Space Mechanical Systems Engineer
Join our team and build the future of space technology
The candidate will work on various small satellite missions within the company's Space Missions area. This area is responsible for all tasks related to the mechanical and structural design of satellites, including modeling, simulation, and analysis of components and structures using advanced design tools.Throughout this process, the selected person will actively participate in key activities such as the detailed design of satellite mechanical subsystems, the development of optimized structures for launch and space, component integration, and the creation of 3D models and assemblies. In addition, the candidate will collaborate in the validation of the design through finite element analysis and physical testing, ensuring compliance with technical and mission requirements. He/she will also work closely with other engineering teams to ensure compatibility between the different satellite subsystems and optimize structural and thermal performance.Additionally, the candidate will be able to offer support in areas related to mission analysis when necessary. This will include activities such as the selection of physical components for the chosen architecture, the definition of mission and technical specifications for all subsystems, and support in their acquisition. He/she will also participate in the analysis of system performance and the management of technical budgets, as well as in the management of internal and external interfaces for all mission elements.
