Thermomechanical Engineer

Thermomechanical Engineer

Aerospacelab

Mont-Saint-Guibert, Belgium or Toulouse, France

Role overview

As thermomechanical solution engineer, you will encompass the mechanical aspects of our future platforms, dealing hands-on with structural, thermal and system constraints to bring up the best solution for our customers. Those solutions are first to be found through swift concept study iterations, in close coordination with the sales team, then detailed and brought to life through pragmatic detailed design with the rest of the project team.

You will therefore join an efficient team that works on cutting-edge satellite from their inception to their final assembly: our activities range from performing the concept trade-offs and the overall design studies to the validation of the product through extensive testing.

Duties

• Understand customers constraints and wishes to provide sound early concepts;
• Translate those concepts into engineering constraints (mechanical, thermal, EE, RF, AOCS,…) and come up with spacecraft accommodations;
• Perform concept trade-off, carry out overall design studies and validate the product through extensive testing;
• Validate the design product and prepare its industrialization: configuration, drawings, stack-up analysis, material and treatments;
• Define interface files and validation of the integration with suppliers and/or launch authority;
• Support the testing activities: assembly, structural and thermal FE validation and prediction, Ground Support Equipment definition;

Must have

• Communication, solution oriented, fast learner;
• At least 5 years of experience in aerospace CAD design, along with hands-on experience in structure and/or thermal modelling. Good knowledge of manufacturing technologies and drawings;
• Excellent communication skills;
• Fast learner;
• Result-oriented;
• Fluency in English;
• Willingness to challenge the European space industry statu quo.

Nice to have

• Experience in RF/telecom;
• Experience in spacecraft system engineering.
