Résumé du poste

Gama, a NewSpace startup based in Ivry-sur-Seine near Paris, seeks a Senior Solar Array Engineer to own the mechanical design of deployable solar arrays from concept to production.

You will lead end-to-end architecture, perform trades and analyses, and work hands-on with prototype assemblies, deployment tests, and production line development, shaping a growing engineering team.

You will mentor junior engineers and collaborate with a highly international team in a fast-paced environment.

Qualifications

• 5+ years in spacecraft or launch vehicle mechanical design, ideally with solar array or deployable panel experience.
• Multiple full development cycles: hardware from concept to orbit/launch.
• Lightweight structural design and deployable mechanisms expertise.
• PV panel integration experience and hands-on CAD + hand calculations.

Responsabilités

• Design, develop and qualify mechanical subsystems of a lightweight deployable solar array, taking end-to-end ownership of the architecture.
• Drive design trades and analyses (structural, thermal, mechanism kinematics) from concept through detailed design and test.
• Hands-on hardware work for prototype assembly, deployment testing, system integration, and production line development.
• Build robust, flight-proven solutions meeting mass and volume targets in harsh launch and orbital environments.
• Define and execute integration, verification and validation strategies for subsystems.
• Mentor junior mechanical engineers and provide technical leadership for solar array design.
