OverviewAs a Mechanical Design Engineer, you will specify, design and implement the mechanical architecture of complex spacecraft. You join a system-level core team and liaise with agencies and customers to translate high-level requirements into feasible mechanical solutions. You'll work on metallic and composite structures, with an emphasis on manufacturability, integration and verification. This role offers impact across spacecraft platforms, from design to qualification, within a collaborative, cross-functional environment.ResponsabilitàDefine mechanical/structural requirements from customer inputsSupport concept studies with System Engineering to inform architecture choicesDefine mechanical architecture and perform design/analysis activitiesDevelop and run FEM-based and simple analyses to support sizing decisionsPrepare procurement specifications for structures and subsystemsTechnical follow-up of structures procurement and subcontractor managementSupport manufacturing process qualification for mechanical hardwareAssist hardware integration and testing activitiesContribute to test plans and specifications for mechanical testsSupport Quality Assurance in NCR discussion affecting mechanical partsParticipate in internal and external reviews and meetingsRequisiti fondamentaliAt least five years of relevant space experienceExperience managing subcontractors technically and programmaticallyLeadership experience of a technical teamKnowledge of structural requirements for space hardware (satellites, modules, re-entry vehicles)Knowledge of materials and manufacturing processes for structuresExperience with mechanical analysis tools such as NASTRAN and FEMAP (preferred)Hand calculation skills and engineering judgmentKnowledge of fracture mechanics and fatigue (preferred)Strong teamwork, problem solving and communication skillsProficiency in English (spoken and written)Ability to work in shifts if requiredproactive problem solvingstrong communicationteam leadershipNASTRANFEMAPstructure design for metallic and composite structures
