Les missions du poste
We are looking for a Design Engineer to lead the detailed mechanical design of satellite structures and subsystems, while contributing to the overall spacecraft integration. You will work closely with the Mechanical Architect and Structural Analysis team to translate system requirements into robust, manufacturable, and testable hardware.
This is a high-ownership role spanning concept design, detailed CAD, interface definition, and support through assembly, integration, and test (AIT).
Job Description
- Lead detailed mechanical design of satellite subsystems and structural components, including primary and secondary structures.
- Work closely with the Mechanical Architect to develop and refine spacecraft-level mechanical concepts and architectures.
- Translate system and structural requirements into manufacturable CAD designs.
- Design and define mechanical interfaces across subsystems to ensure integration consistency at spacecraft level.
- Produce high-quality 3D CAD models and detailed drawings (GD&T, tolerances, material specifications).
- Collaborate closely with Structural Analysis Engineers to iterate on mass optimization and structural performance.
- Support design for manufacturing (DFM), assembly (DFA), and integration constraints.
- Work hands-on with AIT teams during integration, alignment, and mechanical validation.
- Participate in defining test setups and support hardware during vibration and structural testing.
- Drive design improvements based on test results and manufacturing feedback.
- Contribute to design reviews (PDR, CDR, TRR, FRR) with clear mechanical justification.
- Ensure configuration control and design documentation consistency across the spacecraft.
