They will also act as a more general Mechanical Engineer, predominantly at satellite level. Beyond structural analysis, this role extends to mechanical trade studies, vendor selection, mechanical layouts, interface design, drawings, and assembly & test.
 
They will also be responsible for reviewing mechanical analysis/test results from suppliers and customer Payloads.
 
Ideally, the successful candidate will also have a strong understanding of the fundamentals of satellite thermal design. They will be capable, through training if necessary, of performing thermal analysis of our satellites to confirm temperatures remain within acceptable limits.

  • FEA experience at Spacecraft level. Expert-level knowledge of at least one solver and pre-/post-processor package and cursory knowledge of others (Femap, Patran, Nastran, ANSYS, etc).
  • Experience correlating FEA models to vibration test outputs.
  • Can concisely document analysis and test findings in report format.
  • Possess strong communication and organizational skills.
  • System-level thinking and approach to problem-solving.
