Space mechanical/thermal Engineer

SpaceLocker; Toulouse; Sur place; EUR 52 000 - 76 000; Plein temps

Résumé du poste

SpaceLocker is seeking a Mechanical and Thermal Engineer to design and develop space hardware parts through concepts to prototyping, while contributing to simulations and tests for reliable flight hardware.

You will work with SpaceLocker's engineering and AIT teams on payload hosting hardware, create and maintain 3D models, drawings and BOMs, and balance function, mass, manufacturability, assembly and cost. Fluency in English is required.

Qualifications

• Engineering degree in mechanical or aerospace engineering or related field.
• Experience designing structural elements for satellites 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 for payload hosting hardware, from concept to manufacturing-ready definition.
• Create and maintain 3D models, drawings, BOMs and related design documentation.
• Make design choices balancing function, mass, manufacturability, assembly and cost.
• Consider mechanical and thermal constraints (launch loads, operating temps, heat transfer) and interfaces with subsystems.
• Support mechanical and thermal analyses to evaluate design choices and iterations.
• Contribute to prototype assembly, hardware integration and issue investigation.
• Prepare and participate in test campaigns (thermal-vacuum, vibration) and analyze results.
• Collaborate with suppliers and manufacturing partners to resolve design questions.
• Contribute to design reviews and continuous improvement of SpaceLocker products and engineering practices.

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

Your missions

You will work closely with SpaceLocker’s engineering and AIT teams to:

• 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

This list is neither exhaustive nor exclusive. If you think you’re a good fit, even without matching every requirement, we’d love to hear from you.

Hard skills
