Résumé du poste

Infinite Orbits PTE Ltd. in Toulouse seeks a Design Engineer to lead the detailed mechanical design of satellite structures and subsystems, collaborating with the Mechanical Architect and Structural Analysis team to translate requirements into robust, manufacturable hardware and testable assemblies.

You will own concept design through AIT, define mechanical interfaces, produce 3D CAD models (CATIA/SolidWorks), support DFM/DFA, and contribute to design reviews with clear mechanical justification.

Qualifications

• Master’s or Bachelor’s degree in Aerospace Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or related field.
• 3-7+ years of experience in mechanical design of aerospace or high-performance systems.
• Strong proficiency in CAD tools (e.g., CATIA, SolidWorks or similar).
• Experience designing flight hardware, ideally in satellite or space systems.
• Strong understanding of structural principles, materials, and mechanical interfaces.
• Strong knowledge of tolerancing, GD&T, and mechanical drawing standards.
• Ability to work closely with analysis, systems, and manufacturing teams.
• Nice to Have: Experience with small satellites or spacecraft platforms.

Responsabilités

• Lead detailed mechanical design of satellite subsystems and structural components.
• Work closely with the Mechanical Architect to develop spacecraft-level mechanical concepts and architectures.
• Translate system and structural requirements into manufacturable CAD designs.
• Design and define mechanical interfaces across subsystems for integration consistency.
• Produce high-quality 3D CAD models and detailed drawings (GD&T, tolerances, material specs).
• Collaborate with Structural Analysis Engineers to iterate on mass optimization and structural performance.
• Support design for manufacturing (DFM), assembly (DFA), and integration constraints.
• Work hands-on with AIT teams during integration, alignment, and mechanical validation.
• Participate in test setups and support hardware during vibration and structural testing.
• Drive design improvements based on test results and manufacturing feedback.
• Contribute to design reviews (PDR, CDR, TRR, FRR) with clear mechanical justification.
• Ensure configuration control and design documentation consistency across the spacecraft.
