Pubblicato il 04-08-2026 - Altro in Città Metropolitana di Torino
Here at The Exploration Company, we are developing, producing, and operating Nyx, a modular and reusable space orbital vehicle that can eventually be refuelled in orbit and that can carry cargo - and potentially humans in the longer run.
Sebbene l'esperienza qualificato e le qualifiche siano fondamentali per questo ruolo, si assicuri di verificare di possedere le soft skill preferenziali, se richieste, prima di candidarsi.
We want you as a creative, innovative, CAD designer to help us in our mission by modelling the physical architecture of our current and future vehicles.
You will be successful in this role if you are able to help us:
To contribute to the definition of our overall vehicle architecture
To contribute to the detailed definition of our vehicle
Your main tasks are the following :
To build the CAD physical model of the vehicles and their sub-systems on NX (or equivalent) and contribute to the choices in terms of overall architecture, aeroshape, equipment accommodation and main materials
To maturate the CAD models by adjusting the architecture, accommodation, structure materials and thicknesses based on the outcomes of the thermo‑mechanical computation loops and system trade‑offs
To collaborate closely with thermal and structural analysts, materials and manufacturing engineers to ensure compliance of the physical architecture with the mission environments and manufacturing constraints
To ensure the configuration management of the CAD models
To manage the vehicle structure mass budget aided by the CAD model, and tracked in the overall system database
To contribute to co‑engineering sessions with the mission analysis, propulsion, avionics, GNC and system engineers, by sharing guidelines or orders of magnitude in order to converge on the feasibility of a solution, based on engineering feeling or simplified analytical approach
To define the volume allocations and clearances specifications towards the vehicle sub systems
To contribute to the improvement of CAD tools and processes
To effectively communicate and provide recommendations through the analysis, preparation, and presentation of technical data
To provide technical documentation & drawings and participate to reviews of designed systems
To assist the Additive Manufacturing engineers for dedicated studies
