Portal Space Systems
Portal Space Systems is seeking a senior mechanisms engineer to lead the design, development, and validation of critical vehicle mechanism subsystems such as separation systems, landing gear, or electromechanical actuators. The role involves full lifecycle ownership from concept through flight, collaborating closely with propulsion, structures, avionics, GNC, and launch operations, and requires rapid iteration, hands‑on hardware work, and test campaign leadership.
Portal Space Systems is an aerospace company developing Supernova, a solar-thermal spacecraft engineered for rapid, sustained maneuverability across orbital regimes from LEO to Cislunar space. Their proprietary Solar Thermal Propulsion (STP) technology delivers up to 6 km/s of delta-v, offering on-demand autonomy and real-time control without the need for nuclear reactors. The company serves national security, commercial, and scientific missions with capabilities including orbital repositioning, rendezvous and servicing, and payload delivery.
