Job description

Your mission

As a member of our Orbital Systems team in Munich, Germany you will work closely with our Systems Architects and other domains to shape the future space mobility spacecraft on System & Subsystem levels, as well as to perform relevant mechanical verification activities.

Your role will include:

• Shape and implement systems for refuelling infrastructure, starting from system proposals and pre-development phases to detailed definition, qualification and support towards production implementation
• Perform mechanical analyses in 3DX / Abaqus / Simulia
• Implement the CAD models in CATIA / 3DX
• Interface with other disciplines and share a systems vision
• Contribute to MBSE models and ways of working
• Derive and manage Mechanical requirements
• Support integration and verification activities (TVAC, others) on subsystem and system level
• Integration & Production support
• Support with other relevant ad-hoc activities.

Your profile

• 2+ years in spacecraft mechanical design engineering
• We are also happy to consider significantly more experienced Mechanical Design engineers, with matching compensation
• Strong understanding of mechanical physical principles and relevant environments
• High level proficiency in design & analysis tools
• Basic knowledge of Systems Engineering practices including Requirements Engineering; ECSS
• Passion for creating a new spaceflight paradigm (space logistics & orbital refuelling)
• Strong analytical and communication skills
• Accountable with an agile mindset
• Understanding of manufacturing and assembly processes, and experience with MAIT, at least on interface level

Nice to have

• Thermal engineering / analysis basics

We offer

• Immediate and flexible start
• Permanent full-time position (40 h/week)
• Attractive salary
• 30 days annual vacation and flexible working hours
• Bike leasing, Jobticket and EGYM Wellpass

About Us

We are deltaVision GmbH – a young, ambitious high-tech company based in Munich, driving the future of in-space mobility and infrastructure.

Since our founding in 2022, we have been developing, manufacturing, and qualifying advanced fluid control systems for the aerospace industry and H₂ aviation. Our expertise spans cryogenic and high-pressure propulsion systems as well as next-generation orbital refueling technologies, including couplers and fully integrated refueling systems designed for the harsh environment of space.

With our deep knowledge of fluid control for space systems, we are shaping the space economy towards refuelable and reusable spacecraft. We enable longer mission lifetimes, greater operational flexibility, and entirely new architectures for sustainable space operations.

We are rethinking spaceflight — enabling a future where spacecraft are not disposable, but reusable, refuelable, and built to operate sustainably in orbit.

What sets us apart?

• Innovative products enabling next-generation space infrastructure
• Exceptional cost efficiency through optimized design and manufacturing
• Rapid development and delivery cycles beyond traditional industry standards
