Job Summary
As a Mechanical Engineer at Lynk, you will be responsible for the analysis, design, build, and enhancement of the mechanical systems associated with our satellite communications payloads, satellites, testbeds, testing equipment, etc. Previous satellite design experience is required to be considered for this role. Some work products will include mechanical models of space and ground systems in CAD software, such as SolidWorks, and thermal analysis, structural analysis, vibration analysis, and finite element analysis to support critical system trades. In addition to design, you will also be responsible for integration and testing support of critical hardware systems such as satellite mechanical, structural, and electrical subsystems. While mechanically focused, your role will involve working closely with the Electrical, RF, Software, and Systems teams at the company.
If you enjoy the challenge of wearing many hats and have a track record of creative thinking to solve unconventional problems, then we look forward to meeting you!
Core Responsibilities
Because Lynk is a small company, the Mechanical Engineer will be involved in Mechanical and Thermal engineering work.
- Leading design and modeling of satellite and payload hardware, also some equipment for use on the ground and in the lab, using SolidWorks.
- Developing materials and structural such as, vibration, and analyses of space hardware.
- Performing thermal analyses of components and the entire system in all operational modes.
- Interface with systems, harness, software, and electrical RF engineering teams to inform satellite and payload mechanical design and layout.
- Support satellite and payload integration, testing, delivery to launch, and satellite bus partners and vendors.
- Designing and planning mechanical testing configurations on the ground when testing payload communications performance both in-lab and in-orbit. This has more mechanical aspects than you might think.
- Mechatronics work including testing, integration, assembly, and prototyping of electronic and mechanical hardware.
- Support the development and maintenance of technical documentation for payload and satellite design and development.
- Must be good with computers. Fluent in Windows; Proficient with Microsoft Office - Excel, Project, PowerPoint, Word.
Basic Qualifications
- A Bachelor’s degree or higher in Mechanical Engineering.
- 3 to 6 years of experience working on projects doing design, integration, or test of space hardware.
- Experience with GD&T and tolerance analysis.
- Experienced and highly proficient in 3D CAD software, ideally SolidWorks.
- Must be good with computers. Fluent in Windows; Proficient with Microsoft Office - Excel, Project, PowerPoint, Word.
Preferred Qualifications
- Experience managing large CAD assembly models and drawings.
- Experience with manufacturing and fabrication methods and tools. Machine shop experience is highly desired.
- Hands-on experience with integrating hardware and electronics or full satellites.
- Experience performing thermal, modal, random vibration, or structural finite element and hand calc analyses of individual components and integrated systems with tools such as Femap, NASTRAN, Ansys, or Thermal Desktop etc.
- Experience with MATLAB, Python, or other programming languages.

Search Telecom Jobs in VirginiaTelecom TN Sponsorship Jobs in Virginia: Frequently Asked Questions
Which telecom companies sponsor TN visas in Virginia?
Virginia's telecom employer base includes Verizon, T-Mobile, Lumen Technologies, and Comcast, as well as federal IT and telecom contractors such as Leidos, SAIC, and Booz Allen Hamilton with significant Northern Virginia footprints. Many of these organizations have established international hiring processes and have sponsored TN visa holders in engineering and network operations roles, though sponsorship availability varies by position and business need at any given time.
Which cities in Virginia have the most telecom TN sponsorship jobs?
Northern Virginia, particularly Tysons Corner, Reston, and Arlington, accounts for the highest concentration of telecom TN sponsorship opportunities in the state, driven by proximity to federal agencies and major network infrastructure hubs. Richmond has a growing presence through regional carrier offices, and Virginia Beach supports telecom roles tied to military and defense communications contracts along the Hampton Roads corridor.
What types of telecom roles typically qualify for TN sponsorship?
TN visa eligibility in telecom is tied to specific USMCA-listed occupational categories. Roles that commonly align include Computer Systems Analyst, Engineer (including telecommunications, electrical, and computer engineers), and Scientific Technician. Positions focused on network architecture, RF engineering, systems integration, and telecom software development frequently meet TN criteria when the role requires a relevant bachelor's degree and the applicant holds that qualifying credential.
How do I find telecom TN sponsorship jobs in Virginia?
Migrate Mate is built specifically for this search. You can filter by visa type (TN), industry (telecom), and state (Virginia) to see roles from employers who have indicated sponsorship willingness for TN holders. This saves time compared to sifting through general job boards where TN sponsorship eligibility is rarely surfaced. Migrate Mate's listings are updated regularly and focused on internationally qualified candidates from Canada and Mexico.
Are there Virginia-specific considerations for telecom TN sponsorship?
Northern Virginia's high concentration of federal contractors introduces one important consideration: many telecom roles tied to government contracts may require security clearances, which are generally only available to U.S. citizens or permanent residents. This can narrow TN-eligible openings within that segment of the market. Roles at commercial carriers and private-sector telecom firms in Virginia are less likely to carry clearance requirements and represent more accessible pathways for TN applicants.
