Mechanical & Thermal Engineer

SpaceLocker; Toulouse; Sur place; EUR 45 000 - 70 000; Plein temps

Résumé du poste

SpaceLocker is seeking a Mechanical and Thermal Engineer to design and develop space hardware parts from concept to prototyping, ensuring reliability for flight. You will create and maintain 3D models, drawings and BOMs, while balancing function, mass, manufacturability and cost.

You will contribute to mechanical and thermal analyses, support test campaigns like thermal-vacuum and vibration, and collaborate with suppliers and manufacturing partners to resolve design questions.

Qualifications

• Engineering degree in mechanical engineering, aerospace engineering or a related field.
• Previous experience designing structural elements for satellites is required, including proficiency with 3D CAD and technical drawings.
• Familiarity with mechanical or thermal simulation and testing; spacecraft AIT experience is a plus. Fluent in English.

Responsabilités

• Design mechanical parts and assemblies from concept to manufacturing-ready definition.
• Create and maintain 3D models, drawings, BOMs and related design documentation.
• Balance function, mass, manufacturability and cost in design choices.
• Consider mechanical and thermal constraints including launch loads and temperatures.
• Support mechanical/thermal analyses to evaluate designs.
• Contribute to prototype assembly, hardware integration and issue investigation.
• Participate in test campaigns (thermal-vacuum, vibration) and analyze results.
• Collaborate with suppliers and manufacturing to resolve design questions.
• Contribute to design reviews and continuous engineering improvements.

Description du poste

We are looking for a Mechanical and Thermal Engineer to design and develop the parts that make our space hardware real. You will take components from early concepts through detailed design and prototyping, while contributing to the simulations and tests that help us build reliable hardware for flight.

Your missions

• Design mechanical parts and assemblies for payload hosting hardware, from initial concepts to manufacturing-ready definition
• Create and maintain 3D models, drawings, bills of materials and related design documentation
• Make design choices that balance function, mass, manufacturability, assembly and cost
• Consider mechanical and thermal constraints, including launch loads, operating temperatures, heat transfer and interfaces with other subsystems
• Support mechanical and thermal analyses to assess design choices and identify areas that need iteration
• Contribute to prototype assembly, hardware integration and the investigation of mechanical or thermal issues
• Help prepare and participate in relevant test campaigns, such as thermal-vacuum or vibration testing, and analyze the results
• Work with suppliers and manufacturing partners to resolve design and production questions
• Contribute to design reviews and the continuous improvement of SpaceLocker’s products and engineering practices
