To complete our dynamic and international team, we are looking for a profile of an experienced Mechanical Engineer!

Develop concepts and mechanical layouts for new satellite missions in collaboration with internal and external teams.
Work closely with the CTO and the Product Owner to finalize design trade-offs for new products.
Design and develop 3D parts and assemblies (for both ground and space segments), along with their manufacturing drawings and processes.
Take ownership, produce and maintain detailed CAD models and their derived PDM systems.
Lead the maturation of existing products through the spacecraft's life-cycle by identifying and planning the activities, analysis, and simulations to be performed.
Produce and maintain project documentation: Assembly-Integration flow charts, CIDLs, mechanical SoW, ICDs, etc.
Perform Static and Dynamic Modeling of hardware using FEA tools to ensure survivability for launch loads.
Support Thermal Analysis and Characterization of hardware, including upgrading the simulation procedures in place.
Support Testing and Verification efforts.
You may also be required to contact potential suppliers and oversee subcontracted activities.
Apply the right standards to ensure safety and reliability of the mission while keeping a NewSpace approach.
