Jobbeschreibung

Here at The Exploration Company, we are developing, producing, and operating Nyx, a modular and reusable space orbital vehicle that can eventually be refuelled in orbit and that can carry cargo - and potentially humans in the longer run.

We want you as a talented MAIT MGSE Engineer to help us in our mission by designing and delivering the MGSEs needed for the preparation of our next capsule.

You will be successful in this role if you are able to help us:

• Design and deliver the required MGSEs (mechanical + electro-mechanical)
• Make calculation/stress analysis demonstrating good safety margins
• Deliver the detailed design of the GSE (3D models and 2D manufacturing drawings)

Key Responsibilities

In your capacity as MAIT MGSE Engineer, your role will be continuously evolving, but day to day duties will include:

• Conceptualise, design and deliver the MGSEs that we will need for assembly or testing activities.
• Confirm with mechanical analysis/hand calculations that the design is compatible with the external loads.
• Support also the design of automation parts, if any (electrical motors with variators and control to move some parts).
• Discuss with suppliers the MGSE designs for ease of manufacturing and with the most adequate processes.
• Follow up the manufacturing with the suppliers (with the support of our supply chain in Germany) and answer the technical questions/concerns they might face.
• You will support the AIT technicians to install these MGSE if needed.

What we would love to see from you

In the role of MAIT MGSE Engineer ideally, you will have the following:

• Mechanical / Aerospace engineering degree or similar
• Minimum 2 years of experience in CAD design (Siemens NX or similar) and FE analysis (Hypermesh or similar)
• Background in / familiarity with design and FE analysis of steel structures (either welded or bolted) like test setups, jigs, fixtures, etc.
• Experience with planning/execution of mechanical tests in-house would be a plus
• Good communication
• Creative with innovative ideas and technical problem solving/troubleshooting skills
• Familiar with different manufacturing processes (e.g. machining, welding, etc.)
• Basic hand‑on experience with mechanical assembly and simple machining tools like drilling machine
• Previous experience in space AIT and MGSE design would be highly appreciated
• Good English skills (German would be a plus)
