About the role
- To build the CAD physical models of the vehicle and their sub-systems on Siemens NX and contribute to the choices in terms of overall architecture, aeroshape, equipment accommodation and main materials
- To maturate the CAD models by adjusting the architecture, accommodation, structure materials and thicknesses based on the outcomes of the thermo-mechanical computation loops and system trade-offs
- To collaborate closely with thermal and structural analysts, materials and manufacturing engineers to ensure compliance of the physical architecture with the mission environments and manufacturing constraints
- To ensure the configuration management of the CAD models
- To manage the vehicle structure mass budget, aided by the CAD model, and track it in the overall system database
- To contribute to co-engineering sessions with the other disciplines, by sharing guidelines or orders of magnitude in order to converge on the feasibility of a solution, based on engineering feeling or simplified analytical approach
- To define the volume allocations and clearances specifications towards the vehicle sub systems
- To contribute to the improvement of CAD tools and processes
- To effectively communicate and provide recommendations through the analysis, preparation, and presentation of technical data
- To provide technical documentation & drawings and participate to reviews of designed systems
- To interact with space agencies and ensure support towards the flight certification of the vehicle
- To contribute to the validation and verification of the requirements
