Original job description

About Varda

Low Earth orbit is open for business. Varda is accelerating the development of commercial space infrastructure, from in-orbit pharmaceutical processing to reliable and economical reentry capsules. Varda’s W-Series vehicles are built, designed, and operated by Varda in-house, including the pharmaceutical processing payloads, the capsules, the C-PICA heat shields, and the satellite buses.

From life-saving pharmaceuticals to more powerful fiber optics, there is a world of products used on Earth today that can only be manufactured in space. Varda is accelerating innovation in the orbital economy by creating both the products and infrastructure needed so space can directly benefit life on Earth. Our mission is to expand the economic bounds of humankind.

Our team is uniquely suited to accomplishing this goal, with leadership and staff comprised of veterans from SpaceX, Blue Origin, major pharmaceutical companies and Silicon Valley. Varda was founded in January 2021 by Will Bruey and Delian Asparouhov with significant backing from world class investors including Khosla Ventures, Lux Capital, Founders Fund, Caffeinated Capital, General Catalyst, and Also Capital.

Varda is headquartered in El Segundo, California, where we have offices and a production facility where our vehicles, equipment, and materials are built, integrated, and tested. Varda also has offices in Washington, DC and Huntsville, AL.

Join Varda, and work to create a bustling in-space ecosystem.

About this Role

As a Mechanisms Engineer II on Varda’s Payload team, you will develop electromechanical flight hardware that operates in orbit, endures hypersonic reentry, and returns to Earth for inspection and iteration. You will take full-stack responsibility for payloads across both pharmaceutical manufacturing and hypersonic reentry testbed missions - delivering flight hardware from concept through build, test, launch, and recovery.

You’ll collaborate closely with internal specialists and external partners, translate engineering requirements into flight-ready designs, and perform hands-on integration and testing to deliver hardware that flies in months, not years. This role is ideal for engineers with strong mechanical fundamentals who want to grow their breadth across thermal, fluids, avionics, software, and integration while shipping real hardware to space and back.

Responsibilities

Own payload hardware from concept through design, integration, launch, reentry, and recovery
Design mechanisms, structures, thermal/fluid interfaces, and electromechanical assemblies
Run structural, thermal, and fluid analyses (hand calcs, simplified models, and FEA as needed)
Build, instrument, and test prototypes and flight hardware
Work across avionics, software, thermal, systems, and integration teams to define interfaces and ensure compatibility
Serve as the primary technical point of contact for assigned payloads
Generate documentation: requirements, ICDs, procedures, test reports
Support mission operations and post-flight teardown
Contribute to lessons learned and continuous improvement

Basic Qualifications

BS/BEng in Mechanical, Aerospace, Mechatronics, or related engineering discipline
2+ years of design and analysis experience working on complex electro-mechanical hardware or comparable mechanisms
Strong fundamentals in structures, heat transfer, fluids, and dynamics
Hands-on experience designing, integrating, testing, and troubleshooting electromechanical hardware
Ability to communicate effectively across disciplines

Preferred Qualifications

Experience integrating electromechanical actuators, sensors, thermal control hardware and/or fluid control hardware
Experience using CAD (NX preferred) and FEA (Ansys, Nastran)
Exposure to aerospace environmental testing (vibration, TVAC, EMI/EMC)
Customer-facing technical communication experience
Ability to obtain a government security clearance

Pay Range

Salary range: $119,543 - $152,749/per year
This role is on-site in El Segundo, CA
Leveling and base salary is determined by job-related skills, education level, experience level, and job performance
You will be eligible for incentives in the form of stock options and/or long-term cash awards

“US person” means: U.S. citizen, U.S. lawful permanent resident, or protected individual as defined by 8 U.S.C. 1324b(a)(3) (i.e., individual admitted to the U.S. as a refugee or granted asylum).
