Benefits: - Equity grant. - Full benefits package (Medical, Dental, Vision). - HSA's. - 401K program. We could also mention "total compensation includes an equity grant and our full benefits package (Medical, Dental, Vision), HSA's and 401K program." Now Pay: - Estimated base salary range: $170,000 – $205,000 per year, plus equity. - Note: final base salary offered will depend on qualifications, etc. We can keep that as prose. We should not include duplicate "Compensation Range: $170K - $205K". We'll keep the first. Now we need to output HTML fragment only, with

    headings and

    • for lists,

      for prose. We must not include any extra text outside HTML. Let's craft. Structure:

      About the role

      Company AnySignal is developing the next generation of RF products and services for some of the most demanding space and defense missions.

      But note we have duplicated "The Role" phrase inside paragraph; we could keep as is. Better to separate: maybe two paragraphs: one about company, one about role. But it's fine. Now Responsibilities:
