Mechanical Engineer II

Xona is the navigational intelligence company bringing real-time, centimeter-level certainty to any device, anywhere on Earth.

With Pulsar – the world’s most advanced PNT satellite infrastructure in Low Earth Orbit – Xona will offer a future-proof, backwards-compatible global positioning system optimized for absolute precision, superior power, and robust protection.

As a Mechanical Engineer on the Payload Hardware team Xona, you'll take ownership of mechanical hardware for RF systems from design through manufacturing, assembly, integration and test. From spacecraft payload electronics to antennas to MGSE (mechanical ground support equipment), your work will ensure the end-to-end RF broadcast system delivers Xona’s high-accuracy and high-precision PNT service.

This is a high-ownership, fast-moving role with significant responsibility for delivering hardware on schedule, writing clear documentation, and supporting hands-on test operations. Candidates must be comfortable working in a dynamic startup environment alongside other disciplines, anticipating next steps, and driving projects forward without constant direction.
