Vast is a space exploration company building artificial gravity space stations.
At Vast, our mission is to contribute to a future where billions of people are living and thriving in space. We are building artificial gravity space stations, allowing long-term stays in space without the adverse effects of zero-gravity. Our initial crewed space habitat will be Haven-1, scheduled to be the world’s first commercial space station when it launches into low earth orbit in August 2025. Our team is all-in, committed to executing our mission safely and on time. If you want to work with the most talented people on Earth furthering space exploration for humanity, come join us.
Vast is looking for a Senior Mechanical Engineer, reporting to the Principal Engineer of Human Systems, to support the development of the systems required for the design and build of artificial-gravity human-rated space stations. This will be a full-time, exempt position located in our Long Beach location.
As a Senior Mechanical Engineer on the Human Systems team, you will have a unique opportunity to build out the environment that humans in our space station will regularly interact with: displays and controls, cabins, galleys, medical accommodations, lighting, mobility aids, and more. You will partner with cross-functional teams like avionics, thermal systems, ECLSS, test, integration, and manufacturing to ensure high-quality human habitation systems are designed and built.
To be considered, please submit a resume and engineering portfolio of work.
