Your mission

Lead the design and development of complex mechanical systems from requirements definition to validated hardware, ensuring an optimal balance between performance, manufacturability, cost, and reliability. As a technical reference within the team, you will drive engineering decisions, collaborate across disciplines, review designs, and contribute to the successful delivery of high-performance products for challenging aerospace and space applications.

Your profile

- Senior mechanical design engineer with 5+ years of hands-on experience.
- Strong expertise in advanced 3D CAD modelling, most preferably SolidWorks. Experience with Siemens NX, CATIA, Creo or equivalent CAD platforms is also valued.
- Demonstrated experience translating external and internal requirements into robust mechanical solutions, balancing performance, manufacturability, cost, schedule and integration constraints throughout iterative development cycles.
- Extensive experience designing complex mechanical components and assemblies, with a strong understanding of mechanical interfaces, system integration and configuration control.
- Proven ability to analyse engineering challenges critically, generate alternative design approaches, evaluate trade-offs and drive technical decisions based on engineering evidence.
- Strong experience creating detailed manufacturing documentation, including GD&T;, interface definitions, assembly procedures and technical drawing packages.
- Good knowledge of manufacturing processes and Design for Manufacturing/Assembly (DFM/DFA), particularly machining, metal fabrication, additive manufacturing and precision assembly.
- Experience collaborating closely with multidisciplinary teams, including mechanical, thermal, systems, manufacturing and test engineers,



to converge on optimal technical solutions.
- Practical understanding of mechanical and thermal analysis workflows, including model preparation, meshing strategies, simulation setup, interpretation of results and validation of engineering assumptions. Direct hands-on FEA/thermal simulation experience is highly desirable.
- Experience managing CAD structures, revisions, configurations, technical baselines and documentation within a PDM/PLM environment.
- Strong experience working in collaborative design environments, coordinating parallel development activities and maintaining consistency across multiple subsystems and contributors.
- Detail-oriented, proactive and solution-driven, with excellent communication skills and the ability to constructively challenge assumptions when required.
- Motivated to work in a fast-paced and ambitious engineering environment, taking ownership of technical challenges and continuously improving both products and engineering practices.

Nice to Have

- Previous experience in the space industry is strongly preferred.
- Experience working on spacecraft, propulsion systems, scientific instruments, aerospace hardware or other highly demanding engineering products.
- Good understanding of the space engineering environment, including typical material selection constraints, environmental considerations, qualification approaches and industry best practices.
- Experience with thermal and structural simulation tools.
- Knowledge of ECSS standards and experience working within space, aerospace or other highly controlled engineering development processes.
- Experience with Dassault 3DEXPERIENCE, Teamcenter, Windchill or similar PLM/PDM platforms.
- Professional working proficiency in English.
