Résumé du poste

E-Space is building a next-generation LEO satellite constellation. We are seeking a seasoned mechanical engineer to own the mechanical development of these systems from concept through to flight.

You will lead opto-mechanical development for our space products, collaborating with Optics, Thermal, Electronics, Systems, AIT, and Manufacturing teams. Based in Toulouse, France, you will work with suppliers and fabrication teams to bring designs from engineering units to flight hardware.

Qualifications

• Master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering or equivalent.
• 10+ years of experience in mechanical and opto-mechanical engineering for space applications.
• Proficiency in 3D CAD tools (CATIA, SolidWorks, or equivalent) and FEM/structural analysis software.
• Experience designing for active and passive optical alignment systems.
• Hands-on experience working with CNC machining suppliers and familiarity with precision manufacturing processes.

Responsabilités

• Design high-precision opto-mechanical assemblies using CAD and FEM tools, with a focus on active and passive optical alignment.
• Perform mechanical and thermo-mechanical analyses for high-precision assemblies under space environmental loads (vibration, shock, thermal, TVAC).
• Own designs end-to-end — from engineering units to flight hardware — including assembly fixtures, pre-assembly quality checks, and metrology plans.
• Support fabrication, assembly, and testing of flight builds, including hands-on cleanroom integration for small-volume production.
• Drive design-for-manufacturing decisions through close collaboration with CNC machining suppliers, identifying process opportunities and risks early.
• Contribute to cross-functional design reviews and represent the mechanical subsystem at program milestones.
