Company OverviewFinis Terrae is an Italian space company developingVERTUE, a green Orbital Propulsion Module for constellation deployment, in-orbit servicing, refuelling and cislunar missions.
It runs on technology that does not exist together anywhere else: a throttleable bi-propellant engine fed byelectric pumps,green propellants, acomposite toroidal tankand amicro-acceleration devicefor propellant management in microgravity — for a structural efficiency up to 60% better than current competitors.
Se è interessato/a a candidarsi per questo lavoro, la preghiamo di assicurarsi di soddisfare i seguenti requisiti, elencati di seguito.
Building it means designing pumps, valves and actuators that have to work, once, perfectly, after months in orbit.
That is the job.
The roleYou will own mechanical and fluidic subsystems of VERTUE —mechanisms above all: electric pumps, valves, actuators, moving assemblies— from concept to qualification, working directly with the CTO.
Define subsystem architecture, requirements, interfaces and verification strategy.
Design and draft in CAD (SolidWorks, CATIA), through to drawings released to manufacturing.
Implement "Design for Manufacturing" practices onto the baseliner configuration of the product.
Run the analyses that justify the design: FEA (Ansys Mechanical / Abaqus) and CFD (Ansys Fluent / OpenFOAM).
Verify against launch and orbital environments: loads, vibration and shock, torque and power margins, vacuum tribology, bearings, sealing.
Apply ECSS and applicable design codes, and produce the documentation behind PDR, CDR, TRR and QR.
Specify and follow hardware with suppliers, and plan and support qualification test campaigns.
What we are looking forMSc in Mechanical or Aerospace Engineering, strong academic record.

Around 3+ years of relevant experience— not an entry-level role.
Someone who has designed real hardware, seen it tested, and is ready for far more ownership than their current role allows.
Experience withmechanisms for space or other high-reliability applications: pumps, valves, actuators, deployment or separation systems, rotating machinery.
Autonomy in mechanical design and drafting(SolidWorks, GD&T;) andin analysis(FEA and/or CFD) — able to decide what to simulate and defend the result.
Solid grounding indesign standards and verification logic.
ECSS is a plus; a rigorous standards-based culture from another regulated sector (aviation, energy, oil & gas, motorsport, medical devices) is equally valued.
Fluent English— our working language.
Italian is useful, not required.
Based in, or willing to relocate to,Rome or Turin.
Nice to haveLiquid propulsion feed systems or turbopumps, mechatronics and actuator integration, multibody dynamics, composite structures, ESA/ASI programme experience.
Why it is worth your timeFull subsystem ownership from day one, not in five years.
The complete engineering cycle — requirements, CAD, FEA and CFD, standards, suppliers, qualification — closed by one engineer, which is exactly how lead engineers are made.
Genuinely novel technology, direct access to the CTO, short decision chains.
Hardware you design now is meant to fly.
Benefits and ContractPermanent contract under the Italian CCNL Metalmeccanici.
Compensation commensurate with experience.
Relocation support.
Training and technical publication opportunities.
We are an international team and actively welcome applications from outside Italy — high-level expertise travels, and we will support the move.
Equal-opportunity employer.
xysqume We evaluate engineering ability and nothing else.
