About the role
Key responsibilities & impact- Own the mechanical design, structural analysis, and optimization of critical elements of the satellite platform, working hands-on in CAD from concept through manufacturing, testing, and qualification.
- Guide material selection and analysis for the space environment, accounting for outgassing, thermal cycling, and thermoelastic effects across the platform's components.
- Work directly with manufacturers and subcontractors to ensure the quality, alignment, and performance of delivered components and mechanisms, and mentor other engineers on the team as they do the same.
Requirements
What you’ll need- Expert knowledge and hands-on skills in mechanical CAD design, analysis, and optimisation, covering all phases of the project from concept up to material and structural analysis.
- First-principles thinking: able to break down complex problems into fundamentals and build solutions from the ground up.
- Familiarity with material science and engineering, able to guide material selection and analysis for the space environment (outgassing, thermal cycling, thermoelastic effects).
- Good knowledge of testing, especially TVAC and vibration testing, and pre-launch qualification campaigns.
- Experience working with optical component manufacturers to ensure the right selection and quality of components to meet system requirements.
- Embracing the challenge, with a mindset of owning problems and solving them, and the capability of taking risks and leaning forward when needed. R&D style of learning by doing and iterating on the parts that require improvement.
- Experience delivering design through suppliers, with a proven record of working directly with manufacturers and subcontractors to get designs delivered to production, verified and validated.
- Comfortable mentoring other engineers and raising the technical bar across the team, without formal people-management responsibility.
- Nice to haves: Experience in QA for optical components and AIT for optical systems and/or precise mechanisms.
- Experience with large optical earth observation payloads.
