As a Mechanical engineer you will:

• Take lead responsibility for the mechanical structure within individual satellite or payload projects, such as developing mounting structures for subsystems or optical components, deployment mechanisms, or even an entire satellite.

• Be involved in all aspects of mechanical design, from initial concept to part designs, assemblies, production drawing generation, and manufacturing orders.

• Design components for upcoming satellite missions, testing, and ground support.

• Perform hands-on prototyping, both with 3D printed and metal parts, including conducting first assemblies and debugging, to improve your mechanical design.

• Work closely with our AIT team during development phases and assist with the assembly, integration, and testing of flight hardware.

• Participate in design reviews, from the concept level down to individual parts.

• Plan and assist mechanical test campaigns for the satellite and its subsystems, including functional and vibration tests.

• Practical experience (3+ years) in the development of complex mechanical structures and mechanisms, including concept, design, and production drawing generation.

• Proficiency in CAD software, preferably Solidworks.

• Strong hands-on attitude and experience in rapid prototyping technologies (tell us about your side-projects!).

• Strong problem-solving skills with a proactive mindset.

• Exceptional organizational skills and a structured approach to work.

  • You are good in recognizing timeline, monetary or design related risks and communicate them early and effectively.
