Original job description

About Urban Sky Urban Sky is a venture-backed aerospace startup on a mission to pioneer humanity’s routine, easy access to the stratosphere and the value locked within it. We design, build, operate, and sell stratospheric balloon systems. The data we collect supports a wide range of applications, from real-time wildfire monitoring to urban mapping. Our technology is also employed by government customers including the Department of Defense (DoD), NASA, and others. Urban Sky sends flight vehicles to the stratosphere on a weekly basis. Our team consists of engineers, makers, developers, and doers who believe in the power of human potential when passion meets utility within a small, supportive team. At Urban Sky we strive to create a team culture grounded in candor, inclusion, respect and empowerment. We aim to build the next chapter of stratospheric history in Denver and are seeking self-starting, open-minded, and hard-working team members.

About the role Urban Sky is seeking a talented Mechanical Engineer to own the design, development, and fielding of advanced electro-optical imaging systems aboard our stratospheric balloon platforms. Our payloads operate in one of the harshest environments on Earth. They must survive temperature extremes, near-vacuum pressures, and high shock loads while delivering precision performance. This engineer will design systems that integrate optics (both custom and off-the-shelf), sensors, edge compute, 2-axis stabilization mechanisms, and thermal management systems into compact, flight-ready packages. The technical challenges are broad, and so is the ownership. This is a hands-on role on a fast-paced, multidisciplinary team. Your work will span the entire development lifecycle, from initial requirements and rapid prototyping through flight testing and production transition. You will work across a range of commercial and defense products that are making real and lasting impacts today.

Key Responsibilities

Translate product requirements and use cases into ruggedized design solutions for a diverse customer base spanning scientific, commercial, and defense applications
Design robust, reusable payload structures with an emphasis on protecting critical components and enabling rapid turnarounds between flights. Perform structural analysis and testing to validate designs against flight load cases
Select materials appropriate for stratospheric conditions balancing strength, thermal performance, weight, and cost constraints
Support the design and development of 2-axis gimbal systems including structure design, motor and gear reduction mechanism selection, and feedback architecture to achieve precise pointing control
Design and analyze thermal management solutions to maintain components within operating temperature ranges across stratospheric conditions. Develop and verify thermal models against test and flight data to build confidence in system performance
Plan and execute benchtop testing of subsystems and prototypes to validate functionality prior to flight testing
Conduct environmental testing including thermal cycling, vacuum exposure, and shock qualification. Support field integration and test campaigns, incorporating operational feedback into design iterations
Maintain thorough engineering documentation including design/analysis rationale, trade studies, assembly procedures, test reports, and lessons learned to support knowledge retention and production readiness
Generate high-quality engineering drawings with appropriate use of GD&T when necessary
Develop and execute verification and validation plans, prepare prototypes for flight, and maintain flight safety documentation
Analyze flight performance data to identify issues and drive design iteration. Lead post-flight hardware teardowns and failure investigations to determine root cause and inform corrective actions
Contribute to payload architecture decisions, including evaluating new sensor technologies, identifying candidate hardware for integration, and proposing new payload concepts or capability expansions

Qualifications

Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering or a closely related discipline; advanced degree is a plus but not required
2-5 years of experience in mechanical design and integration of electromechanical systems operating in real-world environments
Proficiency in CAD software (e.g., OnShape, SolidWorks, or Fusion 360) for designing complex mechanical systems
Strong knowledge of materials and manufacturing processes, including CNC machining, sheet metal fabrication, 3D printing, and injection molding
Intuitive understanding of tolerance analysis, design for manufacturing (DFM), and design for assembly (DFA), with the ability to design parts and assemblies that are practical to build, inspect, and maintain
Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with experience using hand calculations and simulation tools to inform design decisions and the ability to systematically troubleshoot hardware issues when things don't go as planned

Nice-to-Haves / Preferred Skills

Knowledge in optics, optomechanics, or imaging systems
Experience working in aerospace or satellite development
Experience developing mechanisms, motion control applications, or gimbal systems
Familiarity with integrating mechanical systems with electronics and sensors
Knowledge of stratospheric or high-altitude conditions and their impact on mechanical systems
Experience with cable and wire harness design
Familiarity with Linux or embedded systems

Requirements

Must be a US Citizen or equivalent work authorization (Permanent Resident or otherwise eligible to access controlled US Government information)
Must be located near Denver, CO or willing to relocate. This role is on-site at our office at 4800 Race St., Denver, CO

Benefits

Stock Options
Medical, Vision and Dental
Flexible PTO schedule
Cell Phone Bill Stipend
