Here at The Exploration Company, we are building innovative aerospace technologies that advance the future of space transportation. 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. To contribute to the definition of our overall vehicle architecture 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 An advanced degree in mechanical, aerospace or manufacturing engineering would be appreciated Minimum of 5 years of experience as CAD designer Experience with CAD softwares (NX, CATIA…) Strong knowledge on aerospace vehicle design and associated challenges Experience in Additive Manufacturing Fluent in English.
