Mechanical Engineer
Pubblicato il 23-08-2026 - Revolv Space in Torino
Space assets and services are not fully monetized. At Revolv Space, we are solving the problem of low duty cycles by developing and manufacturing the next generation of critical subsystems enabling continuous spacecraft operations and therefore full monetization of space assets.
We start with tackling the power limitations of small satellites by providing best-in-class products for small satellites: Solar Array Drive Assemblies, solar arrays and deployment mechanisms.
To achieve this mission, we are on the lookout for a mechanical and mechanism designer to fill the role of Mechanical Engineer at Revolv Space. The ideal candidate will have 3-5 years of relevant experience and will be a swiss-army knife when it comes to designing, prototyping and testing complex mechanical and electromechanical systems.
Your role will be to conduct the development and prototyping of space mechanisms and related ground equipment. This role puts you in close collaboration with the Head of Mechanical Systems, offering a unique perspective into the workings of a fast-growing startup. It's a chance to play a crucial part in our team, where your contributions will directly shape the space systems we develop.
Location: Turin, Italy
Working language: English
Starting date: September 2026
Your mission
- design and prototyping of mechanical and electromechanical systems (spacecraft mechanisms, robotic systems, structures, ground support equipment);
- analysis and validation of our designs through various methods of testing;
- creation of design documentation, including 2D drawings of mechanical parts;
- participation in the AIT (assembly, integration and testing) of prototypes of the developed space systems and ground support equipment.
Requirements:
- mechanical, structural,
aerospace engineering or similar background;
- 4-5 years of demonstrated experience with autonomous design of mechanical systems (preferably mechanisms);
- good knowledge of CAD systems (we use Autodesk Inventor);
- good knowledge of physics in the context of space engineering (structural mechanics, vibration, heat transfer, etc.);
- proficient use of English (speaking and writing);
- ability to work autonomously;
- team player.
Nice to have:
- experience in space systems AIT / prototyping;
- good knowledge of space industry standards, in particular those referring to design, assembly, integration and testing of space systems.
What we offer:
- RAL 35.000-45.000 EUR
- goal-oriented environment with flexible working hours;
- possibility of occasional remote work;
- international team driven by passion and commitment;
- company activities and retreats;
- meal vouchers (Buoni pasto);
- hands-on experience with the design, manufacturing, and testing of space-grade systems;
- direct impact on a NewSpace startup in the heart of Europe’s high-tech hub
