Descrizione del lavoro

The Exploration Company is seeking a skilled CAD designer to model the physical architecture of our aerospace vehicles. You will build CAD models in NX or equivalents, contribute to overall architecture decisions and collaborate with thermal, structural, and manufacturing teams to ensure feasibility and compliance.

You will mature CAD data through trade-offs and thermo-mechanical loops, manage mass budgets, and participate in co-engineering sessions to align with mission goals.

Competenze

• Advanced degree in mechanical, aerospace or manufacturing engineering is appreciated.
• Minimum of 5 years of experience as CAD designer.
• Experience with CAD softwares (NX, CATIA...).
• Strong knowledge on aerospace vehicle design and associated challenges.
• Experience in Additive Manufacturing.
• Fluent in English. German and French is an asset.

Mansioni

• To build the CAD physical model of the vehicles and their sub-systems on NX (or equivalent) and contribute to the choices in terms of overall architecture, aeroshape, equipment accommodation and main materials.
• To maturate the CAD models by adjusting the architecture, accommodation, structure materials and thicknesses based on the outcomes of the thermo-mechanical computation loops and system trade-offs.
• To collaborate closely with thermal and structural analysts, materials and manufacturing engineers to ensure compliance of the physical architecture with the mission environments and manufacturing constraints.
• To ensure the configuration management of the CAD models.
• To manage the vehicle structure mass budget aided by the CAD model, and tracked in the overall system database.
• To contribute to co-engineering sessions with the mission analysis, propulsion, avionics, GNC and system engineers, by sharing guidelines or orders of magnitude in order to converge on the feasibility of a solution, based on engineering feeling or simplified analytical approach.
• To define the volume allocations and clearances specifications towards the vehicle sub systems.
• To contribute to the improvement of CAD tools and processes.
• To effectively communicate and provide recommendations through the analysis, preparation, and presentation of technical data.
• To provide technical documentation & drawings and participate to reviews of designed systems.
• To assist the Additive Manufacturing engineers for dedicated studies.
