About the role

Trident Systems in Melbourne, Florida, is seeking a Principal Mechanical Engineer to lead the mechanical design and analysis of spacecraft electronics assemblies. You will apply expert CAD, FEA, and thermal methods to ensure flight-ready hardware within schedule and budget. You will collaborate with program managers and multi-disciplinary teams, mentor engineers, and champion robust design reviews, thermal management, and environmental testing for space hardware.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
