- Work closely with the CTO and the Product Owner to finalize design trade-offs for new products;
- Design and develop 3D parts and assemblies (for both ground and space segments), along with their manufacturing drawings and processes;
- Take ownership, produce and maintain detailed CAD models and their derived PDM systems;
- Lead the maturation of existing products through the spacecraft's life-cycle by identifying and planning the activities, analysis, and simulations to be performed;
- Produce and maintain project documentation: Assembly-Integration flow charts, CIDLs, mechanical SoW, ICDs, etc.;
- Perform Static and Dynamic Modeling of hardware using FEA tools to ensure survivability for launch loads;
- Support Thermal Analysis and Characterization of hardware, including upgrading the simulation procedures in place;
- Support Testing and Verification efforts;
- You may also be required to contact potential suppliers and oversee subcontracted activities;
- Apply the right standards to ensure safety and reliability of the mission while keeping a NewSpace approach.
