Knowledge of the space project development cycle and of ESA processes and the ECSS regulations applicable to the design, verification, qualification and acceptance of equipment, as well as knowledge of materials and manufacturing processes. Proficiency in CAD tools and structural, thermal or dynamic analysis software.

Specific experience in ISAM (In-Orbit Servicing, Assembly & Manufacturing), ADR (Active Debris Removal), refuelling, satellite capture or in-orbit handling and assembly would be an advantage.

WHAT DO WE OFFER?

• Hybrid working model and 8 weeks per year of teleworking outside your usual geographical area.
• Flexible start and finish times, and intensive working hours Fridays and in summer.
• Personalized career plan development, training and language learning support.
• National and international mobility. Do you come from another country? We can offer you a relocation package.
