AST SpaceMobile is building the first and only global cellular broadband network in space to operate directly with standard, unmodified mobile devices based on our extensive IP and patent portfolio and designed for both commercial and government applications. Our engineers and space scientists are on a mission to eliminate the connectivity gaps faced by today’s five billion mobile subscribers and finally bring broadband to the billions who remain unconnected. Position Overview We are seeking an experienced Satellite Mechanical/Structural Engineer to lead the design, analysis, and optimization of satellite structures and launch vehicle adapters. This role involves both non-recurring and sustaining activities for mechanical structures, mechanisms accommodation, and related elements, ensuring successful delivery to integration and testing. The ideal candidate will be innovative, collaborative, and capable of working autonomously while also leading small teams. Key Responsibilities Lead design, analysis, and system trade studies to determine optimal architecture for satellite structures and launch vehicle adapters. Execute design and evaluation of assigned projects using sound engineering principles and program requirements. Develop structural configurations, testing requirements, materials, processes, and tools. Create and maintain mechanical/structure design documentation: analysis reports, interface control drawings, test procedures, and manufacturing drawings. Prepare and present design and readiness reviews to management and peers. Troubleshoot anomalies, perform root-cause analysis, and implement resolutions. Collaborate with manufacturing to ensure efficient transfer of design information. Champion new technologies and methods to improve design and production. Communicate effectively with multidisciplinary teams to support integration and testing. Qualifications Education: Master’s degree in mechanical engineering or related technical field. Experience: A minimum of 15 years of hands-on experience in mechanical design, integration, and testing of spacecraft and launch vehicle structures. Preferred Qualifications: Expertise in stress and static load testing for satellite or launch vehicle structures. Familiarity with design for manufacturability and on-orbit environments. Experience with Autodesk Inventor (preferred) or other CAD tools such as CATIA, SolidWorks, CREO. Soft Skills Strong interpersonal and leadership skills.

That number is real. WorkMundi's database shows 144,883 open engineer roles across the world. India has the most with 31,687 jobs, followed by the United States with 30,084. If you just finished reading one job ad and felt paralyzed by choice, you're not alone—but this scale is actually an advantage. It means you can afford to be selective.
Start by geography and language. The majority of engineer ads—117,837 of them—have the job posting text written in English. Use that as one filter, but remember: the ad text language tells you nothing about whether the role actually requires you to speak English day-to-day. Read the job description carefully. Then check which countries have the volume you're targeting. Singapore, Poland, and Australia round out the top five after India and the US.
Next, learn who's hiring. Accenture has posted 2,801 engineer roles. andurilindustries, speechify, and jobgether are also actively recruiting. If you're applying to one of these names, research their hiring patterns and interview style before you apply. That homework pays off.
When you interview, expect the question every engineer hears: 'Tell me about a time you had to debug a problem that wasn't in your job description.' Have a specific story ready—not a general one. Name the tools, the deadline pressure, and what you learned. Hiring managers listen for whether you see problem-solving as part of the role itself, not a favour.
