The mechanical team works on the structural, thermal, and mechanical aspects of the satellite and the payload. They make 3D models to plan the layout, design mechanical components, run simulations and then build the satellite. They ensure structural integrity concerning vibrations, temperatures, shock, and other hazards. Additionally, they have other projects that work indirectly on building a satellite, like designing and building foldable solar panels, and general test equipment and rigs to assist the other groups.
