About Overview Energy
Overview Energy is a mission-driven team committed to building a new layer of energy infrastructure: satellites in geosynchronous orbit that redirect solar energy to terrestrial solar projects via passively safe near-infrared light, without the need for rectennas. We're in the earliest phase, where every structure that survives launch and years in orbit is engineered end-to-end by a small, dedicated team. Headquartered in the Northern Virginia / Washington, DC area and backed by world-class investors, we are advancing the next generation of clean energy technology.
About the Role
As Overview Energy's first dedicated Structures Analyst, you'll establish the analysis, verification, and model validation capability that future spacecraft programs will build upon. Every structure Overview Energy puts into orbit has to survive launch and years of thermal cycling. Your analysis is what stands between a design and a satellite that fails silently thousands of kilometers away. Get it right, and solar panels already sitting on the ground start producing power after dark.
Based in our Ashburn, VA, office, you will work alongside the structural, optomechanical, mechanisms and systems engineering teams running simulations, defining test requirements, developing test stands and model validation strateg
