Senior Mechanism/Mechatronics Engineer

Senior Mechanism/Mechatronics Engineer

Aerospacelab

Mont-Saint-Guibert or Toulouse

Role Overview

As a satellite manufacturer and operator, Aerospacelab develops a range of units, payloads and platforms, several of them requiring mechanisms with stringent requirements: smooth and extended lifetime for reaction wheels, lightness and accurate pointing for gimbals, compactness and stiffness for deployable booms and arms, reliability and strength for release mechanisms, low power and repeatability for actuators, compactness and reliability for SADA,... you name it! To support those activities, we are looking for passionate and talented engineer with a user-centric mindset.

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

Key Activities

• Support or lead the development of mechanism systems at Aerospacelab (SADA, Gimbal…);
• Support all aspects of the development: specification, design, integration, test, commissioning;
• Perform concept trade-off, carry out overall design studies and validate the product through extensive testing;
• Support or lead a team of multi-disciplinary engineers working on mechanism project;
• Support the other teams in fulfilling their duties: system engineering, project management, AIT, avionics, AOCS, procurement,... Mechanisms can be found in most parts of the satellite!

Must have

• MSc degree in Electro-Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering or related field;
• 5y+ experience in Electro-mechanical Engineering functions;
• Know-how / experience in mechanism design (non-space mechanism is fine), the more you know the better;
• Demonstrated ability to work across the team and company to drive designs to completion in full autonomy;
• Ability to learn quickly;
• Good communication skills;
• Fluency in English.

Nice To have

• Experience in space mechanism design and development;
• Experience in leading new projects starting from scratch;
• Hands-on experience in tribology;
• Proficiency with common industry mechanical/electronic design software.
