About the role

Key responsibilities & impact
  • Lead the mechanical AIT team, organizing its work and owning the end-to-end mechanical AIT process for new spacecraft and subsystems.
  • Oversee qualification and acceptance vibration test campaigns for new satellites and subsystems, and the satellite-level qualification mass models used to run them.
  • Own the design, build, and upkeep of the Mechanical Ground Support Equipment (MGSE) the team relies on for testing and integration.
  • Lead flight model integration for the new spacecraft generation, ensuring AIT procedures are created and properly handed over to the production team.
  • Represent the team's testing and integration findings back to the design engineering groups, from early concept through late prototyping, and drive the resulting design changes.

Requirements

What you’ll need
  • Either experience leading people, or a senior, people-oriented technical background with a genuine interest in moving into people leadership.
  • Hands-on experience with mechanical AIT and test campaigns, comfortable doing the work yourself, not only directing it.
  • Experience organizing work across a team and taking ownership of a process end to end.
  • A can-do attitude and a hands-on engineering mindset, able to work both independently and as part of a team.
  • Comfortable working under pressure and tight timelines, since test campaigns can involve intense, demanding periods.
  • Experience with vibration testing and mechanical validation of hardware, and designing MGSE for satellite testing.
  • Nice to haves:
  • Experience in aerospace or satellite hardware development.
  • Hands-on experience in satellite assembly.
  • Familiarity with finite element analysis tools to support test setup validation.
